A Note from Your Publisher

May 28, 2016
Can you believe it has been just about 6 months since you last received an Eastside Macaroni Kid newsletter?! That's a good chunk of time! Though I'm sure you've been able to hear about events through the grapevine or even through your own searches over the past few months, I want you to know I got you covered and you can look forward to this weekly newsletter to keep you in the know. The Eastside Macaroni Kid is your one stop shop for all things family friendly in Bellevue, Redmond, Mercer Island, and Kirkland.

This coming week there are farmers markets to visit, especially if you want fresh, tasty, local fruits, produce, and food; story times, Play & Learn, Brick Builders, STEAM Play, and Mini Book Sale events at local libraries and book stores; outdoor activities at Lewis Creek Park and Pioneer Park; and let's not forget Free First Friday at Bellevue Arts Museum. Check out the calendar for more details! There's a lot going on as we head into summer, so in order to keep track of it all we've made it easy for you to add all the events you're interested in into YOUR calendar!  Just click the button below the full event listing to add it.

I've been getting out and about in the community, so as time goes on I'll have more insight to share about indoor play spots, playgrounds, activities, events, preschools, youth programs, dance studios, restaurants, camps, and so much more that you will have to check out!

Thank you for your patience and continued loyalty and support as I get in the swing of things and fill up the calendar, business directory, and more!  If you have any questions, concerns, or tips, feel free to reach out to me - katrinac@macaronikid.com - or if you know of any happenings you'd like us to share you can submit an event here

Last but not least, I hope you all have happy and safe Memorial Day celebrations! And for those who have fought for our freedom, we remember, honor and thank you!!

See you around the Eastside!
