The Seattle Chinatown Seafair Parade, held on Sunday, was a vibrant celebration that encapsulates the essence of cultural diversity and community spirit.
Always a fan favorite was the 100-foot dragon, which weaved through the parade route, captivating onlookers with its elaborate design and the rhythmic beat of accompanying drums.
A highlight of the parade is the Chinese Community Girls Drill Team, adorned in striking traditional Chinese opera costumes.
Parade goers were also treated to various colorful floats and performances from local community teams.

It would be nice to give one line of credit to the Greater Seattle Chinese Chamber of Commerce that as the organizer, went through tons of red tapes of the City ‘s Special Event Permit applications and coordinated the traffic, Metro, and most important, the Seattle Police Department for this annual community celebration!
