Damn, I sure wish I can get outside and see them, but I am stuck at work in Bellevue. I hear them all over the place and have been glued to the window to try and catch a glimpse!

Maybe I'll take a long lunch hour and try to get to I-90 to see some of the fly overs.

Who can see or hear them from their office or home? How far out are you?

Just got back from trying to see them on Mercer Island. It's a mad house over there! We alsmost got stuck in the worst of it, especially the traffic from the bridge closure.

But we were able to see the circle lake washington a few times before the stopped for a bit.

Haven't heard them yet since I returned.

I saw a couple flying around Lake Washington today... It caught me a bit off guard, thinking "gee, that doesn't sound like a 737!" According to the Official Blue Angels Website, the shows are Aug 7 & 8 (this weekend, yea! looks like you can see the real show Lig). The site, of course, has no details. Does anyone know the details?

Yeah, I'm new to the area... I guess the SEAFAIR is some kind of big deal around here. What is the best place to watch the races and/or airshows? It seems Genesee park is the official location, but I would assume you could see them from any number of parks on the shore (not to mention boats). Any boat owners out there?

Its just a bunch of drunk fools floating on Lake Washington. You can pretty much skip the festivities in favor of something more entertaining.
