A clutch of barnacles waits to allure you this summer.

Welcome to the beginning of Seattle summer! Don't worry if you didn't make trail and camping reservations months ago - Seattle has a lot to offer procrastinators.

Ana Sofia Knauf of the Evergrey, Charlotte Spang of the Seattle Aquarium, and Nick Jarin from the Northwest Nerd Podcast joined Bill Radke in studio with a wealth of ideas, from barnacle hunting to cosplay chess.

And if all else fails, says Knauf, don't sleep on just drinking iced tea in your own backyard with friends. (You could also drink more adult substances on the water, in a potentially-illegal pastime called "caboozing.")
