Seattle Parks has scrambled egg hunts from across central Seattle this Easter into one big celebration on Capitol Hill.
The free hunt for kids 1-11 will take over Cal Anderson Park on Saturday, April 7 from 10a to noon. It’s an early holiday this year — Easter Sunday is, indeed, April 8.
Typically held at the various community centers in the area, the combined 2012 event is touted as “the greatest egg hunt ever!” It’s also a byproduct, of course, of continued belt tightening with the city department responsible for Seattle’s open spaces. But let’s not worry about that. Let’s talk about plastic eggs filled with candy, stickers and fun.
The notice for the event says donations are accepted — it would be cool to provide Cal Anderson basket toters with some uniquely Capitol Hill goodies. In the past, the community centers were also in need of volunteers to help the hunts go smoothly.
