We’re camping at Orcas, got a room at that hotel at Paradise in Rainier, and got season tickets to West Seattle FC. Also looking forward to my Dub Sea Fish Sticks.

Zoo concert series looked okay. Hoping the music festivals kill it this year.

      I’ll have a car for part of it and I’m not totally sure yet! She’s thinking August, but might be toward the end of July

        If you’re ok with small spaces, the Seattle underground tours are really really fun.

        I live in West Seattle so I’m biased, but I think the best park in the city is Lincoln park over on the west side of West Seattle. Grab some sandwiches (or ice cream) from Husky Deli in Alaska Junction then head down to Lincoln Park, get a bench down by the waterfront, and just hang out. The southern most part of Lincoln Park is the easiest way to get to the water. You can go thru the park too (which is a big beautiful urban forest) but the walk down to the water thru the park is a little steep, especially for people not used to hiking.

        If dorky Americana type stuff is fun for you, there are lots of semi-pro sports happening around then. Our family likes going to the Dub Sea Fish Sticks games here in West Seattle, but there’s teams all over Seattle. The Fish Sticks play low level baseball and it’s much more people having a good time outside and screwing around than actual serious baseball. There’s also Ballard FC for soccer, with the same vibe.

          Dorky American sports actually sound like a lot of fun! I’ll have to look into that, we haven’t seen goofy fun baseball since we were kids. I’ll have to add Lincoln park to my list too, I have a bunch but I didn’t know about that one! She’s never seen a forest or a mountain so I’m excited to share all the urban forests with her.
