Looking back at last year I forgot we had snow in March! I think we should be in the clear this year but these days I’m not surprised by anything. March in Seattle feels like it’s when our city starts to collectively wake up from our winter nap. We get friendlier. The blossoms are out. I’m seeing all the where to find blossoms in Seattle post and it’s not that hard to find them. Just walk around any neighborhood or wake up earlier than you want to in the morning so you can get a parking spot at UW. We have high school soccer again (one of my guys plays for the Ballard High School team).
SO what to do in Seattle in March?
Ai, Rebel at Seattle Art Museum
I just came back from a preview today and my post is up and it’s the most exciting art exhibition we’ve had in our city for a while. Everything is art and everything is politics. This is a must see in Seattle and thankfully it’s here until September.
Sailor Moon in Seattle
Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon: The Super Live is coming to Seattle on March 26 and March 26. I sat through a press junket recently with some of the cast and creators and you can find out more about this event and how to get tickets here. Did you grow up with Sailor Moon too?
Irish Festival at Seattle Center March 15 and 16th
We went to Ireland for 5 days during Thanksgiving a few years ago and completely fell in love so the Irish Festival at Seattle Center is on our radar too. Dublin is also one of many places you can get to with a direct flight from Seattle.
Macaron Day in Seattle March 20
Not Macaroon Day but Macaron Day at Le Panier in Pike Place Market (not Pike’s Place Market). It happens every year and it looks like it’s happening in 2023 too and that’s reason enough to celebrate and join in.
Cherry Blossoms in the City
Keep an eye on the UW blog for news about the cherry blossoms: last year they started about a week before the April 1st blog came out. Bakery Nouveau has a sakura cake on its menu and I’ll definitely be looking out for cherry blossom themed foods around the city this year.
If you have any tips or events that you think I should include for March or beyond please let me know. I ry to curate a few events that I know I’ll be attending or that I wish I could go to-we all only have so much time.
And if you are looking for things to do next month, you can check out my Things to do in April in Seattle here too. We recently went to Vancouver BC and stayed at the Syliva Hotel. It’s a great family-friendly place in the city.
