SEATTLE — Since 1950, Seafair has hosted Fleet Week on the Seattle waterfront, where the public can tour impressive military ships.
The festivities started on Tuesday when Navy Destroyer USS Barry and ships from the U.S. Coast Guard and Royal Canadian Navy arrived in Elliott Bay for the majestic Parade of Ships.
Free ship tours are available at Pier 46 South now through Sunday, Aug. 6. There will also be Navy and Coast Guard search and rescue helicopters, exhibits, food trucks and more.
KIRO 7′s Briseida Holguin went onboard USS Barry Thursday morning.
Seafair is in full swing!
