There’s something almost primal about the ocean. It’s where we all came from as a species. It’s what all our ancestors crossed to come to America. And it’s how many people make their living to this day. Water and boats are of huge interest to many people.
If this bit of introspection has you nodding along, then you’ll want to check out an upcoming event that puts a spotlight on boats.
Event Details
At the CenturyLink Field Event Center, the Seattle Boat Show will be displaying some of the finest shipping boats in the world. With all of the luxurious boats in one place, you can get an inside/outside view of many different crafts. Plus, you can get a chance to meet up with some of the private owners, who will also be checking the show as well. You can make new friends as well as meet up with the familiar people from the Northwest Marine Trade Association, who efficiently produced this show.
