'Tis the season to bask in the summer weather and it's almost time to celebrate Father's Day on Sunday, June 16. There are just two weekends to go, and we've put together some of the best things to do to celebrate dad on Father's Day. Maybe he needs another pair of socks, but what he truly deserves is some quality time and some summertime fun in the perfect base camp city. There's plenty of nature to see, amazing food to eat, and craft beverages to enjoy in Bellevue, Washington with dad. Reservations, if applicable, are recommended.
