The Opening Day parade first launched through the Montlake Cut in 1920 shortly after the Seattle Yacht Club moved to its new and current location in Portage Bay, Seattle. Spectators, friends and families lined both sides of the Montlake Cut to view the 25 or 30 boats as they paraded by, flying their dress flags. Racing boats finished the celebration with a regatta in Lake Washington sponsored by the Queen City Yacht Club. Seattle’s Opening Day Parade and Regatta has since become a spring Pacific Northwest tradition; it has survived the war years. It’s important to note Opening Day 1946, was the biggest and most festive ever, nationwide. Seattle boaters take full advantage of every Opening Day boating season launch.
