EGGS-plore Lynnwood
This is not your typical fill-‘er-up basket egg hunt. The city is hosting an artsy egg hunt, with artist-designed eggs at 28 locations through May 6. The eggs are on display, not for keeping. Nor are they edible. Collect eggs digitally on a smartphone at www.eggslynnwood.com or get a paper map at the Lynnwood Recreation Center. Egg hunters can enter drawings to win prizes. Eggs are placed in plain sight, not hidden, at nonprofits and businesses throughout the city.
The eggs will be exhibited at City Hall from May 8 to June 19, with an artist reception and public party June 16.
