“We’ve been displaying at the Seattle Boat Show for over 60 years and I have watched it grow into the largest celebration of boating in the Northwest. No other event in the region draws such a large and diverse group of boating enthusiasts.
It is the best opportunity to promote your business, meet customers and network with other marine professionals in the Northwest.”
