 Hungry? Northwest News Radio's Manda Factor tells us the bite is back at Seattle Center. The Bite of Seattle features about 250 food and drink vendors, more than 60 musical acts. The new festival organizer anticipates about 450,000 people. It's free to get in. Cash card and contactless payment will be accepted this time. That's a change from last year when the former festival operator, Kirkland-based Check, rolled out an app-based payment system that was reportedly riddled with problems.
