2011 Central District egg hunts:The Seattle Parks Bunny is coming

Easter isn’t for a few weeks but better to plan ahead in matters of holiday candy. Plus, there are some decisions to be made. Kids have a few options for springtime egg hunts to consider. Below, we’ve included the 2011 roster of Seattle Parks-sponsored egg hunts around central Seattle. Are you planning a community hunt you want others to know about? Let us know in comments?
