A tradition in West Seattle since 1935, the West Seattle Grand Parade was back for 2022, making this technically making this the 85th year of its appearance. It's even commemorated by one of the murals that graces the wall of the West Seattle Post Office. This year was a little different, without the motorcycle drill teams but no less a happy occasion as commercial and community entries made their way from the Admiral District some 2.3 miles into the West Seattle Junction.
