Happy Syttende Mai!


Ballard is a very cool neighborhood… and I’ll let Wikipedia tell you ... Historically Ballard is the traditional center of Seattle's ethnically Scandinavian seafaring community, who were drawn to the area because of the salmon fishing opportunities.  …  Each year the community celebrates Norwegian Constitution Day on May 17 to commemorate the signing of the Norwegian Constitution.”

We went to the The Syttende Mai Parade!





I struck up a conversation with a nice Ballardite who told me that unicycling is a very common program in Seattle physical education programs. That's the Pacific Northwest for ya.
