Summer Movies

When we were growing up it was fun to go to a drive in movie and sit in your car with your family or your friends and watch a movie. The excitement of being out on a warm summer night was enticing and felt a little bit decadent. Especially if this was an occasional activity. In many households this was a special activity that happened only once or twice a summer.

Well Seattle now offers many options for outdoor summer movies. There are family friendly movies, cult favorites and of course "Star Wars" movies.

So put it on your calendar, pack some snacks and blankets and head out to sit under the stars and watch your favorites or maybe a new to you movie.
