Evergreen State Fair 是沒有 Puyallup Fair 來得響亮. 不過倒有很多大大小小的折扣. 比如從特約商店(Bartell’s Drug)預購省 $2, 星期四十五歲以下小朋友免費, 或是八月二十八日的 $2 入園費(兩點前入園)等等. Evergreen State Fair 是從八月二十三日至九月三日. 從市中心搭 Sound Transit #510, #513 (Eastside #532) 至 Everett Station, 轉乘 Community Transit #270/271/275 至 Evergreen Fairground. Puyallup Fair 是從九月七日至九月二十三日. 可搭乘 Sound Transit 至 Tacoma Dome Station. 再轉乘 Pierce Transit 提供的 Fair 公車. 今年 Sound Transit 還特別提供從 Eastside 出發的 Fair 公車(只有平常日).

[img=images/20070804_F15_1.jpg popup=false] [img=images/20070804_F15_2.jpg popup=false] Future of Flight and Boeing Tour 這個週末來了參加 Seafair Air Show 四架 F-15 的飛機. 她們會一直停到星期一早上九點多. Seafair Air Show 前後期間, 都可以看見她們起飛, 降落和飛行的身影. 第一次親眼看到 F-15 降落, 她降落的聲音也是最奇怪的, 還有那種好像拉線的聲音. 更棒的是, 直接的在 Future of Flight 前停車場就可以免費的近距離看見她們. 聚集的人不多, 所以停車非常的方便.
