SUMMER S E A S O N O F C E L E B R A T I O N loved seeing the parade up-close," WAC Vice President Club Programs Melissa Borders says. "It's amazing how many WAC members have taken active roles in Seafair through the years. We've had everything from Seafair royalty to hydroplane drivers." As for the parade, WAC members can purchase VIP Grandstand seats, located near the Torchlight Parade start, or choose bleacher seats along the two-and-a-half- mile route. Longtime WAC member Nancy Gordon has attended the Torchlight Parade since childhood. "We used to get there hours and hours before the parade just to be able to stand on the curb," she recalls. "And you'd still kind of get jostled out of your spot."
