Many Norwegians settled in Seattle's Ballard neighborhood, and the community has celebrated Norway's Constitution Day (May 17th, or Syttende Mai), since 1889. Thousands line Market Street for the annual parade.

Here, in 1988, two-year old Siri Molvik shows off her traditional dress during the celebration.
