You still have time to get downtown for the parade, according to Seattlest Kim, who is at Fourth and Pine waiting for the march to start in earnest. The advertised start time was 10 a.m., but according to her sources, the parading will commence at 11 a.m. At last count, Kim was one of eleven gathered at the intersection--"eleven and the mighty spirit of Dr. King," we reminded her. If you're not chained to your desk, make an enthusiastic sign, put on your most comfortable sneakers and join Kim downtown. It will be fun! UPDATE: The parade was canceled due to low turn-out....Seriously.

Cancelled...so that explains it. I walked on 4th from Bell to Pine and saw nothing until I got to Westlake. There was a sizable crowd, all of whom was likely confused about the lack of a parade. There were a few drill/dance troupes performing in Westlake, but I was hoping for marching bands.
How do they make a call like "low turn-out"?? It seems to me that once the parade was underway, there would be a fair amount joining the ranks on the streets, at least to see WTF was going on. Sad...
