Vintage hydroplanes return to Entiat and the Columbia River

ENTIAT — Vintage hydroplanes lined the Entiat City Park parking lot, each customized and tailored to an owner’s or driver’s preference. One by one, a crane lifted them high into the air and gently set them onto the water, similar to a toddler playing with a toy. 
Late in the morning Saturday, when the competition got underway, the boats announced their presence with their roaring engines as spectators watched from boats on the Columbia River, and the shoreline or the nearby sandbar, with a sense of excitement in the air.

Hydroplane races date back to the early 20th century and, over the weekend, returned to the Columbia River. Around 24 boats took place in the weekend races, each participating in two heats a day.
