Drop those anchors, sailor. We’ve entered Seattle Fleet Week, a military + maritime celebration that leads up to Seafair’s high-flying weekend activities.
You may notice the famed Parade of Ships float through Elliott Bay Tuesday with really big vessels from the US Navy, Coast Guard, and Royal Canadian Navy.
Starting Wednesday, Aug. 2, you can even climb on board one of the boats from 9:30 a.m.-3 p.m. at the following locations and dates.
- Terminal 66 | Wednesday, Aug. 2-Thursday, Aug. 3
- Pier 69 | Thursday, Aug. 3-Sunday Aug. 6
- Pier 66 | Friday, Aug. 4-Sunday, Aug. 6
There will be free public tours of the ships, search and rescue demos, and food trucks along the pier.
If you’re looking for a good way to get around, look for the free waterfront shuttle, which can take you from site to site in a jiffy.
