SLIDESHOW: Greenwood Seafair Parade turns 60

Thousands of people young and old lined the streets of Greenwood July 28 to bear witness to the 60th annual Greenwood Seafair Parade.

Politicians and princesses waved to the crowd, marching bands played, giant meerkats posed and children swarmed to the free candy being tossed their way.

The Greenwood Seafair Parade truly feels like a neighborhood event as business owners and patrons watched from windows and doorways, old-time residents came out of their homes to line the sidewalk and inhabitants of the newer apartment developments watched from their balconies.

Seafair 2010 continues July 31 with the Torchlight Parade in downtown Seattle.

Who's in charge of cleaning

Who's in charge of cleaning up after the parade???? Our neighborhood is TRASHED. You might as well named it, "Excuse to eat unhealthy packaged food and throw it on the ground like it doesn't matter" Parade.
