The Kenmore Top 4: March 28, 2025

2025 Annual Hydroplane Cup Returns April 12
Get ready to hear the nostalgic sounds of hydroplanes in Kenmore on Saturday, April 12! The 2025 Kenmore Hydroplane Cup is free and open to the public for viewing, with opening ceremonies beginning at the Kenmore boat launch ramp at 10 a.m. and exhibition races running from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m.

This historic event has brought the community to the banks of the Sammamish “Slough” since 1938 and ended in 1976. It was brought back to life after local artist A. Gaul Culley collaborated closely with Seattle Outboard Association, Race Chairman Jan Shaw and boat racer Brent Hall to start the races again in recent years.
