Seattle Area Museums to Visit This Summer
Summer is almost here, and with it comes the chance to visit some of our region’s many great museums. The Seattle area is full of museums, from big to small, covering a wide range of subjects or just one in great detail. Take some time to check out this list – maybe you’ll be reminded of an old favorite or find somewhere new to explore! Something to remember is many of these museums offer free admission on the first Thursday of each month – check the websites for details, but do know they’ll be much busier on these free days.

What I’m Reading
Hi Meghan,
I work for the company that produces Mutual of Omaha’s Aha Moment campaign; check out http://www.mutualofomaha.com/aha to see what an aha moment is and the incredible stories we’ve filmed over the last several years. As I came across your website, I couldn’t help but think you’d have an aha moment to share.
For the 6th year, we’re taking our 34-foot Airstream mobile film studio on the road again for the 2015 Aha Moment Tour, visiting 20 cities across America to capture inspirational, life-changing aha moments from folks all over the country. We are headed to Seattle, WA on July 27th and 28th and would love to invite you to share to share an aha moment, and how your life has changed since. You would just have to step into the Airstream studio for a few minutes and tell your story on film to our tour producer Jessica Henry. Your video will then be posted to http://www.mutualofomaha.com/aha, where you will be able to share it with your friends and family via email, Facebook and Twitter!
On July 27th and 28th from 10am to 6pm, we will be parked at the Seattle Center: Founder’s Court, 210 Mercer Street, Seattle, WA 98109. Here is a map link to the location: https://goo.gl/maps/GOwg3
We’d love to have you. Let me know as soon as possible and I can reserve your time slot.
Many thanks!
Olivia Lasky
