Once again, Olympia Washington held its annual Procession of the Species parade to honor Earth Day. The four elements (earth, wind, fire, water) were represented by fun and imaginative costumes, windsocks and streamers. Started in 1995 by a group of Olympia residents, the Procession was originally created to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Earth Day and to support Congressional renewal of the Endangered Species Act.

Taking place during Olympia's annual Spring Arts Walk, the Procession regularly draws 30,000 spectators and 2,000-3,000 participants. The celebration is completely noncommercial, made possible by community contributions of money, materials, time, and skills. The Procession is produced by Earthbound Productions, a 501 C-3 organization, and currently does not benefit from any public funding from the city of Olympia. Seven weeks before the Procession, a community art studio is established. This studio is open to the public and a minimal donation is requested, but no one is ever turned away for lack of funds.
