Lake Union Dragon Boats
April 26, 2020
It’s a little-known fact that Seattle has a handful of dragon boat clubs. When I discovered this, I dragged the kids down to Lake Union for the Dragon Boat Festival. It was a bit of a surreal experience, because this particular August morning felt more like Lunar New Year. It was wet and freezing. We stuck it out for a little while, but headed home with numb ears and fingers before really exploring the rest of the festival.
Lately, they haven’t been able to hold the festival because there is too much traffic on the lake in August. In the future, they are hoping to reschedule the dragon boat festival for another month. Maybe it will be warmer?
