So there you go- Memorial Weekend Parade most likely. Interesting that this is posted so close to Memorial Day now. Me again- 2nd photo down there is a sign in the window, “Memorial Day May 30th”.

The main building in the first photo says "Claremont Hotel". I searched for that and found the address: http://www.lostinseattle.com/LIS/building/claremonthotelbldg.html Then I looked near that address and you can see the build and its shorter neighbor to the north in this birds eye view (compare the windows in the shorter building to those in this birds eye view): http://maps.live.com/default.aspx?v=2&FORM=LMLTCP&cp=ry1y4k4t4g9m&style=b&lvl=2&tilt=-90&dir=0&alt=-1000&scene=3695585&phx=0&phy=0&phscl=1&ss=cat.1372~pg.1~sst.0&encType=1 The building is currently the Hotel Andra built in 1926 according to its website: http://www.hotelandra.com/hotelandra.aspx I'll keep digging...this is fun detective work ;) Alex Porter The parade is on 4th avenue near Virginia.
