If you're not at work today and have young kids, consider a drive north to check out the fully in-bloom tulips in Skagit Valley. Expect less traffic on the highway and fewer crowds at Tulip Town. Work in an optional stop at the co-op in Mt. Vernon for lunch. Don't forget your rain boots—the fields are muddy. For more tips check our guide.
If you're staying closer to home try container gardening with kids. Grab the rain boots and start planting a veggie garden—or, if you have the land, go all in and plan an urban farm.
