A favorite weekly routine of ours used to be attending a morning storytime at the library, picking up a new bagful of books and then heading off to a nearby park to run off the wiggles with friends—in hopes of a long afternoon nap.
With story times virtual for now and naps a thing of the past for us, we've modified our adventure but the core pieces are still there. Extra fun is exploring a new library and playground every week.
To get you started, here's a list of our four local libraries each paired with a nearby park. If you're looking to explore other play options you can check out my post about all the playgrounds in West Seattle. I would also recommend checking the library hours before heading out since they're always changing.
