25–27
Get your weekend on
We had some weird weather for a minute there, but luckily a
glorious August weekend
is on deck! Some
giant trolls
are lumbering into town,
huge salmon
are passing through, and just outside the city,
jumbo blooms
continue to bloom! In addition to all that largeness, there are many more
things to do in Seattle this weekend
. Plus, take in the view from the
playground of the week
