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:
“The great events of life often leave one unmoved; they pass out of consciousness, and, when one thinks of them, become unreal. Even the scarlet flowers of passion seem to grow in the same meadow as the poppies of oblivion.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“A curious thing about atrocity stories is that they mirror, instead of the events they purport to describe, the extent of the hatred of the people that tell them.
Still, you can’t listen unmoved to tales of misery and murder.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
“Turn where we may, within, around, the voice of great events is proclaiming to us, Reform, that you may preserve!”
—Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800–1859)
