The longer days are bringing both an excitement of the summer ahead and the challenge of getting to bed at a reasonable time on a school night. Add to that the spray park opening last weekend, Colman Pool in a couple weeks and several events coming back this year, like Seafair Pirates Landing at Alki, and the days are definitely getting brighter.
Here's a glimpse of some things going on this month. I will update weekly with any additional ones I hear about and let me know if you have one to add.
