Seafair revelers gathered on Mercer Island Aug. 5-7 to watch the Blue Angels and enjoy the water, despite cooler weather.

The Blue Angels performed maneuvers including the “Sneak Pass” and the “Diamond Low-Break Cross” as spectators watched from sites like Slater Park, the Interstate 90 floating bridge and the log boom on Lake Washington.

Only five, not the usual six, jets took to the air, performing the low-ceiling version of their show due to cloud cover.
