These are a few places to go if you’re short on cash and want to get out of the house this summer.

1. Goldmyer Hot Springs

If you’re up to a little bit of a drive, visiting the Hot Springs in North Bend is a great trip. While you have to make reservations in advance it is a great activity that does not cost a lot. Children 17 years and younger are free and anyone 18 years or older is $15. You can also camp for $5 a night per a person who is 18 years or older, and free for anyone younger. All in all its a pretty great deal for not a lot of money. You can find more info here: http://www.goldmyer.org/visiting.php?m=5

2. Downtown Snohomish

This one is a little bit of a closer drive but still just as fun. You can visit the art museum or browse through stores. They also have a sorts of events you can attend. Visit here to find out more about upcoming events and things to do: https://www.historicdowntownsnohomish.org/events

5. Kirkland Waterfront

Again this one is kind of a drive, but there are lots of things to do if you’re up to spending a bit and other free actives if you’re not. Wow Wow Lemonade is right next to the water and you can get a 16oz lemonade for $4, and there are other food and drinks places around.
