If you’re staying close to home for spring break next week and want to have fun in the sun (here's hoping), we’ve got all the details on the best activities to do while the kids are out of school. If none of those strike your fancy, might we suggest spending a day in one of the Pacific Northwest's best-kept secrets? Plus, there is some major fun happening around town this weekend, don't miss out. And, as always, be sure to check out our playground of the week.
