I-90 Bridge
For 2019, a new flight path will allow the Blue Angels to soar over the Bellevue/Seattle area during the 2019 Seafair Air Show without closing the Interstate 90 floating bridge. In the past, the Washington State Department of Transportation has been required to close the bridge by the Federal Aviation Administration to keep the public safe and minimize distractions. This year's flight path eliminates the need for a closure.
