Looking for fun ways to spend your weekend (other than celebrating that we are one month closer to summer...)? Here are a few things to do around the Sound:
- Think warm. The Seattle Boat Show wraps up on Sunday, but there is plenty to see and do at CenturyLink Field & South Lake Union before then. Friday night, check out Sails & Ales, an evening featuring Washington craft beer. There's also the Splash! acrobatic shows - Friday @ 7pm and Saturday at 3pm. Watching acrobat daredevils will take your mind off the cold weather for a little while. "Picture yourself on a boat in a river..." or Lake Washington. Instant mental sunshine.
- And speaking of acrobatics,
Cirque du Soleil: AmaLuna features characters loosely inspired by Shakespeare's
The Tempest. Seattle is the first stop on the U.S. tour, so you'll be of the first to see the spectacle under the traveling Grand Chapiteau (a climate-controlled tent) through March 24th at Marymoor Park. The story is secondary to the acrobatics and juggling, so this is great for the kids, too.
- If you're looking for date night out,
Dr. John plays Jazz Alley all weekend. For a musical date night in, try a Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers album. Heartbreaker Mike Campbell celebrates a birthday on February 1st. Or if something across the pond is more your taste, the great Graham Nash celebrates his birthday on Saturday.
