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.

—Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)

—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
“Most events recorded in history are more remarkable than important, like eclipses of the sun and moon, by which all are attracted, but whose effects no one takes the trouble to calculate.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
