On behalf of Bothell’s 4th of July Parade team, we would like to thank our outstanding citizen volunteers who worked tirelessly this year helping us make one of Washington state’s oldest parades a safe and successful event for our citizens to enjoy.

In total, 54 members from Bothell’s Evergreen Church volunteered and worked in our staging, children’s-parade, Main Street, State Route 527 and end-of-the-parade areas. Their enthusiasm and willingness to give back to our community is exactly what makes Bothell such a great place to work and live in.

Thank you for your service and your outstanding efforts this year. We look forward to working with you in the future.
