This weekend don't miss the train!

One weekend idea is to catch the Mount Rainier Scenic Railroad -- which is sure to be fun for the whole family! If that doesn't work -- go to the Bubble Festival.

And be sure to pick up some fresh fruit and veggies at the Olympia Farmers Market -- which is celebrating it's 50th anniverary on Saturday!
