2009 Rose Queen Rachel Seeman

The 2009 Portland Rose Festival Court includes 14 princesses, each representing an area school.

Last year, festival organizers made some changes to the court selection process – they broadened the court to include a student outside the regular participating high schools and princesses were selected by a judging panel instead of by each school's student body.
