From the Ballpark to the Bay: Discovering Summer Fun in Western Washington

Hey everyone!

Summer is here, and there’s no better time to dive into the endless activities Western Washington has to offer. Whether you’re a local or new to the area, there’s something for everyone. I recently had an incredible time at a Seattle Mariners game, and I’m excited to share more of my adventures around the Puget Sound with you!

A Day at the Ballpark

Thanks to Rob Rice Homes, I had the pleasure of joining their annual ball game night. Imagine this: 45 of us, all excited and ready for some baseball action, chartered up to Seattle and back. The Mariners game was thrilling—there’s something magical about the crack of the bat, the roar of the crowd, and enjoying a hot dog with friends. The evening ended with epic fireworks that lit up the sky, making the experience even more memorable. If you haven’t been to a Mariners game yet, I highly recommend it. It’s a great way to spend a summer evening with friends and family.

It was great hanging out with the team from Rob Rice Homes. Over the years, I’ve had the chance to work with them on several new construction projects, and I’ve always admired their dedication to quality and community. Joining them for the Mariners game was a fantastic way to relax and enjoy the summer while catching up with good friends and colleagues.

But the fun doesn’t stop at baseball. Here are a few more ideas to make the most of your summer in Thurston County:
