Last year we loved seeing the hydroplane races during Seafair, so we were excited to see that there is a museum nearby displaying photos and memorabilia about these speedy racers. The museum is a little expensive, but we thought we'd try it out.

I don't think we'll have much time to do anything else before we have to head to Kent Station...but if we do, we will likely stop at one of the nearby parks.

Other places to visit in this area:

Green River Trail - walking/biking

Ikea - shopping

Kent Station - shopping

Old Fishing Hole - fishing for kids under age 14
