Watch the Seafair Pirates storm Alki beach Saturday.

The event kicked off of Seafair's "celebrating 60 years of summer" season of festivals, parades and other community events, many featuring appearances by the pirates, who have been swashbuckling since 1949.

Seafair's other traditional opening event, the Milk Carton Derby, took place at Green Lake Saturday, with nearly 100 watercraft competing for prizes for speed or style.
