Not a fan of heat, Seattle?

I’m a pretty adaptable person, weather-wise. But Seattle’s temperate nature speaks deeply to me. I struggle with heat. Hate is too strong a word. But these temps approaching 90 are challenging to deal with.
How are handling the heat? Parked in front of a fan? Moving into a mall?
The Season TransformsÂ
Sun flows into through glass
Counting days for routine’s return
Crisp mornings, sunlight hidden
Shall transform into damp,
Gray tranquility
Summer’s Coming: What To Do?
School breaks close upon me, causing me to wonder: what shall we do with this gift? Trails to bike and hike, beaches to gaze out from, museums, festivals…so very much to consider.
This year I plan to, well, plan better. Instead of, in September, wondering about all the stuff undone. I’m starting a list, but am not sure what shall end up on it just yet. Here’s where my brain is now:
- The Hibulb Cultural Center on the Tulalip reservation. Nearby, yet I’ve never visited there.
- Seattle Center cultural events. Always something interesting going on.
- More hikes! Just some day hikes. More fleshing out needs to be done.
- Mountain bike trails. More research needed, but I’d like to include Steven’s Pass’ Bike Park and the Burlington bike park.
- I probably should plan to head to the San Juans…finally.
The basics of a start. We’ll have fun enriching this list. Let me know your ideas.
