FetchNW Presents In Heat 2025 Volume 2
Y’all like the boat events so much, we booked a second one this year 🙂 Join us for a fall boat party where it’ll be a little bit cooler outside (hopefully) than the summer boat party. Join us again on The Hiyu for the fluffiest, squeakiest, most boatiest boat cruise in Seattle!
Be fluffy. Wag. Bark, squeak, and yowl. Do an awoo or a le squeak. Dance and stomp your paws. Local community DJs will be playing tunes all night. The Hiyu gives us a big outdoor deck with a beer and cider cart, two indoor bar lounges, a full sound system, lighting, and a food truck on the deck! Our changing space was a hit and it’s coming back too. Hang on the deck, chill by the bar, grab some food and drink and dance the night away. Don’t miss it!! Grab a ticket, your fursuits, hoods, catsuits, costumes, your friends, your friends friends, and come to have fun. More info on the venue: On the HIYU.
FetchNW is a 21+ event!!!

BOARDING ADDRESS: S. Lake Union Park 860 Terry Ave N, Seattle, WA 98109. The exact GPS Pin if you want that is https://maps.app.goo.gl/BXdYzowJ1s1CCMhR7 The checkin/reg desk will be near that pin.
DO NOT GO TO THE ADDRESS LISTED FOR THE HIYU ON GOOGLE MAPS – Please do not Google “The Hiyu” and go there. We have had people miss the boat before because they didn’t heed our warnings about this, did not go to the boarding address and instead went to the Hiyu’s docking address. Seriously double check before you go you are going to the correct address. We don’t want you to miss the boat.
GOLDEN PAW PERKS: Golden Paw gets a dedicated prioritized line to get on the boat. You don’t have to arrive before boarding to take advantage of this. Whenever you arrive and get checked in, you will be guided to your shorter line. You also get a fancier badge, lanyard, poster and free patch of your choice (specified at checkout).
FOOD AND DRINKS: There will be a food vendor on board. We are working with the Hiyu on a few new options, and will update here when we have the caterer finalized.
FAST BAR: We are working with the Hiyu to see if this will still be required like last year or not. We will update this section and share info as soon as we have it. If FastBar is required, it would not required to attend/enter the event, but then would be needed to purchase things on board.
EMT: The Hiyu will have a dedicated EMT on boat.
Dress Code: Our standard dress code policy applies. No exposed butts nor genitals are allowed, but please comes as you are otherwise. Fursuits, puppies, shiny creatures, gear, etc are all welcome.
The Vibe: If you haven’t been on the boat before, it lets us setup a mix of both dance energy and social energy. We will have two DJs playing, one on the main deck with higher energy dance music and one in one of the upstairs lounges with more chill music. The main deck has plenty of room for both dancing space and social mingling space. Seating is limited on the boat.
Changing Space: One of the side car lanes will be dedicated to luggage storage and changing. We will be setting up mesh cargo curtains on either side to mark it and provide a little wind coverage, and working with the Hiyu to make more open space there vs last event. We can’t cover nor block the water-facing side though. Please do not store your stuff nor change in the upstairs inside bar areas, they get packed enough already. There is no coat check.
Streaming: We will be streaming the lower deck main stage dance area to our Twitch channel. Other areas of the boat (side lane, upstairs, food area, etc) will not be streamed.
