COUNTDOWN: Updates for West Seattle Fourth of July Kids’ Parade, five days away

(WSB file photo)

Only five days until the Fourth of July! The biggest holiday event on the peninsula is the West Seattle Fourth of July Kids’ Parade, now presented by the Admiral Neighborhood Association, 10 am Friday from 44th SW/Sunset SW [map]. This parade is for kids and their parents/caregivers/etc. – no pre-registration necessary, just show up! Just before the parade rolls out, organizers tell us, the national anthem will be sung this year by 12-year-old Lola Orza; ANA president Joanie Jacobs will speak briefly; and the parade’s founders will be special guests. The parade route will be the same as always, west/southwest to Atlantic, east on Atlantic, across California, then heading for Hamilton Viewpoint Park, where activities including sack races await, plus food/beverage/treat trucks and carts (listed here). The parade runs on volunteers and sponsors (also listed here – WSB is this year’s media sponsor). See you there!

    If you live on the parade route, please move your car the night before so the fire truck and kids can get through!
