It's almost that time of year when the booming of fighter jets tears across the sky and hydroplanes rip across Lake Washington. It's Seafair, and you'll most likely hear it even if you're not attending the festivities the first weekend in August.
Seafair events start in July with neighborhood celebrations (like the Seafair pirates landing on Alki beach in July, a Seafair triathlon, and the Alaskan Airlines Torchlight Parade) and culminate the weekend of Aug. 4—6 with demonstrations from the U.S. Navy Blue Angels and Hydroplane Races at Genesee Park.
