Come visit the tent of the U-37, Miss Beacon Plumbing and see a model of the winning boat of the 2006 Chevrolet Cup at Seafair.  The Seafair Pirates have declared this “their” ship and they’ll be back to defend her at the Hydroplane races this August.

If ye dare, you can try out the inflatable rides for the kids from Clown’s Unlimited.  Ye can play all day for just $6 or two kids for $10.

Hi-Yu is a non-profit organization, established in 1934 by West Seattle's service clubs to produce a summer festival to promote the West Seattle Community.

The annual Hi-Yu Summer Festival is held the third week of July. Dozens of events occur throughout the neighborhood during this week. The kick-off event is the Seattle Seafair Pirates Landing at Alki Beach, and it finishes over a week later with the Miss West Seattle Hi-Yu Scholarship Program. Named in 1934, in a community contest, Hi-Yu means "Big Time" in Chinook jargon.
