A big thank you to all of the boaters who made the 3rd Annual Parade of Boats Night a night we will never forget! The Parade was truly amazing and we could not have done it without you! All of the hard work and effort that went into decorating the vessels did not go unnoticed. To the community that gathered onshore at the official viewing party along Fremont Cut, thank you for joining us and supporting this event. Thank you to WARM 106.9 and KING 5 Evening who helped spread the holiday cheer. And a special thank you to the 53 boats who registered to participate and to the 39 boats who donated, helping us raise an additional $1,356 for the Seattle Times Fund For The Needy. You are awesome and this event would not be the success that it is without your support!
We can't wait until this year's parade (only 337 days away), and you bet we're hoping to increase the donation this year!
