The Center for Wooden Boats is a wonderful place to bring children. We went last year when they had tours on the Lady Washington, the ship used in Pirates of the Carribean.
I have also heard the circus is in Everett this weekend.
Kirkland is also having a Classics Car Show this weekend - Concours d’Elegance.
I think this list is a great idea!! What to do around the Sound!! I know there is a lot but don’t always have time to search all King, Kitsap, Skagit counties, etc. to find events.
