I-90 Bridge
Since 2022, a new flight path allows the Blue Angels to soar over the Bellevue/Seattle area during the 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.
SR520 Bridge
The SR 520 bridge will remain open to vehicle traffic and tolls will be collected.
