So maybe you didn’t make camping reservations. You thought it might rain, right? You’re probably right. It’s certainly not too late to make the most of this long weekend! Create a no-fuss Northwest Staycation for your family. Here are some ideas:
Spend the day at NW Trek! Remember the post about when we went? Our family couldn’t get enough of this place!
NW Trek has lots of baby news, including the recent births of three beaver kits. In addition, the American bison was recently named the national mammal, and Puget Sound area residents can come and see an entire herd of them just a short drive away. No need for a road trip to Yellowstone National Park or Montana! And don’t forget about the new nature inspired play area. You could easily spend an entire day here! 
Visit the Historic Fairhaven Festival- Bellingham’s Biggest and Best Street Fair! Enjoy live music, a beer garden, 100 + food and street vendors, and lots of family activities. For full details, click here. 
Find a Farmers’ Market near you! Farmers’ markets are one of the oldest forms of direct marketing by small farmers…and they are FUN, even for kids!
Join a Trail Work Party with Washington Trail Association. Here are some upcoming dates:
- May 29 Ridley Creek
- May 29 Tursi Trail
- May 31 White Chuck Bench
- May 31 Duckabush River
- May 31 Beaver Lake Preserve
Go pick Strawberries as a family! They are early this year! Biringer Farm in Arlington is open, along with many other farms all over the area. 
Attend the Family Science Weekend at the Seattle Aquarium! Visit the Seattle Aquarium for fun, hands-on science including looking for plankton, learning about Aquarium research, and more!
Attend a Mariner’s Game on the Salute to Kids Night! All kids 14 & under take home a Robinson Canó t-shirt courtesy of Boeing. Plus, young fans 6 – 14 can sign up to work dream jobs at Safeco Field, including reporter, groundskeeper, public address announcer and more!
Go on a hike! Here are some great family friendly ideas. 
Find a Memorial Day service near you to attend as a family.
