Washington Celebrates 250 with Community Spirit | Seattle News

Washington is celebrating its 250th anniversary with nationwide festivities—pie contests, parades, and especially the powerful tradition of reading the Declaration of Independence aloud, with a global reading set for July 8. Communities big and small are embracing inclusive, budget-friendly events, honoring unity despite today’s divisions. Some towns opt for fun, others for reflective discussions, all aiming to connect with history. And history buffs can catch the Freedom Plane National Tour at Seattle’s MOHAI museum from July 30 to August 16, featuring rare founding documents in a Boeing 737—echoing the 1976 tour.
