Field Trips Local to Western Washington

Here it is friends!  These were all the field trips I could think of.  I searched the web high and low and couldn’t find a simple list with links so I decided I needed my own.  I hope this will be really helpful to all homeschoolers.  If you don’t live in Washington state you are sure to come up with ideas from this list but also check out my simple list posted HERE.  If you would like a listing of all the Washington state museums visit HERE.

Washington State Museums

This has become a very large project for me.  I still have not finished all the links but it is time to post the museums here in Washington state.  I couldn’t find a list anywhere online that had direct links and a complete listing of museums.  If you share this list or copy it please credit 10odigits.com for the work.  This extensive list is in alphabetical order with the city listed.  Over time the links will get done.  To see a list of museums that offer free admission click HERE and if you are looking for ideas for field trips visit HERE.  Thank you for stopping by!

(Space is limited pre-register by 2/15/10)
Day at Capitol 2010 registration packet
Hosted by: Christian Homeschool Network & Christian Heritage Home  Educators of Washington

“In order to stand up for our homeschooling freedoms we need to stand together, we need to be informed, and most importantly, we need to come to Olympia and let our voices be heard!

Now is our chance to honor the men and women of the legislature who serve us.  They enact laws that impact our families and our future. Homeschool laws can have a more direct effect on our families than any other legislation.  It is important for us to share how much we value the freedom they have helped us to preserve. Take a break from your regular school day and join us in Olympia to honor the hardworking men and women of the legislature.

The Home Educators’ Day at the Capitol is a great educational experience for the whole family.

Join hundreds of home educators from across the state and stand united in celebrating our freedom to home educate our children. Be encouraged as you hear from legislators, state homeschool leaders, and others who applaud your efforts.  Attend a civic workshops (youth to adult), take a tour of the Capitol, meet with your legislators, get an up-to-date legislative report from CHN’s on-site volunteer lobbyist and get involved in the legislative process.

Homeschoolers will  again be surprising their representatives and senators by serving them homemade apple pies!   Sign up today to bring your pie:  http://saintevents.com/pieregistration.asp

Preserving homeschool freedoms for today and tomorrow!”
