Every Family’s Northwest Bucket List

• Free Fishing Weekend. Always on the first weekend after the first Monday in June, Washington state waives its fishing license requirement for the weekend.
• Juneteenth. While this is a newer holiday, a full understanding of this important day is critical to getting a more complete picture of U.S. history. Round up the kids and join one of many family celebrations, ceremonies and events taking place around the region.
• Fremont Fair and Solstice Parade. This famous artsy-quirky festival stars a free-spirited parade (be prepared for some questions about naked cyclists), plus there’s a pooch parade, music, art cars and kids’ activities.
• Seattle Pride.  Pride events around the region celebrate the lives and stories of LGBTQ+ people and families in a wild and colorful fashion. Celebrate all types of families and all manner of love at Seattle signature community Pride celebrations happening around town.
• Greenwood Car Show. There are a bundle of car shows around the region, but this one is extra kid-friendly, with cars lined up for admiration and lots of fun for families. It’s held the last Saturday in June each year.
