-The Fourth of July Kids’ Parade crosses California SW near Hamilton Viewpoint Park, so there’ll be some waits there in the 10 am hour.

-Note that waterfront streets (Harbor, Alki Avenues) will be very congested late Friday night (the fireworks show from Lake Union is partly visible, and it’s at 10:15 pm).
