Where to send your kids if Seattle teachers strike on Monday
You may not have to keep your kids home if the teachers strike continues this week. Here are some options.
- Boys & Girls Club (select sites)
Eligible: Families already signed up with B&G. New families may go to the Rotary Club at 201 19th Ave, 206-436-1880.
Where: Wallingford, Rainier Vista, MLK, Ballard, View Ridge, North Seattle
When: 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Cost: $25/day
- City of Seattle drop-in centers for students ages 5-12: FREE!
These sites are all currently full with waitlists. Slots may come open however, so it’s worth checking. This was tricky for me to navigate, so I’ll spell out what I did: First, I created an account with the city, then clicked through to this press release. I scrolled down to the drop-in centers where these “strike recreation activity hubs” are scheduled. If you are logged in, it should let you add the activity to your cart.
- Pinnacle Explorations Strike Camp

When: 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Cost: $85/day
