Heres the 2022 schedule for Blue Angels soaring and roaring over Seattle UPDATE

The U. S. Navy Blue Angels will perform at Seattle's Seafair festival from August 4 to 7, 2022, marking their return after a three-year absence due to the pandemic. The squadron will showcase its Boeing F/A-18 Super Hornet jets, which each have a price tag of approximately $69 million. The event will feature a comprehensive schedule of practice flights and performances, including appearances by the Golden Knights and F35 Lightning II.

However, the excitement of Seafair contrasts sharply with local crime issues, as Seattle Police investigate a homicide linked to an assault at a Hubbell Place encampment. This incident highlights ongoing safety concerns within the community. Additionally, artist Jesse Higman is working on a project to foster community ties, funded by an Arts In Parks grant. His initiative aims to restore the sense of inclusion that has diminished in the Capitol Hill neighborhood over the past two years. The combination of celebration and community challenges illustrates the complex social landscape of Seattle.
