Labor Day Weekend in Olympia, WA is always the time when you can see vintage tugboats as well as active working ones at the annual Harbor Days event. This is a real celebration of the maritime tradition of Olympia, and my favorite part is Sunday's tugboat races! Bet you thought of tugboats as sort of slow and plodding kinds of boats, didn't you? You should see them race!
Many of the tugboats offer tours during the Harbor Days event, so be sure and check them out at Percival Landing in downtown Olympia. And speaking of Percival Landing, this will also be a great chance to come admire the transformation of the rebuild of the boardwalk (Phase 1).
There will be lots to see and do at the waterfront along Percival Landing and at Olympia's Port Plaza - and you can walk over to Farmer's Market for lunch or a snack, too. My all time favorite at Harbor Days is always a chance to see the vintage Sand Man tugboat, which is now basically a floating museum. Don't miss Olympia Harbor Days this Labor Day weekend!
