The sun is shining over Phinney Ridge and Greenwood (at least right at this moment), and there are plenty of fun things to do in the neighborhood this long holiday weekend. Here are a few highlights, but you can always check our Events calendar for more.
The Phinney Farmers Market is from 3-7 p.m. Friday in the upper parking lot of the Phinney Neighborhood Center. Fruits, veggies, nuts, ice cream, soup, meat, cheese, pasta, and ready-made food in the form of pizza, quesadillas and tamales, and new grilled cheese sandwiches from The Grilled Cheese Experience.

You may be able to see a bit of the 4th of July fireworks on Lake Union from our neighborhood, if you’ve got a rooftop deck. The Family 4th at Lake Union celebration starts at 12 p.m. Monday at Gas Works Park, with the fireworks starting at 10:10 p.m. An estimated 50,000 people are expected at the park, and another 50,000 at various viewpoints around the lake.
