Get your weekend on

It’s a pivot point in our year, a long weekend marking the transition from summer to school. Labor Day weekend presents a variety of memory-making opportunities, from affordable family fun to splurgy Bumbershoot. Along with fairs aplenty, there are lots more things to do in Seattle this weekend. Plus, take the kids to go wild at the playground of the week.
