So all during the rainy season, or whatever you call it around here, you can visit and stay dry. Just so you know what an important issue it is, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoo.org\">Woodland Park Zoo<\/a> offers free parking October through March and charges for parking the rest of the year. I usually go when I have to pay for parking, and can&#8217;t find parking either. But the aquarium is a great place to get a membership, because it&#8217;s fun to go there no matter what the weather is like.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a title=\"Cousins at the Aquarium by prayingmother, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/prayingmother\/9788006504\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7393\/9788006504_3df975a5eb.jpg\" alt=\"Cousins at the Aquarium\" width=\"500\" height=\"334\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It was a beautiful day in Seattle.
