The 22nd annual West Seattle 4th of July Kids Parade brought a number of families to the Admiral neighborhood this morning. Children and their parents began to assemble at the intersection of 44th and Sunset around 10 a.m.
Patriotic kids were on parade in West Seattle on the Fourth of July – decking their bicycle, tricycles, scooters, wagons and strollers in red, white and blue in honor of Independence Day.
Mayor Ed Murray was in attendance and helped lead the countdown, alongside Emily Williams, owner of the FIT4MOM West Seattle franchise.
Children marched for about a half a mile and ended up at Hamilton ViewPoint Park, where they continued the celebration, playing classic games including wheelbarrow races.
