Families brought their apples to be pressed for cider. Even though it was pouring rain, the event grew from last year and attendees enjoyed the fellowship AND fresh-pressed cider. The cider press was provided by the West Seattle Tool Library (a Neighborhood Matching Fund-supported project). (Photos courtesy of Diane Brooks)
