Seattle should instill a regional holiday to celebrate the summer solstice, especially in light of recent weather happenings--snow in April, heating and winter coats necessary in June--a summer not yet arrived.
When you consider that the official summer solstice (officially 6/20) is the longest day of the year, that means we are creeping back toward shorter days when we haven't yet even cracked real summer weather.
I'll steer away from gloom and bleakness and report on the parade. According to the Fremont Arts Council, this is the 20th year of the parade. Always festive, fun and crowded, this year was no exception. The weather, while lacking sun, was humid and not cold. This year's parade wasn't as spectacular as in years' past...what with large gaps at times between acts or floats and not that many participants. Following are highlights. Enjoy!
