  • it appears that the "teens" ruined the event for everyone.
  • 3pm start time... Why? BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE AFRAID TO GO TO SEATTLE AFTER DARK!!!!!
  • As an old seafair participant who experienced Seafiar parade activities and events for over 2 decades thru youth and a young adult. It's sad to see the kids affected by others (kids) wreckless behavior. Not long ago, it used to be,keep the grown-up stuff off the streets. This new generation has no boundaries. Smh! Stay safe...
  • Police aren't being transparent, a few girls in the drill team have boyfriends in gangs, and those arrested with guns last Sunday were part of that situation.
  • Hmm, traffic, no parking, homeless, arson, drug addiction. If you haven’t noticed the Pride parade and support for that community has co-opted many long standing local traditions. Why don’t supporters of that community support other communities. Come on down and share with everyone.
  • No, nobody “ruined” it for you. Take your happiness into your own hands. And you’re probably not telling the whole story.
  • @madwisdom4929
    Collective Punishment at its finest moment! You succeeded in instilling fear of one group.
  • @w6341
    No my naive girl... It was just your drill team.
  • @ScaryNda206
    democrat economy why u think theres less people... wake up everyone is broke
  • Oh my God crime is everywhere. Not where I live in the suburbs of Oklahoma where I listen to non-stop true crime podcasts and watch endless videos of shootings.
  • I HATE THE SEAFAIR! Buses can’t arrive FOR SHIT! Light rail was PACKED! Make Seattle boring!!
  • Police state and nanny state combine to make an event less fun for everyone.
