With a little more than a week before Seafair starts south-end style (think Hydroplane Race, Air Show & Fireworks at Stan Sayres and Genesee Park on Lake Washington), the big build has begun and a cadre of people are working diligently to secure the otherwise public parks from the unpaid.

The Saturday Night Seafair Concert, Fireworks and Nighttime Air Show takes place at Genesee Park on Sat., Aug. 1, from 6:45 to 10 pm. Tickets are $10 and available here.

The Chevrolet Cup at Seafair runs Fri., July 31 through Sun., Aug. 2, on the south side of Lake Washington, Stan Sayres Pits. Tickets for reserved grandstand seats are $20 for Friday, $40 Saturday, $40 Sunday or general admission for $25 either Saturday or Sunday. Add a single-day pit pass for $10. More info.

Not content slumming it with the rest of us? No problem! For the low, low price of just $90 a day (that’s “a” day as in “one” – Saturday OR Sunday – double the cost for both days) the Seafair Machine offers The Oasis – an “exclusive beachfront area nestled at the south end of the park at the Chevrolet Cup and KeyBank Air Show– right in the thick of the high-speed action” (read: Booze aplenty and no kids allowed).

And if all that seems like chump change, go for the logboom! It’s filling fast, but – as of 9 am Wednesday – there were still spots available starting at $325. More info. Photos/do communications, inc.

Is there a payment plan for the $90 option? :)

Last year the log boom was filled with a bunch of yachts and not the regular folks in smaller boats, are they pricing them out too?

$60.00 to $70.00 per foot of boat, WOW!

I hope this hick-and-fratty fest brings in enough money to the city to account for all the litter left in and about the lake. There is always a ton of crap floating on the water after it is all over. Though this probably gets cleaned up, I can only imagine how much crap sank to the bottom of the lake. There’s got to be a garbage reef down there by now.
