Imagine the Northwest Asian Weekly’s newspaper fashion contest models soaked in rain during the Seafair Chinatown Parade, and the audience treating us like a laughing stock. It could have happened to us if it rained.

Thank God that the weather forecast was predicted incorrectly yet again. The sun emerged late at 6 p.m. The parade started promptly at 7 p.m.

Fortune smiled on the International District for two consecutive Sundays with great weather for Dragon Fest last week and the Chinatown Seafair Parade this week. (end)
