In this month’s feature, we tackle the issue of the “default parent” and how to share the parenting load. We also have a powerful and poignant essay about a local mom's 20-year path to healing after losing her baby. 

On the lighter side, our May issue offers lots of ways to have fun! From flower farms to an exploration of Vashon Island, and so much more on our monthly Play List.  

Plus, each year we deliver our May issue with a bonus annual Summer Family Adventure Guide, which is chock-full of terrific ideas for delightful warm(er)-weather outings, including great family rides along the Burke-Gilman Trail, adventures on Washington rivers and a family guide to clamming. Get to plannin’!
