Reminder: Kirkland Independence Day Parade

We are only a couple days away from the Kirkland Independence Day parade on July 4. 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.

Seattle Base will have our float plus the Silent Service Motorcycle Club riders will be there, so it promises to be a great time for all. 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. All members should be in place by 10:00. If you run into problems at any street barricades, just tell the police that you are marching in the parade.

The Children’s Parade starts at 11:30, followed by the main parade at noon.

To get there, you take Exit 18 off of Hwy 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.
