Without a doubt, summertime is the BEST time to be in Seattle. The warmth of the sun and it’s golden hues dazzling our city skylines, waterfronts and mountain ranges. It’s no wonder Seattle has a series of events lined up for city dwellers and visitors alike.

Gearing up in our neck of the woods, the Greenwood Car Show gets underway this Saturday, June 29th from 8am-4pm. Family and pet-friendly, this event runs the length of several (and very walkable) city blocks featuring music, food and the coolest collection of cars, trucks, and hotrods. Come celebrate this up-close and interactive neighborhood spectacle and plan a pit stop into Greenwood Sip and Ship to refuel, recharge and get refreshed with an iced cold-brew coffee, oat-milk latte or lavender-lemonade.

Cheers to summer!
