Events
With an active membership of over 500 power and sail boaters, the Queen City Yacht Club offers its members a myriad of activities, including social functions and participation in community events.
It is recognized nation-wide as one of the premier predicted log racing clubs, with extensive NAI, Barusch Cup, and Pacific Northwest IPBA championships to its credit.
The club originated Seattle's Lighted Boat Parade in 1941 and each holiday season since has hosted the event, drawing hundreds of lighted boats from around Lake Washington and Puget Sound. Its membership also participates in the Seafair Special People's Cruise, offering joy and happiness to the Special People of Puget Sound. Each May, the club is very active with the Opening Day of Boating Season festivities in Seattle, hosting hundreds of boaters from other clubs around Puget Sound.

Famous quotes containing the word events:
“That’s the great danger of sectarian opinions, they always accept the formulas of past events as useful for the measurement of future events and they never are, if you have high standards of accuracy.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
“Genius is present in every age, but the men carrying it within them remain benumbed unless extraordinary events occur to heat up and melt the mass so that it flows forth.”
—Denis Diderot (1713–1784)
“The geometry of landscape and situation seems to create its own systems of time, the sense of a dynamic element which is cinematising the events of the canvas, translating a posture or ceremony into dynamic terms. The greatest movie of the 20th century is the Mona Lisa, just as the greatest novel is Gray’s Anatomy.”
—J.G. (James Graham)
