Welcome to a new week Puyallup! April showers bring May flowers. It has been a very rainy last couple of months, and as April comes to an end I’m sure many of you are looking forward to sunnier days. It’s the time of the year where tulip farms are filled with rows of colorful flowers, the pink cherry blossoms have graced our streets, and we start to see just a little bit of the sun between rain showers. We hope that you made it to the Washington State Spring Fair and had a memorable time. There are several events in Puyallup this week that you won’t want to miss.

The Puyallup Farmer’s Market is a popular community event.

Weather/Parks
Click here for this week’s weather forecast. Make sure to make the most of the sun breaks and hit the trails or parks! Puyallup Parks are a great place to visit in the spring. Each different park offers a different vibe and atmosphere. From family-friendly, to exercise, to biking, to covered in trees, to lakes and streams, Puyallup parks have you covered. The weather is supposed to clear up this weekend so get out there and enjoy mother nature (but bring your rain boots/jackets just in case).
