WATER FIGHT/FISTICUFFS AT END
The Trump Truck may have not had the biggest water fight at the parade – the Fraternal Order of the Eagles had an epic two-sided water battle with the same group of spectators, which was so well executed by both sides you would think it was pre-arranged in the name of good clean fun.
What the Trump Truck supporter did not mention in his letter was the heated exchange that occurred at the very end of the parade between it and the people on the Eagles float. Without getting into who started what (not 100% sure on that), it escalated to punches thrown and many nearby adults standing around doing nothing.
Because we walked the last bit of the parade with the Highline Bears, we listened to non-stop boos aimed at the Trump Truck ahead of us, and witnessed the epic water battle with the Eagles behind us. We also got to witness the Bears jump in and diffuse the end-of-route fight without taking sides.
Here’s video of the water fight with the Eagles:

  1. Notice: Objects being thrown are closer than they appear, and may result in severe injuries.
    Not cool! I am not a Trump supporter, however I do not condone deliberate violence by anyone!

  2. Great photo reporting, Isabel! You captured the fun really well, and showed a good cross section of our town.

  3. Discover Burien, The Parade Manager and the Parade Committee need to clean the disrespectful behavior that happened at this family parade, The rule is nothing is to be thrown out from trucks, cars and floats in the parade. Enforce the rule .So why were the Eagles shooting water at and throwing things at people along the street?
    Business owners in the city need to control and watch what is going on in front of their property and turn in out of control people to the police. And shame on adults and kids who acted disrespectful to the parade participants.Thanks to the good photos taken, we know who you are. Most Burien citizens are not ugly and mean like these photos show and would never act this this at a family event.
    And Isabel, thanks for your good photo work and reporting of the event.
