Patch Picks For Mother's Day

Sunday, May 8th is Mother's Day. Here's some locally-grown ideas to honor special moms on their big day.

Sky Nursery  18528 Aurora Avenue North, Shoreline, WA 98133. The Nursery is on the right hand side just after the intersection of 185th Street. The new entrance is on the North side of the parking lot.  Sky is by far one of the biggest nurseries in the whole Seattle area.  Bring Mom and delight her with some of the best Mother's Day gifts available, hanging baskets, planted containers, fountains, birdbaths, orchids and more.  You can even surprise her with a gift card or a specially designed container of her favorite flowers.  If you want to call ahead to make an appointment or for pricing their number is (206) 546-4851

Burke Gilman Trail can be accessed across the highway from Starbucks at 17039 Northeast Bothell Way.  Take mom on a nice long walk or bike ride, if the weather permits, and enjoy her company and the scenery.

VSP Jewelry Design Gallery is located at the lower mall level of LFP Town Center, 17171 Bothell Way, NE.  At VSP Jewelry you can buy Mom a $50 gift certificate and they will throw in a 30 inch strand of fresh water pearls.   Since time is of the essence, VSP Jewelry might be able to design custom made earrings or a pendant, depending on if they have the materials on site and available.       

is located at 1843 NW 195^th St. Shoreline, 98177 and can be reached by phone for reservations at (206) 542-6353.  They offer a fabulous brunch starting at 9am. Mom can choose from an array of tasty meals starting at prices as low as $10.  

Train Museum If you are up for a drive the Snoqualmie train depot and museum are a favorite place for many mothers with young families.  They are located at 38625 SE King Street in Snoqualmie and faces SR 202 (Railroad Avenue). Mom and family can take the 65min excursion to North Bend and back to Snoqualmie.  The views are amazing and the trains themselves are beautifully restored, a true treat for the whole family.
