Memorial Day Weekend + Great Weather = Traffic

Carl Setzer

This morning I heard a brief blurb about this weekend’s traffic. It’s going to be lovely, and there are some great events like Folklife going on (besides Folklife, my favorite so far is Tankfest in Everett at Paine Field.

Everyone will be on the roads!

Expect horrible traffic throughout the Puget Sound region, and plan extra time to get to whatever adventure you’ll be taking.

Looking for something to do (besides one the two above)? Here’s a few lists of events and activities out there.

Just a small sampling of all that’s going on around here. There’s also all the mountains, beaches, parks…outside stuff!

No reason to be on the couch this upcoming long weekend!

 

Aviation Film Festival: We Should Have One In The Seattle Area

My son discovered this film festival hosted by the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum

Smithsonian Air and Space Museum Film Festival

Now I’m wondering, with such amazing institutions like Boeing, the Museum of Flight, the Future of Flight and the Museum of History and Industry, why we don’t have a similar film festival here in Seattle. I really think we’d get great traction on something like this.

What do you think? Would you go?

Let me know!

 

May is Muppets Month in Seattle!

  • First off, on May 13th, the Seattle Public Library will host Jim Henson Con at the Central Library. Running from 10 am to 5 pm, this all ages event will have such activities as crafts, costumes, and, my favorite, a Labyrinth Sing-Along!
  • Then starting on May 20, MoPOP will be hosting The Jim Henson Exhibition: Imagination Unlimited. Growing up under the influence of muppets, this exhibit thrills me.

National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day This Saturday

Carl Setzer

Perhaps you, like me, has a medicine cabinet filled with expired medications you have had no idea what to do with. The garbage, as well as the toilet, we know are terrible.

So, here’s a solution: the National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day this Saturday, April 29th from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm.

In south Snohomish County, we can head to Mountlake Terrace’s police department located at 5906 232nd St SW, Mountlake Terrace.

If you don’t live close to Terrace, this link will help you find a closer participating location.
