Ever since I moved to Seattle, I have passively wondered whether Seattle has a "free day."  When I lived in San Francisco, I took advantage of how the first Wednesday of every month many museums, the SF zoo, and other SF attractions were free and open to the public.  Being the frugal gal that I am, I have wondered whether Seattle offers such a thing.  Today I found out on the magical internet that, in fact, Seattle does.

The first Thursday of every month marks neighborhood art walks all over the Seattle area from Ballard, to Downtown, to Bainbridge Island. Galleries and shops stay open in the evening and showcase local artists and offer snacks.  As a part of the art walk, two major museums are free all day today.  Here is the scoop from Exploit Seattle:

The Seattle Art Museum and the Seattle Asian Art Museum offer free admission all day on these days. Starting January 3rd, EMP/Science Fiction Museum will also be offering free admission, which includes live music.

I am really excited about EMP and the Science Fiction Museum hopping on the free admission bandwagon on January 3.  Today, I believe I'll stroll over to SAM during my lunch break.
