Seattle Base and the Silent Service Motorcycle Club will be participating in the Kirkland parade on Saturday July 4, 2015. The City of Kirkland goes all out for veterans and always has treats, a pizza lunch, and boutonnieres for all military members and veterans in the parade. This year there will be special convertibles automobiles available for all World War 2 veterans so we will not have additional vehicles.

As usual, we will meet near Heritage Hall, the large white two-story building on the north side of the corner of Central Way and Market Street. The Seattle Base float will be in place around 9:30 and all members and motorcycles should be in place by 10:00.
To get to the assembly area from I-405, you take Exit 18 off of 405, head west toward Kirkland. This road turns into Central Way. Follow Central until you reach Market and turn right to find parking at Heritage Park. You’ll pass Heritage Hall while looking for parking.

The city will start closing down streets near the parade route around 9:30. If you are arriving after that time it is best to plan to enter the assembly area from the north heading south down Market Street.
The Children’s Parade starts at 11:30, followed by the main parade at noon.
We hope to see you there!
Remember, we will be returning to Kirkland on August 15 for the Tolling the Boats ceremony at the Kirkland Marina Pavilion.
