Paid stuff

🏃‍♂️ Elevated Sportz (Bothell)

Price: $18 - $26

Elevated Sportz is everything trampolines, a ninja course, an interactive arcade, and a giant play structure that actually makes the car ride worth it. The place doesn’t just let kids bounce; they dodgeball, flip, cling to beams, and zip through a laser maze if that’s their vibe. For the little crew, there’s a Kidz Adventure zone made just for them.

Dining

🍻 Victor Tavern (Edmonds)

The Victor Tavern is Ethan Stowell’s kind of place where you can crush a great burger, sip a cold beer, or slide into cocktails and dinner without overthinking it. It’s laid-back, stylish, and built for actual humans who want good food without the fuss.

Kids are covered with coloring menus that buy you precious adult minutes, plus desserts that instantly turn you into the hero of the night. Perfect for after-work hangs, weekend meetups, or rolling in with the whole crew.
