Seattle-Tacoma Earth Day 2013

Festivals, park events, and more

Source: about.com

Most citizens of the Seattle area are conscious of the environment year round—it’s hard not to be with such spectacular nature surrounding us day in and day out! Earth Day falls on April 22 this year, but because that’s a Monday, many celebrations are taking place April 20, 2013.

Getting out into nature on this day of all things green is the way to go! By no means do you have to join in an official event either! Plant an extra tree in your yard. Pick up stray garbage when you’re out and about. Clear some leaves or debris away from a storm drain. The options are many and can involve actions big and small. But if you do want to head out, joining in a nature walk or a local festival gets the entire family out into Seattle and Tacoma’s green spaces.

As the time approaches, check back as the list of Seattle-Tacoma Earth Day events grows! Or let me know about other cool Earth Day happenings by sending me an email.

Quiet presents Rebecca Gilman’s “Spinning Into Butter”

March 14, 15, 16
Tickets now available – http://bpt.me/324228

When a racial incident threatens the tranquility of Belmont College, a liberal arts school in Vermont, the school administration is challenged to mount a response to the act of intolerance. Because their patronizing attempts to make themselves feel better do nothing to alleviate tensions on campus, the Dean of Students is forced to confront the prejudice in her own life.

“Spinning Into Butter” kicks off quiet’s 2013 season exploring issues of race, causing us all to confront the assumptions and prejudices that lie hidden just below the surface. Panel discussions will follow each evening performance.

March 14, 15, 16*
Performances every night at 7:30pm
*Additional Matinee Performance at 2:00pm

Musical revue: A good melody is timeless. So says the creator and producer of “In the Mood,” a big-band-inspired 1940s musical revue that’s playing Saturday in Everett. Or make that more than 40 good melodies, which is about how many songs the audience will hear as “In the Mood” re-creates the swing-era experience. Read the details in our story here.
