Organizers of Seattle’s gay and lesbian event almost canceled it last year after being more than $100,000 in debt after they moved the parade and an accompanying festival out of Capitol Hill in 2006. Seattle Out and Proud, the nonprofit that runs the parade, says it will turn a profit from this year’s event.
