From the other side of the Fauntleroy-Vashon-Southworth ferry run – and a few miles’ drive beyond that – came the winners of both the Float and Overall categories in Saturday’s West Seattle Grand Parade, the Port Orchard Fathoms O’ Fun float (check out the royalty’s dance moves). Our parade coverage continues (previous installments are archived here) with the full list of winners, and more photos, just ahead:

One more parade installment, but it’ll take another day or two to put together – confessions of a parade nut (me) participating in a parade for the first time, including parade-route POV vid and pix (p.s. thanks to the sweet people who upon sighting of our sign, shown below in an MKH photo, yelled YAY, WEST SEATTLE BLOG! as well as to those who yelled YAY, WEST SEATTLE VOLUNTEERS!, the people we were there to honor – even the parade itself would be impossible without volunteer power behind the scenes!). Meantime, we’ve created a West Seattle Grand Parade “category” where all our coverage is archived, newest to oldest (we’re gradually adding the reports from past years to it too): You can find it here.
