Chinatown Seafair Parade

What better to do on a sunny Seattle evening than to attend yet another festival? This time, it's the Chinatown Seafair Parade brought to you by The Greater Seattle Chinese Chamber of Commerce. The Seattle Police Department's Motorcycle Unit started the parade off with synchronized motorcycle maneuvers.
