With clear, sunny skies and highs of 80 degrees in the forecast, this Memorial Day weekend marks the beginning of the summer season in Seattle.
And with state on track to reopen fully by June 30 or sooner if at least 70% of people 16 and older get at least one dose of the vaccine there is reason to be cautiously optimistic that this summer will be much better than the last.

Fans of the Labor Day weekend arts and music festival Bumbershoot will have to wait yet another year, Seattle city officials said in a news release Friday.
Canceled in 2020 and 2021 because of COVID-19 restrictions, Bumbershoot will look different when it returns in 2022, the release said. The Seattle Center and nonprofit One Reel, which have grown the festival from its humble city-led beginnings in the early 1970s, said they d be forming an exploratory committee to figure out the best way to bring the festival back.
