The 4th of July is always a big event in north Seattle, with thousands descending on Gas Works Park for the annual fireworks display over Lake Union.
Seafair’s all-day Summer Fourth festival at Gas Works will start at noon with lawn games, live music, food trucks, and a beer garden. Fireworks start at 10:15pm.
The festivities are free, but there is reserved seating for the best fireworks-viewing areas — click here if you want to reserve a seat.
Remember that traffic and parking will be a bit messy in the evening hours — walk, bike, or bus if you want to avoid sitting in traffic.
King County Metro will be on a Sunday schedule with extra late-night buses, and some bus routes will be on revised routes during the festival, including the 26, 32, and 75.
Seattle needs to get with the program and stop these offensive displays of (white) nationalism.
