The Greenwood-Phinney Chamber of Commerce is celebrating the community’s various talents this summer as it honors The Coats, a local a cappella group with a national reputation, as the grand marshals of the 60th annual Greenwood Seafair Parade July 28.

The theme for this year is Greenwood’s Got Talent, Celebrating 60 Super Summers.

“I think with The Coats leading off our parade, we can focus on some of the great talent in our community and let them show their stuff in the parade,” parade chair Ann Woodward said in a press release. “Getting out there and performing, whether it is singing, dancing, fitness training, playing an instrument, gardening or whatever, is an excellent ways to exercise your mind and body, have fun and stay healthy.”

The Coats started their career on the street corners of Seattle, which evolved into a full-time international performance career. They have won national vocal competitions.

The Greenwood Seafair Parade takes place from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. on July 28.

The parade, which is the oldest neighborhood Seafair-sanctioned parade in the region, runs south along Greenwood Avenue from North 95th Street to North 85th Street, then heads west to Sixth Avenue Northwest.

Thousands of people typically line the route. The parade features more than 90 entrants, including bands, drill teams, floats, pirates and more.
