So here are a few things to do in May in Seattle:

Studio Tours on Camano Island for Mother’s Day weekend

If mom or you loves art, Camano Island is only about an hour’s drive away from Seattle. The Open Studio tour weekend has been happening for 24 years and this year you can stop at over 20 studios on the island to check out some beautiful art. My mom and I recently went for an overnight there but you can also do a day trip and Camano Commons has some really great lunch options if you’re looking for a place to eat too.

Music of the Beetles and More for kids at the Crocodile (May 11)

When the guys were younger they loved going to see the Recess Monkeys and Caspar Babypants. So this “Music of the Beetles and More for kids” looks interesting to me, just because it’s a cool excuse to go to the Crocodile with your kids. And kids under 1 are free. If you go let me know what you think of it, this looked like something I would have tried when the guys were younger too.

Pike Place Market Flower Festival (May 11-12)

There will be over 30 flower farmers with all sorts of spring flowers, Market buskers and a special edition tote bag at the 15th annual flower festival at Pike Place Market. Local farms will start having U-pick flowers again soon as well. And I’m looking out for when strawberry picking season will begin.

Here are some ideas for books and puzzles for Mother’s Day if you need some last-minute gifts.

Do you know of more things to do in Seattle in May?

These are only a handful of the many things going on in our city(and nearby) this month and I’m likely going to add a few things over the next few days as well. If you have anything you’d like me to include that happening in Seattle in May or beyond please feel free to message through my email or instagram. And if you are looking ahead to next month, here are the things to do in Seattle in June.

(PS are you looking for a very PNW book list? I have one right here! And also here are all the things we like to do in Seattle from May to October too.

Also May is a great time to start looking for summer plans. Here are the most popular travel destinations from Seattle this summer.)
