Spring is arguably the best season in Seattle. The emerald city begins to bloom to life as the rain starts to finally break and events start to kickoff. At Cardinal Heating & A/C, we’re committed to your comfort and part of that means getting out there and being social. We know that people tend to hibernate during the rainy winter in Seattle, so that’s why we put together a list of can’t miss spring events in Seattle to help break locals out of their winter shells.
Seattle is a mecca for green living and eco-friendly practices. This is why there is so much to do for Earth Day. First, you can connect with nature with free entry into Washington’s 5 national and 281 State parks. Next, you can give back by joining the Student Conservation Association at the Washington Park Arboretum to help revitalize the park. For a bit of storytelling, come to the Duwamish Longhouse and Cultural Center for both Native and non-Native stories and music from world class storytellers. Lastly, don’t forget to break a sweat at Seattle’s Earth Day Run with a 5k, 10k or 15k run.
