One of Seafair’s most sought-after events has been the Blue Angels. Their twists and trick across the sky have been wowing Seattlelites for years. But during their performance Sunday, we also saw a sea of protestors.
Their list of grievances are include safety risks with their trick and low-flying moves, pollution, and excessive noise.
“We’re here to raise the consciousness of what the pollution effect is of the blue angels – noise wise and fuel wise, and the militarization of the event,” said protestor Will Alleckson. Alleckson told us that despite him being a veteran, he doesn’t believe that the Navy or any military organization should have a prominent role in the event.
The group of protestors said they are already looking to next year’s Seafair. They plan to return if the Blue Angels are invited back.
