Seattle Founders Day

Somewhere along the way, I walked into a time warp. The last normal thing I saw was the information booth for the 1st Annual Seattle Founders Day. The next thing I knew, people were walking around in full, period costumes in the long, hot day which peaked at 95 degrees.








Here is someone right now. The umbrella helps in so many ways.

















Here's Doc Maynard. No, not the actual Doc Maynard and not the establishment either.

















I got there in my contemporary clothing drinking an Italian Soda from Bedlam Coffee.












It's not even close to Halloween so you can imagine how the bar denizens just waking up might feel.











I'm not sure if they are supposed to be in period costumes or if they are just people off the street in Belltown.











And here are some Chinese dragon dancers. The Chinese have been around these parts for many generations. So these costumes go along way during festival season.
