What A Great Week Here In the Northwest!

Exciting couple of weeks here in the Seattle area as we celebrated Seafair. The U.S. Navy, USMC, Royal Canadian Navy and Blue Angels were here for Fleet Week. The unlimited hydroplanes were racing on Lake Washington, and the top guns of NHRA were racing in Kent at Pacific Raceways at the Northwest Nationals. Exciting stuff! – Roger
