Seafair is the Northwest's largest festival, and reaches over two million people each year. The festival hosts events throughout the summer including a Milk Carton Derby, the Seafair Triathlon, Fleet Week, and the Torchlight Parade. But the real fun of Seafair are the hydroplane races on Lake Washington and the Key Bank Air Show featuring the U.S. Navy Blue Angels.

For boaters, the best place to be is at the logboom on Lake Washington where you can enjoy summer weather and the excitement of the Unlimited Hydroplanes racing in front of you and the Blue Angels flying overhead. Boater's can purchase space from Saturday morning through Sunday evening at the Budweiser logboom by visiting the Seafair website.

If you plan to attend Seafair by boat, be sure to read the Coast Guard Notice to Seafair Boaters for important regulations and boating safety information.
