What’s on this weekend

This weekend is the culmination of Seafair, which means most of the city will flock to Lake Washington to watch the Blue Angels as they work their aerobatic magic in the air. The bulk of the festivities will happen in and around Genesee Park. Keep in mind that I-90 bridge will be closed on Saturday and Sunday from 12:55 to 2:40 pm for the Blue Angels air show.
