ABOUT SEAFAIR CHARITABLE FOUNDATION Since 1950, nothing has been more synonymous with summer in Seattle than Seafair. Before the Seahawks and Mariners called Seattle home, before the 1962 World’s Fair gave us the iconic Space Needle, Seattle celebrated Seafair. Today, the 501(c)(3) non-profit organization has grown into a multi week festival with events across the Puget Sound touching more than two million people. Times may have changed since its inception, but Seafair remains dedicated to being a community- and volunteer driven festival and a catalyst for creating experiences that celebrate the best parts of living in the Emerald City.
