Mix & Match Microadventures
Create your perfect Seattle Southside adventure by combining different microadventures.
What the heck is a microadventure?
If someone mentions adventure it probably sounds exciting, daring, even thrilling, but it also might sound difficult or challenging. Microadventures on the other hand, don’t have to be, and they’re all around us. Because they’re all the wonderful things in our own backyards that we’re sometimes too busy to notice. Microadventures are also core to Seattle Southside. Here people can be open, curious and step out of their comfort zones. They can do something as simple as enjoying a mead tasting flight, or as daring as diving off the coast of Des Moines.
