About The Experience

IMPORTANT: This a premium experience that requires ticket purchase for entry.

Secure one of the best spots on the shores of Lake Washington.

The Deck at Seafair Weekend is an upgraded option for people who desire a Log Boom’ish yet VIP Seafair experience on land. Music, energy and excitement will help set the tone for an unforgettable Seafair experience.

Feel the rush as you witness the speed of hydroplanes on the south side of Lake Washington and the awe-inspiring precision of the US Navy Blue Angels above you in the sky. Nestled between the Skybox Corporate Suites, Seafair Sponsor VIP, The Grandstands, and the Hydroplane Pits, you will be in the heart of the action and elevated above the crowds.
