Seattle Hempfest is an annual event in Seattle, Washington, the world's largest annual gathering demanding legalization of marijuana for uses including but not limited to medicinal, industrial, and recreational. Founded in 1991 as the Washington Hemp Expo, a self-described "humble gathering of stoners" attended by only 500 people, it has grown into a 2-day annual event with attendance typically over 100,000. As of 2005 speakers have included Seattle city council member Nick Licata, actor/activist Woody Harrelson, travel writer and TV host Rick Steves, and former Dallas Cowboys center Mark Stepnoski. Hempfest has also in recent years attracted such well-known performers as Fishbone, The Kottonmouth Kings, and Rehab to its five stages spread throughout Myrtle Edwards Park and Elliott Bay Park, on Seattle's waterfront.
