Thank you, Seattle!

For more than 20 years, the Family 4th at Lake Union has been about uniting our community on our nation’s birthday for a unique day of commemoration. This year, however, was the most special, unifying year of all, because the event almost didn’t happen. Luckily the people of Seattle weren’t about to let anything stand between them and their fireworks celebration, so they stepped in to save the day. We can't begin to tell you how much we love this town!

It was an extraordinary event, and we truly hope you enjoyed the show that you made possible. Here is a listing of the 2010 fireworks score, dedicated especially to you!
