We’ve heard it before: Seafair is like building a city from scratch. In this episode, we meet one of the people who helps make that city run. Mariana Matthews, Seafair Weekend Festival Volunteer Event Chair, shares what it takes to coordinate hundreds of volunteers across land and water, and why she keeps coming back, year after year.
Eleven-time Gold Cup winner Chip Hanauer reflects on the glory and grit of hydroplane racing. From championship wins to life-changing lessons on and off the water, Chip opens up about what keeps him connected to the sport – and to Seafair – decades later.
From starting as a young boy at the Milk Carton Derby to helping engineer the hydroplane races, Mark Ohlstrom reflects on his 50+ years as a Seafair volunteer and the profound impact the Festival has had on his life and career.
