If this guy runs up toward you on the beach, you tend to make way. He's one of over a dozen Seafair Pirates who once again stormed the beach at Alki on June 25.
In true pirate tradition the Seafair Pirates stormed the beach at Alki on June 25, to the delight of thousands who came down to sunny Alki Beach for the annual event.
Landing at 1:30 the scurvey crew sang songs, made fierce faces, brandished their swords, and threw coins (their own) to kids. Plenty of people, not just kids, dressed up as pirates too as part of a costume contest. Food booths, music, and other concession stands lined the beach to keep people happy from 10am to 6pm.
Seattle's maritime festival now gets underway in earnest with events planned all summer long.
