Seafair Families
Seafair Pirates
Every year Seattle celebrates Seafair and what would Seafair be without some pirates running loose. The Seafair Pirates helped start Seattle Seafair back in 1950. They have been raiding Seattle Seafair ever since but don’t worry it’s all for a good cause.
Despite their bad-guy image, the Pirates make dozens of appearances annually to hospitals and nursing homes. During the height of Seattle’s SEAFAIR Celebration, they appear at several events and parades each day.
The 40+ Pirates are an elite troupe who carefully selects their members based on their ability to mix well with the public and for their unique musical or theatrical talents. The Pirates come from many professions and are tested for a year to ensure that they can deal safely and entertainingly with the public.
