Rainy Day Activities in the Seattle area

I stumbled on this list the other day while I was on the hunt for something fun to do with RE in the bad weather. Most, if not all, of the community centers are only open during the school year, and I haven't double checked all of them, so I'm not positive they're all still up and running, but it's a great place to start. We've been to the Old Redmond Schoolhouse a handful of times, and love it. Some of the Seattle Community Centers might be kind of far, but fun nonetheless!


Happy Rainy Season!
