SCULPTURE PARK Summer activities in Seattle Art Museum’s Olympic Sculpture Park are back this July and August. Kicking off on July 11, Thursday nights will feature live music from 6 – 8 pm, food trucks, art activities for all ages, tours of the art in the park, and play areas for younger kids. We can’t guarantee it, but there are sure to be some pretty nice sunsets as well. On Saturdays (starting July 13), come check out free yoga classes (10:30 – 11:30 am) and Zumba classes (2-3 pm).
