Kirkland Independence Day Parade Reminder

The Kirkland parade is just a few days away and we hope to see you there.

Kirkland goes all out for veterans and always has treats, a pizza lunch and boutonnieres for all military members and veterans in the parade. Approximately 30,000 people line the parade route, which winds through the business section of this waterfront community, and they always make veterans feel welcome.

Members of the Seattle Base USSVI, with the newly refurbished submarine float, WWII Subvets, and members of the Silent Service Motorcycle club, including the Snorkel Schnauzer, will all be there.

We will muster near Heritage Hall, the large white two story building on the north side of the street, at the corner of Central Way and Market Street. We need to get the float in place before 10:15 and all members should be in place by 10:30. If you run into problems at any street barricades, just tell the police that you are marching in the parade.

DIRECTIONS: To get there, you take Exit 18 off of Hwy 405, head west toward Kirkland. This road turns into Central Street. 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 Children’s Parade starts at 11:30, followed by the main parade at noon.

See all of you on the 4th. You don’t want to miss the parade!
