One of the things I love about living on the Eastside is that there's always something going on. You don't have to travel far to find a festival, live music, great food, or somewhere new to explore.
Here are a few events that caught my eye this week:
• Alki Art Fair — Browse local artists, listen to live music, grab a bite to eat, and enjoy some of the best views of the Seattle skyline.
• Kirkland Uncorked — Washington wines, local restaurants, waterfront views, and live entertainment all weekend long.
• Sequim Lavender Festival — If you've never been, this is worth the drive. Lavender fields in full bloom, farm tours, shopping, and a charming street fair.
• Seafair Indian Days Powwow — Experience traditional dancing, drumming, Native art, and food at Discovery Park.
• CID Celebration — Celebrate the many cultures of Seattle's Chinatown–International District with performances, food vendors, and activities throughout the neighborhood.
• King County Fair — Carnival rides, farm animals, rodeo events, and all the classic fair food in Enumclaw.
• Blastfest at Seattle Center — A weekend of music featuring artists and cultures from around the world.
Pacific Northwest summers always seem to fly by. Pick an event, grab someone you enjoy spending time hanging out with, and make the most of your weekend!
