Beautiful Spring

So far in the Seattle, Washington area we have had wonderful weather since spring happened.  Of course, we always grateful when the sun comes out this time of the year; we are expecting some rain in the next few days. We do need the rain so we can have the May flowers.

Boating season will be starting pretty soon. I am sure some people go out into their boats in April; however, the first weekend of May is the official beginning of boating season.   On the Saturday the University of Washington has a regatta each year bringing in top college crew teams. The University of Washington usually wins most of the races each year. They are usually a power house when it comes to crew; in fact, the rowing teams for the USA Olympic team are made up of University of Washington crew members or alumni. The regatta is always on Lake Washington which is beautiful place to watch, and take your boat either motor or sailing.

Though spring can be very nice here the best time to spend in Washington is the summer and fall. Many people who go to University of Washington football games come by boat.  Any game that is shown on national television they will the boats, along with Space Needle, and Pike Place Market.  Husky Stadium where the football games are played is right near Mountlake so easy access by boat.  Often people from Gig Harbor and other outlying areas will come by boat.

Along with boating there is fishing, and in the Seattle and Puget Sound area there are lots of harbors to land in. The whole area there is so much to do besides boating, and fishing there is hiking and camping. Also there are a lot of parks you can visit as well along with culture places like museums.  Another thing there is many restaurants where you can eat seafood of all types.

Though there is rain during the spring usually it is light, and often breaks where there is no rain. You just have to plan for it by bringing rain gear.  Sometimes it does get windy as well so important to wear gear for wind as well.

The Seattle area is all so wonderful.  It has all the four seasons, and gets neither to hot or cold. Of course, it depends on where you are from.
