Billboards from insufferable, fringe activists cannot stop them Heres the 2025 Seattle Blue Angels schedule

The U. S. Navy's Blue Angels will return to Seattle for the Boeing Seafair Airshow, scheduled from July 29 to August 3, after a two-year absence due to the pandemic. The event will feature practice flights and performances, including the arrival of multiple Boeing F/A-18 Super Hornet jets and the C-130 Hercules "Fat Albert. " Environmental critics argue the airshow contributes around 650 metric tons of CO2 emissions, which they claim is concerning given the city's overall pollution levels.

The Blue Angels' fleet is worth over $700 million, and the program's budget fluctuates around $40 million annually. Despite these expenditures, the Navy faces a 25% shortfall in recruitment targets. Complaints about the military's display of power have not diminished the airshow's presence in Seattle. Local activists describe the event as military propaganda, which continues to provoke debate in the community. The juxtaposition of the airshow's costs and environmental impact against the Navy's recruitment issues highlights ongoing tensions surrounding military visibility in urban settings.
