Plus tons of great classes through the Lynnwood Recreation Center and don't forget we're still looking for entries for this year's themed art exhibit "It's Not Easy Being Green".
 Looking for some great free activities to do with the kids and family this summer? How about heading down to Lynndale Park for WonderStage and Shakespeare in the Park.
