After boarding their landlubbing vessel Moby Duck, the Seafair Pirates sailed away down Alki Avenue after a lively hour on the beach this afternoon. Though the landing is a decades-old tradition, some elements were new, including the mayor who surrendered the key to the city – Katie Wilson turned it over (while suggesting that came at a price – “You have to solve all the. city’s problems now!”)
The Pirates arrived in two groups, starting just after 1:30 pm. Lots of photos to come!
