King County: Seafair is back! With the return of Seafair these next four days multiple law enforcement agencies will take to the water to insure the safety of those that hit the water to enjoy this great tradition. The Blue Angels are back!
Multiple local agencies will be patrolling Lake Washington to make sure everyone is celebrating in a safe manner. Officers, Deputies and Troopers will be looking for boats being operated in an unsafe manner and strictly enforcing the Boating Under the Influence (BUI) law. The Mobile Impaired Driving Unit will be set up to process any arrested for investigation of BUI.
The Washington State Patrol (WSP) wants to stress to those using I-90 during the airshow to be attentive and not distracted as the bridge will remain open. It is NOT legal to stop on the bridge to watch the show and extra troopers will be in the area monitoring to insure the safety of all traveling on the bridge.
After missing Seafair 2020 and 2021 this will be a fun and exciting next few days. Make good choices on and off the water and enjoy!
