2017 Golden Teddy Awards — Out + About

As we emerge from the rainiest winter and spring on record, Puget Sound–area parents are even more appreciative of the value of outings of the best-kept-secret variety: the best rainy-day play space; the museum that welcomes kids (and is free); the classes that keep kids entertained; the deluge-proof playgrounds. Thanks for sharing your secrets. Clip and save this list for 2018; “weather” or not we’re in for it again, it will come in handy.  — Elisa Murray
