Seattle's Child

Your guide to a kid-friendly city

Coronavirus tips for Seattle families

Expert health information plus ways to stay busy if schools are closed or you are wary of going out.

 

We are living in trying (and often frightening) times here in the Seattle area. Schools are closed, people are panic-buying and we are being urged to stay home. (It's possible we will soon be required to stay home.)

At Seattle's Child, we want to help you cope as much as we possibly can. Some of what we do best is offer creative ways to keep kids occupied, and we are pulling out the stops in an effort to bring you these things.

We would love to hear your ideas, too! Please comment below or email jhanson@seattleschild.com
