Extended Hours at Beach Club on 4th of July

The Beach Club will be open until 11pm on Sunday, the 4th of July, according to one of their recent mailings which says:

"The Beach Club will remain open until 11:00 PM on July 4th to accommodate fireworks viewing across the lake. Bellevue will commence their fireworks display at 10:05 PM and Kirkland at 10:15 PM.

Come join us for this fun and safe summer tradition. Please note that the water will close at the usual time."

One of our staffers went last year and said you can see the Eastside firework shows pretty well, as well as a show from Madison Park.

And if you want to see another show, stop by the Laurelhurst park for a great view of the Lake Union Fireworks at 10:15pm.

Also a reminder that the parking lot in front of the Beach Club is closed forcing everyone to park on the hill or beyond. Here is a post we did about this last month.

Last we checked with the Front Desk at the Beach Club and they said every picnic table has been reserved with a long waiting list.  So it should be a very busy day and evening.

During the week, the construction crew has been very good about helping people cross the streets and guiding them around the construction and large equipment by following the sidewalk around the sight to the entrance of the Club.

They also have been helping cars turnaround safely near the site since the turnaround area now is very small. Several no parking signs have been placed at the bottom of the hill designating a temporary drop-off area since pulling up right in front of the Club is no longer possible

One of our staffers said that a worker told him that construction is slated to end the third week of August, quite a delay from when the Board was told it would end a few days before the Club opened last month.  The worker said only one street is left to complete - Laurelcrest Lane.

Here are some pictures of the construction site right in front of the Beach Club entrance:
