The Northwest Marine Trade Association’s 31st annual Lake Union Boats Afloat Show got underway this morning at 10am. Running from September 10th through September 14th, the Boats Afloat Show is the West Coast’s largest floating boat show, featuring over 260 yachts ranging in size from 20 to 143 feet. Last year, the show attracted over 10,000 boating enthusiasts from throughout the U.S. and Canada.
One of the highlights of the show this year is the presence of the Sea Star - the boat & crew that stars in the television series Deadliest Catch. You can tour the boat for only $1. The show also offers free activities for the kids - free sailboat rides are available throughout the day. In addition, the first 300 kids attending the show today received free life jackets from the Boeing Employees Credit Union.
If you would like to attend the Boats Afloat Show, visit www.BoatsAfloatShow.com to get your e-Ticket. Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for kids 12-18, and free for kids under 12. The show runs through Sunday and is open daily from 10am through 6pm.
I wish I was in Seattle for this!
