A little rain does nothing to deter Seattleites from enjoying their holidays, and this 4th of July was no exception. The crowds amassed at Gasworks Park to fly kites, people watch and look at the big blow-up Statue of Liberty head. Despite the crappy weather, the fireworks were quite a spectacle – and here’s what folks did while they waited for the big show.Photos by Matthew Williams.Published on July 5, 2010
