SEATTLE PRIDE PARADE
Seattle's premier pride day for the queer community.
11:00 am onwards
Have breakfast on Capitol Hill (Broadway Grill, Julia's - early because it fills up!) and then find a spot along Broadway and watch the dykes on bikes and all the other floats (starts at 11:00/11:30). Then make your way to Volunteer Park and check out all the vendor and organization booths, and hear the music and festivities at the main stage. We are going to try to make it, but most likely won't, given that today's our big day and we will have details to attend to! Many REGRETS that we are not going to be able to attend!
