NEXT EVENT: 5/10/2008 @ 12:00:00 PM - IRRIGATION FESTIVAL PARADE

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, May 26, 2008 @ 6:30pm, at TBD. Take a look at some Hi-Yu history through the artwork of the venerable Hi-Yu Buttons. 1985-1986 BUTTON DESIGN
