June in Seattle Delivers

3 weeks ago | seattlemag.com | Sarah Stackhouse

The season is starting to turn. Lawnmowers are buzzing, the air smells like barbecue, and suddenly the herbs in the garden are out of control. Here are a few things to love before summer officially begins. Peonies and poppies. Whatever’s piled high in a bucket that day, just grab it. One pretty bunch placed anywhere in the house makes the place feel festive and bright. Or break them up and make a few small bouquets for every room. Strawberries are hitting their stride.

How to Celebrate 'Ferris Bueller’s Day Off' in Seattle

It’s one of the greatest movies of all time. Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, written and directed by John Hughes, gave us the blueprint for playing hooky: a couple of phony phone calls, some light auto theft, a baseball game, a parade with the best lip-syncing scene in cinematic history, and a near mental breakdown. But it’s not just a movie about one guy skipping school. It’s about how everyone around him reacts to it.

Father’s Day is coming up, and if you’re looking for something local to give or do, we pulled together a few ideas. We know the day can be complicated. Not everyone celebrates, and not every relationship with a father is easy. If you’re honoring someone this year, whether it’s a dad, stepdad, uncle, mentor or anyone who has shown up in that role, here are some fun picks. Take him to a Mariners game. Grab a sumo dog and a seat in the sun, $50+.

Is it finally warm enough to leave the house without a backup jacket? Maybe. But this is Seattle, so keep a raincoat crumpled in your bag, just in case. People are digging out camping gear and Googling the least buggy lakes. Summer in the Evergreen State is starting to show up, and not a minute too soon. Here’s what’s happening around town…The SLU Market is getting bigger. For its 10th anniversary, South Lake Union’s Saturday market will now span two full blocks downtown, with more than 100 booths.

If there’s a creative endeavor of any kind, expect Seattle to show up and look good. Case in point: Our official 2026 FIFA World Cup host city poster took the top spot in Sports Illustrated’s national ranking. For the first time in FIFA World Cup history, each of the tournament’s 16 host cities — spanning the U.S., Mexico, and Canada — designed its own official poster.
The Pulse: Seattle Is for the Birds

Spring’s nearly over, and the birds are making the most of it. Gulls are stealing beach snacks, robins bounce around in the grass, and crows run the block like little mobsters. As the city grows, so do they. Seattle now has 30 to 40 times more crows than it did in the 1960s. We’re lucky. We’ve got the smartest, scrappiest birds in the game. Here’s what’s happening around town…A very cute crane escaped the Cougar Mountain Zoo and is still on the loose.
