Fleet Week returns to Seafair

Fleet Week has been part of Seafair since 1950 as a way to honor the men and women who serve the United States.

Along the Seattle waterfront, ships from the U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Navy, and the Seattle Fire Department will parade around Elliott Bay before docking at Pier 46.

The parade across the water can be viewed from the Seattle waterfront, or listen live to the narration on 88.9 FM Longboom Radio.

Parade of Ships will start at approximately 1 p.m. and will be preceded by a Coast Guard Search and Rescue demonstration.

Tours of ships from the U.S. Navy and U.S. Coast Guard are offered; however, the names of all participating vessels will not be announced until their arrival per Navy policy.

Seafair noted that a government-issued Real ID is required to participate in a ship tour.

The U.S. Coast Guard base in Seattle is also open to the public from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., Thursday through Sunday.

There will also be exhibits provided by the U.S. Navy, Applied Physics Laboratory, Navy League, Puget Sound Navy Museum, and the U.S. Marine Corps.

The groups will bring artillery displays, military dog demonstrations, pugil stick simulators, and a Humvee display.

Food booths and opportunities to speak with sailors from the U.S. Coast Guard and Navy will also be provided.
