Experiencing Spring in Seattle.
March 17, 2009
The snow this weekend was pretty darn incredible. My family and I live in the "Puget Sound convergence zone" so our weather is sort of its own micro-climate - often experiencing what I consider strange weather events. And this Sunday was no different - somehow, snowflakes combined as they were falling from the sky to create these sort of massive "super" snowflakes. There were some snowflakes that were - NO JOKE - the size of small salad plates.
But we soldier on into spring. By my calender, the first day of spring is only 4 days away (March 21). Here's some great ways to enjoy spring in Seattle! (But don't forget your umbrella!)
Spring in Seattle is a great time to get geared up for summer by learning to swim - our very own Angie helps us decide if our preschooler would benefit from private swim lessons.
While Washington, DC has their famous Cherry Blossom Festival, we have our own for you to enjoy: the Seattle Cherry Blossom & Japanese Cultural Festival which is held in April. Other than the festival, great spots to enjoy the cherry blossoms include in the Quad on the University of Washington Campus or along the walkway on Lake Washington Boulevard. Breathtaking.
Get ready for baseball reason (and the return of Junior!!) by scheduling a Safeco Field Tour.
Plan a trip up to Skagit Valley to the annual Tulip Festival. The acres and acres AND ACRES of the tulips are a sight to see; but there are lots of family activities to enjoy, too.
Pack a picnic and enjoy your local park. It may have been MONTHS since you've made this trip - but the days should dry out soon, so make your first trip back special by packing your lunch and inviting some friends to join you.

July 16, 2008
Now that you know the grand history of Safeco Field , let's get down to the business at hand: how to make the most of your visit to Safeco Field with your preschooler.
