This Earth Day, make sure you don’t forget to shout out Earth for keeping us all grounded. Sorry, that pun was on a low-hanging branch.

Alright — all terra-ble jokes aside, Earth Day is on Tuesday, April 22 and many Seattle organizations and community groups are hosting events that celebrate our local natural wonders and working to keep them nice and green.

Let’s dig into a few highlights.

Earth Day at the Issaquah Salmon Hatchery | Saturday, April 19 | Learn about some of Washington’s most prolific animals by feeding some trout, doing a scavenger hunt, and helping with habitat restoration projects — we also hear that a mermaid will be in attendance.

Ladybug Festival | Saturday, April 26 | You’d be hard-pressed to find a cuter Earth Day event — help release hundreds of little ladybugs into the environment while learning about the importance of pollinators.

The Wrap

From our Editor

Don’t let me catfish you — I’m not a fisherman at all. Me and this salmon just look pretty good together.

Since we’re talking about salmon, I thought you all might enjoy my own take on those stereotypical fishing pics. Interestingly enough, it got less hits on my past dating profiles than my Dude costume from “The Big Lebowski.” It seems that folks prefer someone who can identify a tasteful rug more than someone who can provide their dinner and look good doing it.
