SEATTLE, WA - Hundreds gathered Saturday afternoon along 4th Avenue in downtown Seattle to watch the Irish Heritage Club's annual St. Patrick's Day parade. The event featured everything from swashbuckling Seafair pirates to Attorney General Bob Ferguson.

The local Irish Setter and the Irish Wolfhound clubs brought fine examples of Irish breeds - and a few honorary labs and other dogs of course snuck in.


The parade would not be complete without at least one Irish Princess.
