Weather and family things to do
-
3/6/2006
Weather today is Sunny, windy, temps in the mid-50's, and no rain. Rain in Western Washington typically consists of heavy mist. You will rarely encounter heavy rains as experienced in the South or Midwest. Want to be outside during the winter, then wear micro fleece clothing and get after it. You don't have to be bundled up like the Michelin Man to enjoy being outside. We live through the winter and early spring so that we can have nearly rain-free June - Sept/Oct. Not many places can say that.
Federal Way has numerous parks, baseball and soccer fields with organized sports for both children/teens and family. With a major renovated mall with a majority of moderately priced stores (Macy's, Sears, Target) and a wide array of food establishments in town, there are things to do for most every family member.
There are numerous bicycle trails in the city and nearby area as the metro Seattle area has been voted one of the best bicycling areas in the nation. The mountains are an hour car ride away with the ocean beaches being 3 hours.
