Celebrate the 4th of July in Seattle and on the Eastside

Hold on!  Could it actually be sunny on the Fourth of July?  Could it be great weather to celebrate the outdoors?  It could be wonderful.  But now I’m hearing it could be damp and rainy. I’m heading to my 23rd Fourth of July in the Seattle area and have seen more cool and damp holidays than I care to remember.  I’ve heard more than once that  around Seattle, “Summer begins on July 5th.”  This week, starting with this past weekend, it appears that summer has arrived in full swing.  Let’s hope it stays this way for the fourth.

Here’s where you can spend your Fourth of July in the Seattle area:

If you want to travel across the lake, there are the two grandaddies of all the holiday celebrations:

WAMU Family Fourth:

Rated by Time Magazine as one of the “top five fireworks shows in the country.”

Enjoy food, a beer garden, Chinook helicopter fly-over and more.

Fourth of jul-Ivars

Come down to Eliot Bay to view the 44th annual Ivar’s fireworks show.

Fish and Fireworks is a special opportunity to watch the fireworks show from the Aquarium, enjoy the fish and sea life, and avoid the crowds and traffic.
