  1. I'd like to add that there is a free Drop In & Play Time for kiddos ages 0-4 at Lake City Presbyrerian church in north east Seattle (near Lake Forest Park/Shoreline/Northgate). I have hosted it for a few years in our church nursery. Currently running Mondays (except 12/26 this month) 9:30 a.m. - 12noon. Let me know if you'd like more info.

    Also a few more coffee shops with play areas: Spotted Cow Bean and Creamery in Mill Creek Town Center and Yellow Umbrella Coffee in Lynnwood. I've heard Mosaic in Wallingford and Twirl Cafe in Queen Anne are great for the infant/tot set as well.

  3. Hi Katie! Thank you so much for adding our Lil Diggers Playtime to your list of fun indoor play places. We've gotten some traffic from ya and just wanted to make sure everyone knows our new expanded hours. We now have 2 sessions every Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. Session 1 is 9:30a-11:00a and session 2 is 11:30a-1:00p. Thanks!

    1. Thanks for letting me know! I updated the calendar with the new sessions. We haven't made it down there yet but I hope to soon. I've been hearing great things about it. I can't wait to try it out and post about it on here.
