Episode Details

Seafair is roaring back with 180,000 fans flooding Lake Washington and Genesee Park for its 77th year — a summer spectacle of hydroplane thrills, Blue Angels flyovers, and heartfelt memories. Families from across the country descend, some making their first splash like the Meister family from Maryland, others returning for decades like Sires Caesar honoring his late brother. Behind the roar, drivers like J. Michael Kelly — who grew up at Seafair and now races there — share deep personal ties to the event. Safety’s front and center this year: full gate control, weapons scanners, and 300 security personnel including Seattle PD patrols. It’s not just a race — it’s a tradition that keeps Seattle’s spirit alive, weekend after weekend.
