The Tugboat Races are part of the Seattle Maritime Festival. That's an
annual event sponsored by the Propeller Club of Seattle, and the Port
of Seattle. They do a lousy job of promoting the event to the general
public, and most of the publicity seems to be directed to the
professional maritime community.

The Festival Administration this year was handled by Philips Publishing
Group, and you could phone them at 206-284-8285 and find out the dates
for next year's race.

There will be a tugboat race at the Harbor Days festival down in
Olympia this fall.
