The Seafair Pirates have landed Seattle July 5th
on West Seattle's Alki Beach in traditional fashion to help kick off a month full of Seafair events and celebrations.

family piratesGrowing up in the Seattle area, Seafair is summer and it's been part of Northwest lifestyle for over 1/2 century. Each year between July and August, communities pack the summer calendar with loads of activities and entertainment extending far beyond the city limits.

Seafair mainstays in my earliest memory are the Lake City Grand Parade, the Torchlight Parade, Greenlakes’ Milk carton Derby, Seafair Royalty, Seafair Pirates, The US Navy Blue Angels Air Show and the Hydroplane Races on Lake Washington (in no particular order of occurrence or preference)

If the Puget Sound is on your itinerary this summer– you may be in for a treat!

The Official Seafair website and some community site links below highlight various upcoming attractions in this years’ Seafair lineup – many with FREE admission.

As the weather warms up in the Pacific
Northwest we look to spend more time
outdoors and King County Regional Trails
can provide a healthier way to keep more
green in your pocketbook while putting
more green in your adventures. King County
has one of the largest off-road trail systems in the United States,
created in part by converting Milwaukee, Chicago, St Paul and
Pacific retired and abandon Railroad lines into trails that are open
for non-motorized use.These trails continue to grow in size and
popularity.

trails and adjacent protected lands act as a
watershed and wildlife habitat for salmon,

As the Seattle GreenFestival kicks off at the Washington State Convention and Trade Center April 12-13 2008


Volunteers will be gathering at several Seattle area parks to help in a little greening themselves

Sunshine is the Seattle Saturday forecast so it could be ideal weather to spend some time outdoors. If you're interested in volunteering to help remove invasive plants, clean up litter, mulch or plant native species....join a work party! Work party locations are posted on Seattle Parks and Recreation Calendar online. Browse which sites will be providing light refreshments, snacks, drinks, tools or gloves to volunteers and remember many are teen friendly. Contact information and work scope summaries can be found online as well. Think Green!
