		Seafair's grand parade featured lavish floats and a whole cast of royalty led by King Neptune, who in 1952 was portrayed by civic leader E.L. Blaine Jr.
		Seafair thrived in the wake of the hydroplanes, surviving because the community supported its commitment to Seattle and to family fun.

	Seafair: The Seafair Time Warp (Seattle Weekly)

		But if Seafair were to be created anew, a host of facets now taken for granted in liberal Seattle would never pass musterfrom leering pirates and beauty pageants to the monthlong celebrations of militarism and alcohol.
