Summer Fun in Seattle Area

Continuing Thoughts on the Joys of Summer

Since writing yesterday’s post, I have been thinking more about all the things I love to do in Seattle.  In fact I moved to Pacific Northwest because I had such fond memories of summers spent up here.  Well actually, I moved up here because we could get jobs and find affordable housing, but Seattle was a contender also because of all that it offers.

So here is a list of some of my favorite summer activities.  Please chime in so we can help each other have a truly amazing, inspiring and nourishing summer. I have included some links,

• Berry picking at Harvolds Farm
• Watching Firework Displays
• Beach combing and tide-pooling
• Concerts in the park at ZooTunes, Chateau St. Michell, or Marymoore Park
• Bike Riding on the Burke-Gilman Trail
• Swimming at Lincoln Park Pool in West Seattle
• Mountain Biking
• Kayaking or canoeing in the Mercer Slough or Lake Union
• Sailing  on Lake Union – Center for Wooden Boats
• Sailing on the Sound – Shilshoe Marina
• Watching boating activity – so many beach parks abound on Lakes and the Sound
• Hiking – So many trails on the I90 corridor you could go to a different one every day of summer and not get bored.
• Check out local islands – Vashon, Bainbridge, Whidbey
• Check out further islands – Orcas, San Juan, Shaw, etc
• Camping – Mt. Baker, Mt. Rainer, Cascade Wilderness, Olympics
• Hanging out at the beach – Ocean Shores, Olympic Peninsula, Shi Shi, Cannon Beach in Oregon
• Ferris Wheel on the the Seattle waterfront
• Yoga for Hope – outdoor yoga at the Seattle Center for City of Hope
• Wanderlust – Multi-day yoga and music event offered this year in Whistler, BC
• Meditating while sitting in the dunes by the beach, or next to a river
• Yoga on the beach

Okay, this is enough to get everyone started.  Off to meditate, work in my garden and study yoga.  Perfect day.
