Why I Love Marymoor Park

King County Parks

1. Movies in the park.

For only five dollars a person and five dollars for parking, this event is extremely affordable. People are allowed in at 6:30 pm to find seating. The movie will start rain or shine as soon as it gets dark. I would recommend that you go sooner rather than later because eventually they reach maximum capacity and you might not get in.

This is a great date idea, family outing, or fun thing to do with your friends. Enjoy some fine dining with other fellow Seattleites by eating from food trucks from all around town while watching one of your favorite movies on the giant inflatable movie screen.

Thanks to the Movies at Marymoor Park website, you can see what entertainment and food trucks will be there as well as the movie schedule:

2. Marymoor Park concerts!

All summer long, Marymoor Park hosts concerts at one of the cutest outdoor venues. It’s an extremely casual and fun atmosphere for people that enjoy something a little more relaxing. Many people choose to come with food and blankets and enjoy the concert from the grass while eating even more food from the food trucks and drinking from the beer and wine tents. Here is a list of the various food trucks that will be making appearances throughout the summer. My personal favorites are Grilled Cheese Experience, Full Tilt Ice Cream, and Yummy Tummy Thai. I think it’s important to mention that most of these food trucks have been rated by Seattle Magazine as some of the best food trucks in Seattle. 107.7’s two day concert series is hosted at Marymoor Park as well! Some of the bands that will be performing are Young the Giant, Awolnation, and Kongos. Some of the concerts that happened already or will be happening this summer are: The Lumineers, Weezer, Rebelution, J Boog, and Fitz & The Tantrums. Ticket prices vary, but are always extremely affordable and well worth it.

3. The dog park

Marymoor has one of the nicest dog parks I have ever been to. My dog Molly Moon loves going to Marymoor. The off leash area is huge. Marymoor Park’s website boasts that they have over 40 acres of off leash dog area and that it has been dubbed, “Doggy Disneyland.” There are also tons of spots down the river where the dogs are able to swim and make friends. Right next to the dog park is a cleaning station called Wash Spot where you are able to clean your dog before or after they play outside! The Spot Wash is $8.75 and the Max Wash is $13.50.

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

Humans and robots face off in a rock band battle with guitars and drums, under dynamic lighting.

StableDiffusion

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
