Washington’s Ultimate Summer Spectacle 75 Years of Seafair
It's here again—the most fun week all summer, or at least so I am told. It's the 75th anniversary of Seafair and Fleet Week. This is an event I have had on my list of wanting to go to way before I ever moved up here to the PNW for a couple of reasons, but the number one reason has to be the Blue Angels. Boy howdy, talk about an amazing display. I unfortunately can't make it this year, but here is a little something I put together for you to make sure you have all the info.
