Seafair

Today and Sunday were the final days of Seafair, a festival that concludes with hydroplane races and an airshow. My friend and co-worker Maggie invited me over to watch the festivities from their home, which has an incredible view of Lake Washington and the events.

Maggie and Dante's House

Their house is on the side of a hill - I'm at street level looking up.

Lake Washington View

As you can see, their view includes the hydroplane race area!

Setting up the Webcam

Some of our coworkers couldn't make it, so Maggie decided to setup the webcam and broadcast the races and airshow. Her husband Dante is looking on and laughing!

Hydroplane Races

Saturday was only qualification rounds, so the hydroplanes weren't going all out.

Blue Angels

The airshow highlight is Navy's Blue Angels - always a crowd pleaser. Since it was cloudy, they did a "low show" where most of the flybys were low and loud. They flew straight over head twice during the show!
