Highline will explode with Independence Day events on Wednesday, July 4.
So take a mid-week work break and enjoy parades, fireworks and more with your family.
Fuel for the old gas-guzzler is expensive so celebrate the national holiday, locally.
Burien
Organizers say the Burien Independence Day Parade has gained a reputation as one of the most enjoyable and spirited community parades in this region.
Community pride will shine with marching bands, energetic dance teams, elaborate floats and vintage autos.
Local community members will recognize familiar faces among the many organizations and elected officials that participate.
The parade is set against the charming backdrop of Downtown Burien, which features a mixture of business, retail and restaurants, along with the central landmarks of Burien Town Square and City Hall.
This year, the Grand Marshall of the parade is John Feeney, recipient of the Burien Citizen of the Year award. He is a mentor in Highline’s New Start program, as well as a volunteer at several elementary school reading programs. Feeney will be joined by several of his reading students in the parade.
