Well, it looks like a lovely, rainy Father’s Day weekend in Greater Seattle land. Which may be a bit of a bummer, but we Northwesterners know how to cope.
So, looking for some reason to brave the rain and depart the abode? I have a few suggestions. Oh, and let me clear, this isn’t even close to all inclusive.
- The Edmonds Arts Festival: this is currently in process (started this morning) and runs the entire weekend. Many events and performances on top of a ton of booths. Tomorrow you can leverage the Edmonds Farmers Market and build a full day of it.
- Looking for a unique gift for Dad? Just need to find something for the house? In Lynnwood, Trinity Lutheran Church has their Junktique on the 13th and 14th.
- Want to stay indoors? Well, you can head to the Seattle Center. Tons of stuff going on. And there’s a wide array of food choices in the Armory to make things interesting.
- Another indoor opportunity without heading into the City: the Hibulb Cultural Center is free for dads on Sunday.
- Here’s a fun and unique idea from the Historic Flight Foundation at Paine Field: “In honor of all fathers, Historical Flight will offer member rides to fathers at one-half price with the purchase of a regular membership by an appreciative relative.”
- Everett’s Imagine Children’s Museum has free admission for dads
- Don’t forget Puget Sound area staples:
- Take a walk-on ferry trip
- Hit the Everett or Fremont Farmer’s markets
There isn’t any reason to stay home (well, unless you want to). Don your rain garb and get out!
