It's time once again for the capstone event to the month-long Seafair celebration: The Albert Lee Cup Hydroplane Race, happening Aug. 6-8.
This race features the fastest powerboats in the world. Whether on shore or on a boat in Lake Washington, the hydroplane races are fun for the entire family. Tickets are still available for reserved seating.

Tee time!
Fred Couples, Nick Price, Greg Norman and Tom Watson are all making an appearance on the Eastside this week for the 2010 U.S. Senior Open Championships at the Sahalee Country Club, running through Aug. 1.
We still have some rooms available if you have tickets to the event, including our golf package (includes overnight accommodations, spa discounts, a breakfast or Cosmos credit, late checkout and a tee time arranged by our hotel concierge—green fee not included.)
Below is our guide for watching the tournament.
Choose a Strategy
Do you want to follow your favorite player or do you want to camp out at a specific hole? Each has their advantages. If you’re a huge fan of a specific player and don’t want to miss a minute of his round, plan on walking. If you want to be comfortable and examine how all the different players approach a hole, stake out a spot on your favorite hole or grab a top-row bleacher seat to see multiple shots. Tricky par threes and second shots on shorter par fives are often good bets for exciting golf.
Come Prepared
Check the weather forecast and dress appropriately. If rain is in the forecast and you’re planning on watching multiple holes, think twice about bringing your umbrella. Instead bring your raingear, so you can squeeze up close to the ropes without an awkward, eye-poking accessory. Also, bring comfortable shoes (no spikes), sunscreen and binoculars. Chairs without arms and golf stools are permitted, but no lawn chairs.
Know the Etiquette
Leave the autographs and the golf chatter to the practice rounds. During the tournament, pay attention to volunteers and be quiet while players are taking their shots. Also, cell phones and cameras are prohibited, so leave them at home to save a trip back to the car. However, cameras are permitted on Monday through Wednesday.
Bring the Kids
All kids 17 and under may attend the championship for free when accompanied by an adult ticket holder. One adult may bring up to nine kids.
