Hey neighbors,

Sorry for the late send! Plenty of this Father’s Day weekend is still ahead: the 69th annual Edmonds Arts Festival runs through Sunday, the Richmond Beach Garden Tour, Secret Gardens of LFP and the Ridgecrest garage sale all stack up on Saturday, and a solstice labyrinth walk closes things out Sunday night.

⚽ USA 2, Australia 0 today! Hope everyone caught it at a watch party. More World Cup celebrations are coming to Shoreline all season, including the Global Kick-Off at Cromwell Park on Jun 30 (see Coming Up below).

✨ Editor’s Pick

69th Annual Edmonds Arts Festival @ Frances Anderson Center · Fri Jun 19–Sun Jun 21 · Fri/Sat 10am–7pm, Sun 10am–5pm · 700 Main St, Edmonds · All ages · Free Now in its 69th year, this Father’s Day weekend staple has grown from a handful of booths into one of the Northwest’s biggest art celebrations. The student gallery alone draws crowds — over 1,000 pieces from Edmonds School District kids, and parents say the look on their kids’ faces seeing their art on public display is worth the trip. Beyond that: 160+ juried booth artists, a gallery of 400+ regional works, the Edmonds Arts Plaza (singer-songwriter performances, a Rotary beer and wine garden — “like a mini art festival in itself”), food trucks, hands-on kids’ art activities and live music, dance and theater all weekend.
