The Seafair Pirates are coming.
A sign (or rather signs) of the impending Pirate's Landing? A truck from Supergraphics was out on Alki Avenue Monday night, June 28 putting up 33 signs announcing the July 10 event on the light poles along the street.
The company also does a lot of signage and vinyl wraps for "cars, trains, planes and we do all the banners downtown," John from the company said. He runs the controls and Jeremy is in the "bucket" attaching the banners. After the event they take down the banners and the hardware "as if it was never there."

The West Seattle Kiwanis will be at the landing event on the 10th and urge you to stop by and pick up a free kids pirate hat and join in the costume contest.
In a related story, the Seafair Pirates still need your help to be financially solvent. They lost their sponsor so Dukes Restaurant is behind the effort to help them stay afloat. You can donate either at any Dukes Chowder House or through this link
