Meredith’s top 10 weekend picks

It feels like I blinked and we reached the last weekend of March. April showers (and May flowers) are up next! Enjoy the best that spring has to offer with my top 10 weekend events. Wander the tulip fields early, build something new with Lego bricks or even touch ancient fossils. And if you plan to trek between Seattle and the Eastside, don’t miss the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new Crosslake Connection.
