King County Executive Dow Constantine will be this year's Grand Marshal for the 82nd annual West Seattle Parade.

The parade is scheduled for Saturday July 18, 2015, at 11:00 AM. It will travel South on California Ave SW for 1.5 miles from SW Lander St through the Alaska Junction to SW Edmunds St.

Constantine said, “The West Seattle Parade has been a highlight of our family's summers my whole life. I’ve walked the parade as a Scout, marched in the school band, and appeared as both a candidate and as an elected official. This is the community that raised me, so being asked to serve as Grand Marshal of the parade means a lot to me personally.”

At this time the parade is scheduled to have over 80 entries, including parade floats, marching bands, and the only appearance of the Vancouver Police Motorcycle Drill Team, as well as the Seattle Police Motorcycle Drill Team.

The West Seattle Parade Committee is a community service committee of the West Seattle Rotary Club Service Foundation.
