Seattle’s 34th annual Pride Parade on Sunday, June 29, celebrated the end of national Pride Month. Both the parade and Pride Month recognize the gay, bisexual, lesbian and transgender community.
The Seattle Pride Parade faced controversy after moving to downtown Seattle from Capitol Hill in 2006 to accommodate more people and have a larger festival. In 2007, the Pride Parade risked cancellation due to a nearly $102,000 debt the move to Fourth Avenue. However, the Seattle Pride Parade — staffed entirely by volunteers and run by the nonprofit organization Seattle Out and Proud — expected to turn a profit this year, according to King5.
The Seattle Pride Parade is one of the largest gay, bisexual, lesbian and transgender events in the country, drawing an estimated 400,000 spectators from all walks of life, according to King5.
Starting at Fourth Avenue and Union Street, the two-and-a-half hour Pride Parade began at 11 a.m. and traveled along Fourth Avenue to Denny Way.
The event kicked off to a raucous start with a long-time parade favorite.
