Woodin Staff Parade
Dear Wildcat Community,
The teachers and staff at Woodin love and miss you, and can't wait to wave hello to you through our Woodin Staff Car Parade on Wednesday, June 10!
Please see the map below for the parade route and estimated times for when we will be driving through your neighborhood. Please note that these times are our best estimate and we may be a few minutes earlier or later than planned.
We encourage you to find a safe spot along the route, but we ask that families follow CDC social distancing guidelines, and keep an eye on their children, as these streets can be busy with fast moving traffic.
*** For families that live in The Retreat, we will be driving through the round-a-bout and complex.
***For families that do not live in neighborhoods along the bus routes, please come watch the parade by finding a spot to park in the parking lot by Smart Foodservice/Dandy Dogs (behind the 24 Hour Fitness) at 18404 120th Ave NE, Bothell. Woodin Staff will be driving through the parking lot starting from the entrance to the Starbucks drive-thru heading through the lot past Dandy Dogs and back onto 120th. Please stay in your cars in the parking lot and maintain good social distancing along the route. We should be in this area at approximately 3:45pm.
The Retreat
*** For families that live in The Retreat, we will be driving through the round-a-bout and complex.
