With more sun in the forecast, it’s got us yearning to be outside. We love hiking, especially when it pays off with a great view like the ones you’ll find on these nearby waterfall hikes. Another fun way to spend time outside as a family is kicking back at a sporting event. Did you know Seattle has two professional Ultimate Frisbee teams? It’s true, and we’ve got the scoop on this growing sport and how to check out a family- (and budget) friendly game. And, of course, visit our playground of the week. Bonus: don't forget to enter to win an overnight stay at Sun Mountain Lodge before Friday, April 26.
