Dear <<First Name>>,
Throughout the past few weeks, Governor Inslee has been announcing progressively strict measures to curtail the spread of COVID-19. Based on the current guidelines, we must cancel all public gatherings and cruises aboard the ship until further notice. This includes the:
- March 20th, April 3rd and 17th, and May 1st: DRYFT Dockside Concerts
- April 10th: NW Seaport Chantey Sing
- May 2nd: Opening Day Cruise
We are hoping we can get back to normal operations later in May and will be closely monitoring updates from the authorities. Any cancelations will be posted on the events calendar on our website.
In the event that we must cancel an event for which you have purchased tickets on our website, we’ll contact you to see if we can rebook your ticket(s) for a future event, you would like to donate the cost of your ticket(s), or you would like to be issued a refund.
How you can help:
Please be aware that the COVID-19 restrictions on group events are having a very significant effect on our budget this year. A large proportion of our operating revenue comes from charters, dockside rentals and public ticketed cruises. School groups visiting the ship also contribute to our budget. Since so many programs have been canceled this spring, we are experiencing a serious cash flow crunch at present. We are asking that you, our community, help us keep afloat through these turbulent seas by making a generous donation. Please visit the donations page on our website for options.
Thank you for your help! Stay in touch and stay healthy!

Executive Director of the Steamer Virginia V Foundation
