If you’re bored this weekend, you’ve got only yourself to blame — it’s a veritable bonanza of fun out there. Here’s a sampling of what’s going on:
Night at the museum: Admission at the Imagine Children’s Museum in Everett is free from 5:30 to 9 Friday night.
Kidstock: A free day of fun Saturday at the Edmonds Center for the Arts includes performances by “kindie” rock bands, puppet shows and theater workshops. Kids can also try bouncy houses, hula hoops and juggling toys. Read more in our story here.
Take aim: Bring your bow and arrows to the Granite Falls Sportsmen’s Club for a Fun Shoot on Sunday. Archers can test their skills on life-size 3-D foam targets of an alligator, deer, turkey, bear, pig, porcupine and more. Learn more here.
Fee-free Monday: Fees are waived for many public lands in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. National parks, state parks and more than 74 day-use sites in the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest are among those participating.
