As I was walking over this bridge at this park in Seattle, I thought back to earlier this year.

I’m glad I made it this far this year.

Greenwood to Broadview, via Carkeek Park.  The constant rain has really reduced the number of these hikes I usually take.

Hi, do you have tips for how you got into finding local art events and community places, and also nature places to go? When I try googling things it thinks I’m a tourist looking to plan a vacation, aha.

I want to get out and do things but I always end up like, but where do I go? How do I find out what’s going on?

So I figured I’d ask, how do you find out what’s going on?

(if it helps, I live about an hour aware from Seattle, tho I’m new to driving)

Go to a cafe or library and look at their community message board! Public message boards are usually plastered with local events of all varieties. You won't always find art-related events, but it's still a good way to see what sorts of things are happening in your area.

Figure out what social media platform your community likes to organise on. For Seattle, this seems to largely be Instagram since it's easy to set up and manage multiple accounts. Browse tags related to your area and whenever you find an art event, follow that account. Chances are they'll be sharing similar events in addition to their own. Figure out who the organisers are and follow them as well! (Bal-Art shares lots of events to its Stories; usually Seattle-area but sometimes nearby areas too.)

Do you have a local newspaper? Even if it's online-only, there's almost always some kind of community events page. Any hyperlocal neighbourhood blogs? Same deal.

Any local farmers' markets? There tends to be decent crossover between the farmer's markets and art markets, in terms of both vendors and customers. Ask vendors what other events they're gonna be at!

Seattle has tons of neighbourhood art walks and lots of small pop-ups try to line up with them. Here are a few! Does your area have art walks? Google around?

Pioneer Square: 1st Thursdays

Capitol Hill: 2nd Thursdays

Belltown: 2nd Fridays

Ballard: 2nd Saturdays

Georgetown: 2nd Saturdays

Uptown/Lower Queen Anne: 3rd Thursdays

If you're only an hour out, transit should be an option if you don't want to deal with driving (and parking). Tacoma, Bellevue, and Lynnwood all have express buses that run to Seattle, iirc.

As for nature places -- nothing wrong with taking tourist recommendations, tbh. We're surrounded by mountains and forests and natures and there are soooo many options for nature! Not sure what you want to do in nature, but if it's hiking, WTA is a good place to start. You can look up trails based on a ton of criteria and it's great.

For Seattle specifically, we have soooo many great parks. Discovery Park, Carkeek, and Seward all have good hikes and views. Kubota Japanese Garden in Renton is also a gem.

Hope that helps!

The stalwart Salmon Steward at his post.

For TEN YEARS Alison and I have volunteered with Carkeek Park, Seattle, to educate the public about the salmon returning to the creek. It is a sacred trust.

The day there was a lot of wind over Puget Sound and there were power outages all over town, I spotted a heron way up Piper’s Creek, above the play space area in Carkeek Park.  That prob was a chill spot to wait out the wind storm.
