And just like that February is coming to a close. Turn the page on the month with exciting events around the Emerald City. If you haven’t taken advantage of Northwest Trek’s Wild Child Weekends, there’s no time like the present. Beyond those wilds, we’re eyeing: kitchen chemistry, a walk that’s for the birds and a chance to sound off. Here’s how to make this weekend count.

Seattle

Sound Off! 2022
Make sure this weekend rocks when you take the kids to see Sound Off! 2022 at MoPOP. Sound Off! gives local up-and-coming artists the chance to showcase their original music in the iconic Sky Church venue. The second in a three show series, this all ages-event features four musicians. Tickets required. Sat. Event details.

Birds of the Duwamish Walk
Spend time outside in the city this weekend when you learn about the birds of the Duwamish River Valley. Families are invited to sign up for this walk with Elaine Chuang, hosted through the Duwamish Longhouse and Cultural Center. The early bird get the worm, and can get into the first group going out, before the programming in the Longhouse begins. If early rising isn’t your thing, come for the walk later that morning. No registration necessary. Sat. Event details.

NAAM Night at the Sounders Match
In celebration of African American athletic achievement, the Northwest African American Museum is thrilled to partner with RAVE Foundation and Seattle Sounders FC at their opening season home match this weekend. NAAM will feature a pop-up exhibition on Black history and art of the Pacific Northwest, and give away children’s books and soccer balls too. Plus the beginning of the game will be kicked off when NAAM’s African American Cultural Ensemble sings the Black National Anthem. Tickets are required. Sun. Event details.

Kids Bake: Cookie Chemistry
Whether crispy or chewy, nutty or gooey we can all agree that cookies are a treat enjoyed by all. Join Cam Zorcone at the PCC Market in Bothell in this edition of Kitchen Chemistry as she introduces young chefs to what makes different methods and ingredients work the way they do. Along the way, kids will learn skills to build their kitchen confidence as they make Chewy Chocolate Cookies and Crisp Sugar Cookies. Registration required. Sat. Event details.

Take a Winter Train Ride
All aboard! As we close out the month and look to sunnier days, why not enjoy the scenery of the Snoqaulmie Valley? Grab tickets to this winter train excursion where passengers will travel west from North Bend through Snoqualmie to the top of Snoqualmie Falls, a sacred site to the Snoqualmie People. Then it’s time to head back east to North Bend and view the scenic sites in upper Snoqualmie Valley on this 90-minute round trip. Tickets also mean you can explore the Train Shed Exhibit Hall. Sat. Event details.

Story & Stroll
Bring your preschoolers to this outdoor program that proves when rain falls in the forest there is so much to discover. During the program, kids ages 3-5 will find out what the woodland creatures do to occupy their time, as they wonder what they would you do if they were forest animals in the rain. Registration is required. Fri. Event details.
