The Opening Day of boating season is officially two months from today. On May 1, 2010, hundreds of boats will make their way through the Ship Canal to the 90th annual Opening Day parade that goes through the Montlake Cut.
Before operating a boat (with 15 horsepower or greater) the Seattle Police Department wants to remind you to take the boater safety education course. The Boater Education Card is required for everyone born after January 1, 1955. Members of the SPD Harbor Patrol Unit will be conducting free classes at the Training Center (2203 Airport Way S, Building C, classroom 1) on the following dates:
* March 13, 2010 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.
* April 3, 2010 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.
* April 17, 2010 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.
* May 8, 2010 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.
* May 22, 2010 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.
