"Duff is a huge Seattle fan, he loves all things Seattle, including Seafair. He grew up enjoying the hydroplane races and coming to the Torchlight Parade," Seafair President Beth Knox said in a statement. "He's just a big advocate for all things Seattle. One of the things he's most excited about is being knighted by our Seafair Queen and King Neptune."
