There's no better experience than being on the water, in the hot sun and feeling the spray of the Unlimited Hydroplanes as they circle the race course and the excitement as U.S. Navy Blue Angel jets fly directly overhead. For both long time and first time attendees the Logboom is an ideal location for a true, Seafair summer experience.
Q: How early in the week can I arrive at the logboom?
A: Boats can begin arriving as early as Wednesday night.
Q: Is the price for the whole weekend?
A: The logboom prices reserve boat space for Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Thursday is considered a free day, where any boat can tie to the logboom, and will be cleared out to make room for paying participants on Friday morning.
Q: Can I use a shuttle boat to transport people back and forth from the shore?
A: Shuttle boats are only allowed for boats in the broadside (red & black) sections. This policy was implemented to decrease boat traffic and safety hazards in the racing and logboom areas.
Q: Will I have the same spot on the logboom if I leave in the evening and come back the next morning?
A: There are no spaces reserved on the logboom. If a boat leaves at night, or during the day to transport people, the boat risks losing the spot in which it was tied. The spaces on the logboom are given out on a first come, first serve basis.
Q: When will I receive my credentials packet?
A: The logboom burgees and credentials packets will be mailed out during the week of July 19-23.
Q: Will I be able to pick-up people from the shore during the day?
A: All boats east of the buoy on Lake Washington will be cleared out to north of the I-90 bridge, and all boats tied to the logboom will be prohibited from moving during the air show each day.
Q: Where can I launch my boat?
A: Click here for a list of Lake Washington public boat launches.
