Be Lucky: Visit One of the Best St. Patrick's Day Parades in WA

This year, St. Patrick's Day falls on Tuesday, March 17th. I say we celebrate it all month long, that would give us plenty of time to do some bar crawls and more excuses to drink GREEN BEER! The best Irish celebrations here in Washington happen in Seattle, Bremerton, Vancouver, Spokane, and Bellingham.
