Seafair is back in Seattle, and with it comes the high-flying antics of the Blue Angels! This year, fans are buzzing with excitement, but there’s a storm brewing above. A woman, Lauren Ann Lombardi, has launched a lawsuit, claiming that the noise from the Blue Angels has caused her elderly cat severe distress, ultimately leading to its euthanasia. Talk about some serious cat-astrophe!
While protests are growing louder, Seafair CEO Emily Cantrell is standing firm amidst the uproar, declaring that the show will go on as scheduled. KIRO host Jake Skorheim isn’t shy about his enthusiasm, despite the backlash. He’s all in on the Blue Angels—guess he didn’t notice the uproar happening outside. In a world where everyone’s a critic, it’s refreshingly bold to keep aiming for the stars!
So, whether you’re ready to cheer as they zoom overhead or planning to join the protest against the noise, it’s clear that this year’s Seafair will be anything but dull. Will the angelic sounds of jet engines drown out the voices of concern? All this drama has us wondering—how far should cities go to accommodate our furry friends?
