March in Seattle 2013
March 1, 2013 in Seattle This Month
Everybody keeps saying it’s already spring! I know the little purple crocus blossoms are coming up on our lawn at the base of the huge maple tree with the swing in it. And the sun is bright! Looking out the window you’d think it was short-sleave weather but there’s still a chill bite when you go out. That 
translates to 46 degrees for you numbers guys. Down vest weather, I’d say, with a bright colored shirt! (Wear bright pink or orange in Seattle and everyone will tell you how much they like your clothes… look at the street and practically everyone is wearing gray, black, or some subdued tone, it’s funny!)

Note on Good Times:
The Washington Trails Association is dedicated to expanding and improving our state’s hiking and biking trails. Every year volunteers execute hundreds of projects that make our state a better place to be. Go meet some people worth knowing and enjoy yourself while making a difference!
The Nature Conservancy, active around the world, has Northwest trips. These include one-day events which can be about managing various types of “invasive vegetation.” Meet new people and get involved or bring some friends and make it a party…or both!
