When we are blessed with the sun in the summer, Washingtonians love to go out in the water. Our main festival that we look forward to every year is Seafair. It’s the Northwest’s largest festival in Washington.

Washington watersports is a big pastime, especially when we get to actually see summer. The most popular sport that takes place at Seafair is the hydroplane races on Lake Washington. There are different events that you can take part in as well. Events are as follows, The Milk Carton Derby, the Seafair Triathlon, Fleet Week, and the Torchlight Parade. All of the events are fantastic.

If your family members find themselves happily exhausted from all the hiking, fishing, boating, cycling and swimming they have done at Banks Lake and the surrounding areas, Sunbanks Resort has the perfect activity. We specialize in family fun, and our 18-hole miniature golf course is proof of that commitment. The whole family can wind down with relaxing fun as they putt and play on our beautiful course.

Younger kids can learn the basics of golf while the adults practice their putting skills. At only $4 per person, our miniature golf is one of the most affordable Washington outdoor activities available at Sunbanks Resort. The course is located just north of the Lake View Villas and stays open until dusk. In addition, Sunbanks Resort is currently making improvements to its current playground, with an emphasis on safety in the redesign. Kids can enjoy forts, a slide and more when the new playground is completed in Spring 2009.
