Seattle Japanese Garden Free First Thursday
The Seattle Japanese Garden opens free on the first Thursday of August, giving you a chance to walk its 3.5 acres of formal gardens, bridges, and pond without paying. It's the kind of place where you can actually slow down—stone lanterns, seasonal plants, the whole thing designed to make you notice what's in front of you—and it's tucked into the Washington Park Arboretum in Eastlake.

Recurs: First Thursday of each month
