Crazy Fun for the Little One

Crazy Fun for the Little One...

Spring Break is coming, and that means it’s going to get real noisy on the home front for parents. Carefree non-parents, you’re going to see a lot more of the tiny people, a.k.a, children, out and about in public. But don’t worry, we have a solution. Well, actually, Seattle Center has a solution. From now until April 21, they’re hosting Whirligig, a collection of super-sized inflatable rides for kids...

Jamfest: It ends tonight

Jamfest: It ends tonight...

It’s a shame I don’t visit the ID more often. I love it there. Usually when I go it’s just for festivals or a cheap foot massage or to snag yummy candies at Uwayimaya, but now that cheap foot massages are everywhere (re: way closer to me), festivals are a dime a dozen, and QFC started carrying those candies my reasonings to head (all the way) to the ID have dwindled.

Ice Cream in Maple Leaf: YES!

Ice Cream in Maple Leaf: YES!...

I don’t venture off to Maple Leaf that often, but I do love a community that actually comes together—if even for once a year, when it’s nice out, hopefully. Photo courtesy of AngMoo Even if you’re not a Maple Leaf resident maybe their Summer Ice Cream Social will inspire you to do something for your neighborhood. I love that everyone is invited today from 6:30-8:30pm to come out to the Maple Leaf Playground and meet...

Too much Wednesday: Another round-up!

Too much Wednesday: Another round-up!...

First I was going to tell you guys all about Kelly O’Briens fabulous Bingo nights happening every Wednesday. But then I got sidetracked… Photo courtesy of Laura Crowell. Because holy crap, Taylor Shellfish is having a fun hump day Shellfish-estival! Today! In Bow! It’s like all my favorite things wrapped up and ready–just for me. Curse you...

Seafair is here! Seafair is here!

Seafair is here! Seafair is here!...

When it comes to Seafair you’re either in 2 camps. The lovers or the hater who hates beyond belief so much so that you have to complain about it constantly at work, every single time a Blue Angel flies overhead during the week. I’m of the loving camp, and I’m actually kinda bummed that I’ll be camping instead of loving the airplanes fly super low over your heads. It’s all so exciting! Photo courtesy of Seafair. So...

Weekend Round-Up: July 13-15...

If you are trying to hide this weekend, I hate to break it to you, but you can’t. Not with so much going on. Seriously, it’s like summer puked all over this weekend with fun, shiny unicorns and fairs and music and food and who knows what else. So I won’t take up any more of your time. Let’s get to the weekend, shall we: -Try to divert your eyes when you see that McD’s is promoting Dragon Fest 2012 in the...

Hip hop hooray ho: Sounds of Summer Concert Series

Hip hop hooray ho: Sounds of Summer Concert Series...

It’s that time of year again. Where every single day to jam packed with awesome outdoorsy free events for everyone to enjoy. People are officially out of their caves (and winter coats) and really starting to enjoy the 2 sun-filled months ahead. I, for one, couldn’t be happier. Photo courtesy of Sounds of Summer Concert Series That said, the Sounds of Summer Concert Series will fit right into your ‘catching up on...

Northwest Folklife Festival: AKA, my favorite festival in Seattle

Northwest Folklife Festival: AKA, my favorite fest...

I’m sure I probably said that other festivals were the bee’s knees, but I was wrong because the NW Folklife Festival is obviously the winner of the chicken dinner. It’s so relaxed. The music is inviting no matter what you’re into. And best of all, it’s FREE!   This year, NW Folklife takes place, like in years’ past, right when Sasquatch happens at The Gorge. Honestly, this makes the festival even better. All...

Weekend Round-Up: 5/18-5/20

Weekend Round-Up: 5/18-5/20...

Do you even know how much self-control it is taking me to not be all, “SUN! TANS! WARMTH! CAPITAL LETTERS! EXCLAMATION POINTS!!!”? Because those are the words that have been floating around my head this week. It’s been so lovely outside. One of my favorite things about Seattle is how friendly we all get when the sun comes out. On a cloudy, rainy day, you might shyly smile at someone on a street corner while...

The day that’ll beat all other days: 17th of May Festival

The day that’ll beat all other days: 17th of...

Oh man, I totally wrote an amazing post about my favorite festival in Ballard and now I just realized that I left it on my other computer which I can’t get to. Man. So what does it mean for you? Only that you’ll get a slightly different, possibly less awesome version of an ode to Syttende Mai (pronounced Soot-n-duh My). photo courtesy of www.BallardNewsTribune.com With over 20,000 people filling in the streets at...
