Linking one generation to another in tradition, floats are decorated with thousands of fresh-cut daffodils, just like the daffodil flowers that have been grown in the Puyallup Valley for more than 80 years.

The 2015-2016 West Seattle Hi-Yu Teen Ambassadors will be guiding the float with red and white flags. The Teen Ambassadors are: Lily Trinneer, Callie McFadden, Alyssa White and Louis Quantrille. Their parents and other Hi-Yu members will also be walking with the float in the Tacoma and Puyallup daffodil parades.

The float has 2,000 daffodils on it. You can watch the parade on TV at 8:00 PM on Channel 16 KONG TV.
