Fun event to eat great food. Love that the bubble run is before and then you don't feel so guilty…read moreeating so much food. Wish they had more entertainment like music to enjoy.

This was a good event for Everett. It would be nice if it happened more often and with more trucks…read more This year was planned to occur the same day as the Bubble Run. Facebook was all a - flutter with complaints about the timing. It sucks to have to stand in a long line at 10am, however it was great exposure for the vendors. The food was very good. Expensive, but tasty, and servings were generous. I will happily attend next year.

This fair is awesome!…read more It's got art of all kinds. Paintings, pottery, jewelry, that awesome photography on metal so the colors stand out, etc. I remember a stall with thin pieces of wood that were carved into things like trees and mountains. They were layered into a beautiful scene, then framed as if it were a painting. Very unique! Something else that I find to be a really charming detail is that each walkway is labeled with a road sign that is named after famous artists. For example, you can tell someone to walk down "Van Gogh" to find a specific stall. It's free admission. There are food trucks, a playground, a beer garden, live music, outdoor AND indoor art displays (it's fun exploring the building)... truly a fun day for art lovers.

This years art festival was fantastic! I've been going to the EAF for years and years and frankly…read moresome years are better than others. This one, 2019, was one of the best. It had so many different types of art and everything was professionally rendered by extremely talented artists who are at the top of their art form. I love paintings, sketchings, artfully taken photography and jewelry, and this festival didn't disappoint. It was a challenge controlling myself, but I think I did, however, this is a place that I could easily and happily lose control There was a lot more than wall art. There was; ceramics, clothing, footwear, sculpture in several mediums, yard art, musical instruments and music for sale. It's a cornucopia of juried, diverse, fine art. This isn't a street fair and I'm happy that they got the street fair type vendors out of there. Every year I go and every year I find multiple items that I'd like to take home, this year would've broken the bank if I had just let myself go, but still, I'm happy with my purchases and I'll be back next year.

I've been going to the Bite of Broadview for a number of years now. It's a neighborhood event…read morehosted by Christ the King Catholic Church. I love this event because it's a smaller neighborhood event. There's plenty of kid's activities like bouncy houses, games, face painting and more! The amount of craft vendors very small. I appreciate that because I can leisurely walk around, look at things, and talk to the vendors. That being said, the selection is pretty small so if it doesn't strike your fancy, there won't be much to talk about. The carnival offers overpriced rides as you would see anywhere else. My kiddo is also partial to the coin pushing game. We do ride a few games each time we are there (except this year because of torrential rains). One of the main reasons I attend is the baked goods. Homemade pies, cakes, cookies, brownies, chex mix and more! I will say that this year's selection seemed to be smaller than previous years. However, I did have the most fantastic slice of blueberry pie! The crust was the perfect texture. The filling was not overly sweet and held together well. Another reason I like to attend is a stand with Filipino food. The pancit and chicken adobo are quite good. I also love getting the flan. I haven't been impressed with other food attractions over the years. The event also has live music and a beer garden. This year was very rainy so I didn't see many people enjoying it. In previous years, a lively crowd has been dancing and singing along with bands. I must say, even with the bad weather, the vendors were hanging in there and providing the best environment they could for everyone. Definitely worth visiting if you live in the neighborhood.

My first wine walk ever and it was so much fun! Old Bellevue is south of the Bellevue Downtown…read morePark. Fifteen businesses running along Main Street hosted twenty wineries. It is a great event that supports the local merchants and community. The walk ran from 5 PM to 8 PM. VIP tickets were $45 and granted an hour of early access starting at 4 PM plus small bites at four of the host venues. General admission tickets were $30 if purchased in advance and $40 at the door, although tickets were already sold out on the day of. Admission included twelve wine tasting tickets. Extra tickets could be purchased at $5 for an additional three. Registration was located at two places: 520 Bar & Grill and Zenrock Fitness. A plastic souvenir GoVino wine glass was given to use for the tasting. I had a VIP ticket and also received a wine carrier tote bag. Purchases could be dropped off at the Bottle Valet at 520 Bar & Grill. Wine bottles were sold tax free and had a $5 discount if two or more bottles were bought from the same winery. Bottles ranged from $10 to $60. Since snacks catered for VIP ticket holders only lasted the first hour, we tackled those places first. Even if not a VIP, a good number of the vendors provided offerings, such as charcuterie boards or chocolate, to pair with the wine. A few handed coupons or swag as well to promote their business. The VIP hosts were Zenrock Fitness, Bar Moore & Realogics Sotheby's, Whisk, and 520 Bar & Grill. Whisk was by far the best as it is a venue for cooking classes, followed by Bar Moore. As for the meet and greet with winemakers, it was quite the experience to learn and taste all sorts of wines I had never heard of before. We ended up visiting every place and trying all of the wineries. I am no wine connoisseur, but I could still distinguish the quality and taste of the wine. Structure Winery won as both of our favorites. Twelve tasting tickets for each of us was ample and we were there for three hours. Downtown Bellevue has street parking along with nearby public parking lots by the park. The area surrounding Main Street offers many various restaurants and retailers. The city has free Wi-Fi.

Great weather... a chance to try multiple new wines.. VIP tickets courtesy of the Old Bellevue…read moreMerchants Association and Yelp... how could you not go?!? Add in, getting to explore the many merchants in beautiful Old downtown Bellevue, it was a perfect opportunity and very much appreciated! Huge thank you to the Old Bellevue Merchants Association and Jennifer J. and Yelp for the great opportunity! Check in was quick, friendly, and easy, everyone was great at explaining the process and suggested routes to take. With over 600 people at this sol d out event, I would definitely say VIP tickets were great! You start an hour before regular ticket holders , and although some station had light snacks, such charcuterie boards, that were set out for the first hour, many continuously replenished the boards throughout the event. I can honestly say that I didn't have one tasting that didn't at least have me intrigued enough to want to try more from each winery or purchase bottle(s) from. Being from Nor-Cali can sometimes be a detriment to experiencing wines from other regions, but I've been mildly surprised at the Wonderful Washington wines I've experienced. I've also found it interesting that most of the wine grapes are grown in eastern Washington, but the tasting rooms are more local... gotta go where the people are sometimes, which is a bonus for us in western Washington. I tried to show as many of wines tasted in the multiple pictures taken and info about each tasting station. It would difficult to just pick one for sure, but I have to say a shout out to Browne Family Vineyards, for being on task on a very busy evening and also being the 'bonus' No ticket needed stop. Loved the 'Do Epic Shit' red blend... a great red blend with a epic title. It was a pleasure to see Washingtonians out and enjoying the sunshine, with great weather wines, and Bellevue's beautiful old downtown area. Lots of great restaurants, clothes shopping venues were highlighted as stations for this event, so you really could explore all the downtown area. One I noted for myself, since I love to cook was Whisk, a great stop for the Patterson Sangiovese, checking out all the cooking gear, and the delicious snacks being prepared in the teaching kitchen area, definitely looking into their events schedule. I highly recommend attending this event as well as other Wine walks that are hosted throughout the greater Seattle area during spring through fall. Great ways to try multiple wineries and explore places you may not regularly visit and be surprised at what you find. Fun times! Happiest Yelping, God bless and Cheers!

It was very lacking in color. The storyteller was a-know-it-all and off-putting. We paid 25 dollars for the 10 minutes it took to walk around.

I will say, the amount of items that are included in a session only takes about 10 minutes to smash. They do have options to add extras, but the selection kind of depends on the day it seems. I noticed they had a lot more options when I went during the week vs when I went on a weekend. I also noticed that they let me play music the first time I went, but that wasn't an option the most recent time. Book well in advance, and plan on eating after (but not in the immediate area)- smashing stuff is exhausting! The staff is fine, the experience is a blast, the price is worth it if you want to relieve some stress. There are pros and cons for sure, but I still plan on going back!

Each summer Marymoor Park hosts weekly movies on a weekday. Watched Everything Everywhere All at…read moreOnce as my first outdoor movie night and had a good time. Movie tickets cost $10 with a $1.38 service fee. Pets are allowed. Parking is set up on the soccer fields by Lot B and opens at 7 PM with a $10 fee. We arrived twenty minutes prior and parked at Lot K to only pay $1 and avoid the crowd afterwards. By then, there was already a line of people waiting for the check-in to start at 7:30 PM. It was somewhat silly that the pre-purchase line was slower to enter than those paying at the door due to the difference in length of the lines. Seating is first come, first served and split into three sections with ground seating the closest to the screen, then low back chairs or sand chairs, and then camp chairs. Sections are selected when buying the tickets. If your assigned section is full, then you can sit at any section behind. Sections get filled fast but we were able to lay out our picnic blanket near the center of the first section. Live music begins at 8 PM and continues until the movie starts at dusk, which during the summer time is past 9 PM. Even if not interested in the concert, it is impossible to snag good seating unless you come early. To help pass the time, the perimeter had food trucks and business tents offering free goodies. We ate dinner before the event and brought our own drinks and snacks. It can get chilly at night even during the summertime, so I would recommend to bring a jacket or blanket. Bug spray may also be useful as I woke up the next morning with a couple of mosquito bites. Unfortunately smoking is not prohibited so caught some whiffs of weed before the movie. Porta potties are lined up on both sides of the gigantic screen.

It always seems like a great yearly tradition as part of our Washington summers. Movies happened here weekly in July and August, with most shows selling out pretty fast. It's 25$ online, plus fees for your carload of guests (meaning the legal spots in your vehicle). If you fill up your car this can be really reasonable. I had thought people would be required to remain in their vehicles the entire night, but I witnessed many people bringing chairs and blankets to get a little bit more space. Cars are spaced quite a bit away from each other. You listen to the movie via your car radio and there are minimal announcements ahead of time. Food trucks and porta potties are available on site. Getting in and out of here was surprisingly simple. Lots of employees seemed to be working hard to make sure everyone's experience was enjoyable. My partner complained that some of those behind us never turned their headlights off, but overall I think it is a great way to enjoy a summer evening and we don't have any actual drive in's in the Seattle area.
