About The Publisher:

The Olympic Peninsula is a place where nature and community come together to create an unforgettable setting for families. From the misty shores of La Push to the sunny fields of Sequim, from historic Port Townsend to vibrant Port Angeles, the region offers endless opportunities for adventure, learning, and connection.

Surrounded by the Pacific Ocean, the Salish Sea, and the towering Olympic Mountains, this corner of Washington is a sanctuary for those who value the outdoors, small-town charm, and the magic of childhood. Whether you're exploring tide pools, hiking rainforest trails, visiting a farm, or enjoying a local festival, every day can be an experience.

For families and those who work with kids, the Olympic Peninsula is more than just beautiful—it's rich with opportunities to play, grow, and build community. Parks, libraries, museums, recreation centers, youth programs, and family-friendly events are everywhere—but finding them all can take time and effort.

That’s where Macaroni KID Olympic Peninsula comes in! We’re your one-stop resource for discovering the best local events, activities, and opportunities for kids and families. From parenting tips to seasonal festivals, from storytimes to camps, we help families—and those who support them—stay connected and in the know.

Whether you're raising a family here or working to enrich the lives of children, we make it easier to explore, engage, and enjoy everything the Olympic Peninsula has to offer.

Macaroni KID Olympic Peninsula is dedicated to delivering the scoop on all the family-friendly events happening locally. And it's FREE!  You can check the website anytime, and better yet, become a Subscriber and have a weekly eNewsletter delivered directly to your in-box every Friday morning.

As a mother and a part-time co-director of a non-profit, I am familiar with the challenges of balancing work and play. When time is carved out to play and enjoy time with my family, I want to know what's going on to see what new, exciting, or interesting experience we would like to share together. When my kids were very young, I rifled through newspapers, brochures and visitor's guides, surfed the internet, kept my eyes open for fliers and posters, and kept my ears open for what other moms are talking about and doing with their kids. Macaroni KID does all of this for you and helps busy parents really discover all the stimulating, enriching, educational, and fun things to do with their kids and as a family.

I have my finger on  the pulse of family fun events going on throughout Olympic Peninsula and will share them  with you. We have become the very best resource of its kind around.

Join me, and thousands of other families, on this journey as we all look for ways to have fun with our kids, entertain our kids, educate them, stimulate them, enjoy being with our kids, make memories, and watch them grow …. on Olympic Peninsula.
