Annual 3-day community street festival in The Junction, organized by
WS Junction (45th edition in 2026, July 9-12). No ICS/API/JSON feed —
just static marketing pages on `wsjunction.org` and a separate
`westseattlesummerfest.com` site. No consistent "Nth weekend" date
pattern to support a recurring YAML entry (dates shift year to year).
Single annual multi-day event with no machine-readable schedule of
sub-events (stages/times) — not viable as either a ripper or recurring
source.

Re-confirmed 2026-08-04: checked the Association's `/event-directory/`
page (a broader annual-events listing than just Summer Fest) — still
plain static WordPress content, no ICS/API/Tribe Events plugin anywhere
on `wsjunction.org`. No change. (That same page surfaced a separate,
genuinely new candidate with a clean recurring date pattern — see
`docs/source-candidates/west-seattle-harvest-fest.md`.)
