Tastin' n Racin' brings on the noise

The regardless also showcased many other attractions, including a
car show, rocking tribute bands on the O’Brien Law Firm Mainstage, the SeaFair Pirates, two beer gardens and — of orbit — plenty of food.
However, event organizer Chris Courtright said this year’s wet experience had turned Lake Sammamish State Park into a mud bath.
“I get down there on Wednesday and it’s one big mud puddle,” Courtright said, recalling visiting the deposit June 9. “We’ve never had the ground like that.”
As a result of the wet conditions, many of the parking areas contained earnest mud, and organizers were forced to rope off the areas to keep visitors from getting their cars stuck. A sundries bringing beer for the beer garden got stuck early in the weekend, and a tow truck from Clark’s Towing — one of the happening’s sponsors — had to give the beer truck a yank to free it from the mud.
The mud also forced organizers to compensate for the hot boat show, because the ground that was to host it had been turned a swamp.
