Hey there Seattle!
It’s going to be HOT this weekend! What are you going to do to cool off?
I just got home from a beach party at O. O. Denny Park in Kirkland – great place to grill, swim in Lake Washington, play on the playground and chill with friends.
Make sure you get outside or into the A/C… and enjoy our warm season in Seattle!
