The largest boat show on the west coast (when the indoor and outdoor
venues are combined) has been officially bumped by the best football
team in the NFC. The Seattle Seahawks are in the playoffs, (who'd a
thunk it?) and will be using Qwest Field for post season play in
mid-January.

Originally scheduled for January 13-22, the Seattle Boat Show dates are
now January 6-14.
The show will absolutely begin on January 6, but may be forced to
conclude at the close of business on Friday, January 13 if the NFL
schedules a playoff game for Saturday, January 14.

The floating portion of the event, the Lake Union Boats Afloat Show,
will continue through the entire weekend of January 14-15 without
possible amendment for football playoff activity.

(Go Seahawks! My son and I will be at the Seahawks/Colts game on
Saturday. Whoever would have imagined, when we bought the tickets last
summer, that this *might* be a preview of the Superbowl? Still a lot of
football to play, but could this finally be the year of the Seahawk?)
