Thousands from Ballard to Bergen converged at Market Street to watch the annual Syttende Mai (May 17) Parade to celebrate Norwegian Constitution Day.
The hot Sunday afternoon sun attracted Norwegians sporting clothes and accessories that honor their flag and colors. You didn't have to be Norwegian to attend, of course, and some joked that even Swedes were allowed.
