Welcome to the middle of June! Somehow we’re halfway through the month and with that in mind, there’s a decent amount happening this weekend between getting outdoors, opportunities to see art and more. Here are 10 of the best things to do in & around Seattle this weekend.
Check out 56 paintings by Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish artists held in the collection of the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Sweden, right here in Seattle. You’ll see scenes of everyday life, portraits, and landscapes by Vilhelm Hammershøi, Hanna Hirsch-Pauli, Carl Larsson, August Strindberg, Anders Zorn, and many others.
When: Until July 17th
Where: 2655 NW Market St

If it sounds scary, we promise it’s not nearly as terrifying as you might be imagining. Washington has tons of caves that you can explore making for a fun and unforgettable weekend activity. Of course, we compiled a list of some of the best places to visit.
Lauren Halsey’s show is the Seattle Art Museums’ next upcoming exhibition. Her work “spans sculpture, installation, and architecture, including site-specific projects, particularly in the South Central neighborhood of Los Angeles.” Further, “her work maintains a sense of civic urgency and free-flowing imagination, reflecting the lives of the people and places around her and addressing the crucial issues confronting people of color, queer populations, and the working class.”
When: Until July 17th
Where: 1300 First Ave
Cost: $19.99+
A new month means tons of new additions. June’s Netflix additions are a mix of new originals and some old favorites. You can also see what’s leaving Netflix in June as well.
Of course, the center of the universe has its own fair. The Fremont Fair is a unique experience that every Seattleite should have. It shares some similarities to Folklife in energy but you can expect to see plenty of colors, art, music, and of course the iconic solstice parade.
When: June 18th & 19th
Where: Fremont
