Readers learn when steam trains depart from Wickersham, whales migrate through the San Juans, and decorated boats parade through the Montlake Cut. The best spots to take the family mountain biking, bumper bowling, snow tubing, indoor swimming, rock climbing, and berry picking are included, as well as neighborhood profiles and tips for child-friendly restaurants and out-of-town excursions. Filled with age-specific suggestions for a wide range of fun family activities, this valuable resource leads parents and families to best places for family fun.

Pretty much what the title says. A very handy resource for parents in the Seattle area. The restaurant section was useful as someone who like to take the kids out and not get glares. I do wish they listed vegetarian places though.

Thanks to this book we went to so many places I never would have known about. This is priceless.

My library had a very outdated copy...1998! Had some fun ideas that I confirmed on the internet to make sure they were still around :)
