As the weather warms up and the flowers begin to bloom, spring marks a time of renewal and new beginnings. One of the best ways to embrace this season is by refreshing your wardrobe, home décor and everyday essentials.
Whether you’re looking to revamp your style or simply stock up on seasonal must-haves, there’s no better time to hit the stores and shop ’til you drop. Here are eight recommendations to get you ready for spring…

- Grab a beverage or meal outside
As the temperature outside starts to warm up, visiting with friends and family over food is a wonderful way to appreciate the beauty of spring. Eating outside is often linked with reduced stress levels and calmness. Consider a meal under the canopies at Agave Cocina & Tequilas, Big Fish Grill or The Ram Restaurant & Bar. Stop by Ben & Jerry’s for ice cream on a warm day, followed by a walk around Grand Ridge Plaza.

Plus, enjoy the nice weather with yard games like cornhole, spikeball, badminton, disc golf, bocce ball and others.

- Stock up on pet essentials
Spring is the perfect time to take your pup on a hike with you! Drop by Mud Bay to find collapsible water bowls, retractable leashes, rain ponchos, lightweight harnesses and lots of treats for your furry friend. Plus, if your dog tends to get tired before the hike is over, consider getting a backpack dog carrier to finish the trip.
- Get a fresh makeover
Boost your confidence this spring with a new haircut, nail design, full-body wax or tanning session. Winter weather can take a toll on your hair and skin, so make an appointment with Great Clips, Seattle Sun Tan, Sorella Salon & Spa, European Wax Center for your spring refresh.
