Know what you need, Seattle? Egg hunts. Egg hunts for days.

It appears that this weekend is Easter, and every park and its brother is having an egg hunt. They’re not actual eggs, of course, because of food safety concerns and the possible fog of decaying egg smell that would hover over the city for days if any were left behind, but candy and things are probably more fun to find. Picking and choosing must be hard (there’s a huge list of events here, but if I had kids, grandkids, nieces or nephews–or, hell, all of the above–I’d take them to anything with a flashlight and maybe also one of these:
