Alki Beach

Alki Beach is very beautiful, with sand so soft you could easily walk barefoot along the whole beach. There is a great view of the Seattle skyline from the beach. It’s where the original settlement of Seattle was until they moved to where downtown currently is. Apparently, Alki beach was made famous from a scene in Sleepless in Seattle. I guess it’s a movie I need to rewatch.

Spray Parks and Wading Pools

Jefferson Park

Wow, you guys. This is probably the best thing to do with kids in the summer in Seattle.

Seattle has so many spray parks and wading pools. It’s a great way to beat the heat. And they are free. Check out their website for times and locations. There are also many in the surrounding areas which you can see via their parks websites.

Probably my favorite is Angle Lake Park, which is actually located in the SeaTac community. It has lots of picnic shelters, shade, and a huge spray park. The only downside can be finding a parking spot when it’s busy. Then again, this can be the same issue for many of the other spray parks. If you go early though, like a little before the spray park opens, it never seems to be an issue. Luckily, the light rail does come close, just within a 10-minute walk if you don’t want to deal with parking.

Summer Activities for Kids in Seattle

There are a lot of awesome summer camps in Seattle but since I spent the budget for that on our dishwasher, I thought it would be fun to use the summer to get out and explore Seattle with our daughter.

 

I have a few ideas of what to do and where to go but I’m also looking for more ideas. Preferably things that are free or cheap. Please comment below or contact me if you have suggestions of posts you’d like to see.

The Ultimate French Press

I have this problem where I tend to break anything that’s even sort of fragile. In college, it was wine glasses. So I switched to plastic ones.

Now that I’m in my “adult years” it’s been glass french presses.

So I desperately searched for something unbreakable and found this amazing thing:

LINKYO French Press Coffee Maker - Easy Clean Stainless Steel Coffee Press, 34 ounce (1 Liter)

LINKYO French Press Coffee Maker

It’s a solid stainless steel french press, which makes it pretty much unbreakable. Its double walls help it to retain heat longer while being cool to the touch. The double filter system reduces sediment in your coffee. And my other favorite part is that it’s dishwasher safe. Perfect for making coffee concentrate. I highly recommend it. Especially if you’re as clumsy as me.
