Duff McKagan, of Guns N’ Roses and Velvet Revolver fame, Seattle native, ESPN writer, and uncle of UW offensive lineman Dexter Charles, was named Grand Marshal of this year’s Seafair Torchlight Parade. Seafair is a huge deal in Seattle, made complete by hydroplane races on Lake Washington, the stunts of the Blue Angels U.S. Navy Flight Team, and the aforementioned Seafair parade. The UW Football Team is excited to see a huge Husky fan at the helm of Seattle’s marquee festival.
