Your Guide to July 2026 in Seattle

Today on the show, host Jane C. Hu is joined by producers Ashley Smith, Sam J. Leeds, and Liam Billingham to discuss all the best things to do in July. Liam requests recommendations for day trips on the ferry, and the team delivers: from a popsicle stand on Vashon to one square inch of silence in the Hoh Rain Forest. Plus, they discuss summer hikes, including the gorgeous turquoise Diablo Lake and Jane’s tip to check out hidden gems in Teanaway. Then, Sam gives a history of the surprisingly chaotic origins of Seafair, including literally setting ships on fire in Elliott Bay. Liam asks the great philosophical question of our times: can a rave be in the morning if it hasn’t started the night before? And finally, everyone runs through the month's best events like free movies at Northwest Film Forum, a fashion show on decommissioned railroad tracks, a 206-mile bike ride to Portland, and a dance night for the Swifties.
