A
s summer approaches and Seattlites gear up for those
extra hours of sunlight the warm-weather months bring,
we will soon see flocks and flocks of tourist descend upon
our beautiful city. Maybe some of those are your weekend
guests that beckon you to act as tour guide, or perhaps you
would like to reacquaint yourself with a few of Seattle's
summertime gems yourself? Whatever the case may be,
you are sure to find our Summer Bucket List a valuable
resource as you plan your summer weekends. Don't miss
our Day Tripp'n article highlighting the famous Sequim
Lavender Festival - although it feels worlds away it really is
just a hop, skip and a jump over to the Olympic Peninsula.
In Seattle outdoor entertaining is as integral to summer as farmer's markets, ice
tea, and dipping your toes into that cool Lake Union water. What would summer be
without outdoor gatherings on your deck? Now is the time to do that prep work, in
'Deck Prep Made Easy' you will find 3 simple tips to get your outdoor space ready
for summer.
This issue also includes our Cause for a Pause charity article featuring Mary's Place,
a unique women's shelter doing amazing work with homeless families looking to
change their lives.
Some of the happiest summer evenings I've spent were in someone's backyard,
sitting in clusters of mismatched lawn chairs and sharing stories while the sun set.
The best part of any summer is always the company. Enjoy!
