It's August, which means there's only about a month left of summer! Not sure how to make the most of it? Well, you're in the right place. Here is your guide to all things Seattle summer including restaurant/bar recommendations to soak up the remainder of the sunny days Seattle has to offer before fall. 

Seafair weekend has passed, but that doesn't mean there isn't more to enjoy on the water. Head to one of the public access beaches listed here to enjoy the lake or the sound. All these spots are also great for water sports such as kayaking and paddle boarding - if you have access to a boat, some have boat entryways. 

Being a city known for some great music, there are plenty of opportunities to catch an outdoor concert this summer. Until August 23rd, Zootunes - an outdoor concert series at the Woodland Park Zoo is going on featuring some incredible artists. Day-in-Day out Festival is also going on from August 12-13 with artists including Bon Iver, Leon Bridges, and Dominic Fike. Also, check out the websites for Lumen Field, Marymoor Live, and Chateau Ste. Michelle for more concerts coming to Seattle the remainder of summer.
