Seattle Woman Sues Blue Angels Over Jet Noise That Claimed Her Cat and Instagram Ban

KING COUNTY, WASHINGTON, JUL 22 – Lauren Ann Lombardi claims Blue Angels jets worsened her cat's heart disease, leading to euthanasia, and alleges unconstitutional social media censorship, citing noise impact on 74,000 Puget Sound residents.

  • On July 21, Lauren Ann Lombardi filed a complaint in U.S. District Court, alleging the Blue Angels caused her cat's death and silenced her online criticism.
  • In August 2024, recurring sonic blasts triggered panic attacks in Layla, culminating in her euthanasia.
  • A study cited in the lawsuit found over 74,000 residents in Puget Sound exposed to harmful noise levels, and the complaint claims jet noise disrupts endangered orca populations.
  • Lombardi requests court-ordered First Amendment training for Navy social media personnel and reimbursement of her legal costs.
  • Ahead of their scheduled August 2025 demonstration, Lombardi’s petition seeks to prohibit future shows over Seattle.
