Celebrating Community at the Wallingford Parade
For more than 70 years, the Wallingford Parade has brought neighbors together to celebrate the people, organizations, and traditions that make this Seattle neighborhood feel like home. What began as a small children’s parade has grown into one of Seattle’s longest-running community events, welcoming local businesses, schools, nonprofits, performers, and families for a day that celebrates everything Wallingford represents.
At Keller Williams Greater Seattle, participating in the parade is something we look forward to every year. Our market center has called Wallingford home for years, making this more than just another community event. It’s an opportunity to celebrate the neighborhood where we work, build relationships, and serve our clients every day.
A Wallingford Tradition That Brings People Together
The Wallingford Parade is organized by Celebrate Wallingford, a local nonprofit committed to preserving this beloved tradition while strengthening the neighborhood through community-focused initiatives.
Over the decades, the parade has evolved while staying true to what makes it special: bringing people together. Each year, residents line the streets alongside friends, neighbors, and local organizations to celebrate the unique character of Wallingford. It’s an event that generations of families have grown up attending, creating lasting memories and strengthening community connections along the way.
For us, it’s a reminder that neighborhoods are built by the people who invest in them every day.
Why KW Greater Seattle Shows Up
As a brokerage rooted in Wallingford, we believe being part of a community means more than helping people buy and sell homes. It means supporting local traditions, volunteering our time, and showing up for the events that bring neighbors together.
The Wallingford Parade gives our team an opportunity to connect with local families outside of real estate, celebrate alongside fellow businesses and organizations, and contribute to an event that reflects the spirit of the neighborhood we proudly call home.
Whether we’re walking in the parade, handing out candy along the route, or cheering on the participants, we’re grateful to be part of a tradition that continues to bring so many people together.
Investing in the Community We Call Home
Community involvement has always been part of our culture at KW Greater Seattle. We believe strong neighborhoods are built through connection, service, and relationships that extend well beyond the transaction.
Supporting events like the Wallingford Parade is one small way we invest in the community that has supported us for so many years. We’re proud to celebrate with our neighbors and help keep this longstanding tradition thriving for future generations.
Thank you to everyone who makes the Wallingford Parade possible each year!
