Looking for something to do for Mother’s Day around the South Sound?
I have a list of mom-centric ideas here, but if you don’t find something, I also have an even bigger list of weekend fun for the whole family.
Make it for Mom
Make it; Take its at Michael’s A variety of craft projects kids can make for mom. Most are free with purchase of required supplies.

Moms ride free with any paying child, Mother’s Day weekend at the Northwest Railway Museum in Snoqualmie (Be sure to stop at the candy/ice cream shop).

Half-off admission for moms at Pt.Defiance Zoo Saturday, May 12th, plus many special activities. Expect a crowd at this one!
Treat Mom
Go here for my list of Mother’s Day teas. Check for dates and availability. Many are likely sold out, but who knows-you could get lucky!
Most every area restaurant will also host a special brunch. These are Pricey, but if you’re interested, here are a few worth checking out:
Mother’s Day Brunch with Mt.Rainier Scenic Railroad.
Mother’s Day Brunch at Lakewold Gardens
Mother’s Day Brunch at the Tacoma Art Museum (Note that the current gallery exhibit is on gender/sexuality and will be of interest to some but perhaps offensive to others. You make the call if you’re taking the mil).
For more traditional restaurant brunches, try Open Table to see what’s available.
Reservations are a must for all of these.
