Hi-Yu festivities aren’t over yet. The community brunch just wrapped up; the coronation of the next Miss West Seattle Hi-Yu is tomorrow night. But this is the last of our parade reports — a few loose ends, including the list of award winners, a few more pix, and links to other parade-photo galleries out there in WSB-land, after the jump:

First, the list of winners:

Marching bands: All-City (shown below as they danced at the Cali/Alaska intersection), Kennedy

Also, two other galleries are online (that we know of): WSB reader Jason got some great shots, as did Rhonda from Beach Drive Blog, and Creighton, who has awesome closeups. (Did you post some? Tell us about it.)

Meantime, we won’t be going through parade withdrawal just yet; next Saturday night is the biggie, the Seafair Torchlight Parade through downtown, where we will cheer wildly for the West Seattle float and many other faves. (More on that parade @ the Seafair site.)
