It’s time to do something.

King County is a place for doers. From dining in Bellevue to cycling in Renton to sipping in Woodinville to shopping in Seattle, it’s time to head out the door and treat yourself to doing – safely, of course. You need it. Grab a coffee to go, dine outside, visit a museum, or book a hotel stay nearby. You can revisit an old favorite or find a new one. There’s a range of “somethings” for you to do and after the toll they’ve taken over the past several months, bakeries, museums, restaurants, hotels, plant shops, and your other local favorites need it too. So get out, mask up, and do something.

These local business owners are hoping that you get out and do something:
