Proudly Serving and Protecting

Seafair is proud to pay tribute to the men and women of the U.S. Navy and U.S. Coast Guard, welcoming them to the Seattle waterfront for Seafair Fleet Week presented by Boeing.
The arrival of the ships and sailors for Seafair is a tradition rooted in the formative years of the festival over 60 years ago. Over 5,000 sailors will disembark a half-dozen U.S. Navy, Coast Guard and Canadian vessels for a short liberty pass and the opportunity to take part in the high-speed Seafair action on Lake Washington.

The Fleet will make its entrance in Elliot Bay on Wednesday, August 4 between approximately 1:45 p.m. and 2 p.m, accompanied by the spray of the Seattle Fir Department boat and escorted by a U.S. Coast Guard helicopter.

Show your support of our military services by welcoming the fleet at restaurants, piers and open spaces along the Seattle waterfront at they parade through Elliot Bay.

Get involved with the Coast Guard!

If you are interested in becoming involved with the U.S. Coast Guard year-round, the new "Citizen's Action Network" (CAN) program might be for you! This program focuses on saving lives by joining local volunteer residents who live on waterfronts or have views of the water from their homes.
