Seattle Tours
Some notes on wandering around Seattle and environs.Thursday, May 17, 2007
Takk for sist
My friend Stephen was in town from NYC. Our friend Lance's wife live and grew up in Ballard. We went to see the May 17 Norwegian Constitution Day parade in old Scandy town. This is a celebration that has taken place in the Seattle area annually since 1889. It commemorates the signing of the 1814 Norwegian constitution.
Flags and funny get-ups:
Viking ship: I was hoping to see more of these.
This guy has a big Norway flag and is driving some sort of vehicle used to move stuff around down at the waterfront. It has three wheels and can do some cool circly stuff.

Probably the most popular parade presentation was made by the librarians, who did choreographed-yet-chaotic maneuvers with their book carts. Not nordic in theme, i dont know, do librarians tend to be from Scandinavia? It would explain some things...
