2009 Miss Jr. West Seattle Hi-Yu Candidate Information coming soon.
|
Hi-Yu is a non-profit organization, established in 1934 by West Seattle's service clubs to produce a summer festival to promote the West Seattle Community.
The annual Hi-Yu Summer Festival is held throughout the month of July. Dozens of events occur all around West Seattle during
this time. The kick-off event is the Seattle Seafair Pirates Landing at Alki Beach, and it finishes at the end of the month with
the Miss West Seattle Hi-Yu Scholarship Program and the Seafair Torchlight Parade. Named in 1934 (16 years prior to Seafair), in a community contest,
Hi-Yu means "much, plenty, abundance" in native Chinook jargon.
(See this site for more information on the Chinook Indian culture)
The next scheduled Hi-Yu meeting is Monday, July 06, 2009 @ 6:30pm, at Merrill Gardens on 35th.
Take a look at some Hi-Yu history through the artwork of the venerable Hi-Yu Buttons.
