Summer Activities Around Seattle for Seniors

Summer in Seattle is a beautiful time of year, especially for seniors looking to stay active, enjoy the outdoors, and connect with their community. At CRISTA Senior Living, we believe vibrant, engaging lifestyles shouldn’t stop with age. Our residents enjoy a range of summer activities–both on campus and around the city–that add variety and fun to everyday life.

Great Summer Activities Around Seattle

Whether you’re already part of our community or are currently exploring senior living options in Seattle, here are some great summer activities around the city—and how CRISTA helps make them accessible and fun.

Scenic Walks and Nature Outings

The beautiful campuses at Cristwood Park in Shoreline, WA, and Crista Shores in Silverdale, WA, are perfect for daily walks. However, the summer season also brings opportunities to explore nearby spots like the Edmonds Marina Beach, Silverdale Waterfront Park, or Magnuson Park.

Local Farmers Market Visits

Summer in Seattle means farmers’ markets in nearly every neighborhood. CRISTA Senior Living often schedules group trips to local favorites like the Shoreline Farmers Market, just minutes from our Shoreline campus. Check out our blog with more information on local farmers markets.

Museum and Gallery Trips

From the Seattle Art Museum to the Museum of History and Industry, the city’s cultural institutions offer engaging and accessible experiences for seniors. CRISTA coordinates regular outings and trips for residents who enjoy learning, exploring, and appreciating the arts. These trips are relaxed, accessible, and offer a great change of pace—plus they spark plenty of great conversation afterward.

Outdoor Fitness and Wellness

At CRISTA Senior Living, we prioritize wellness in all seasons. During the summer, we offer outdoor fitness classes such as chair yoga and walking groups at both of our campuses. These activities suit all mobility levels, promote physical health, balance, and relaxation, and are perfect for a sunny Seattle day.

On-Campus Concerts and Events

Enjoying summer shouldn’t always require leaving home, so we bring the season’s best experiences right to our residents. Throughout the summer, our campus comes alive with outdoor concerts, community barbecues, and various social gatherings designed to foster connection and fun. One of the standout events is Summer Fest. This much-anticipated celebration brings residents, staff, and guests together for a day filled with music, food, and festivities.

One highlight of this festival is our Classic Car Show, which draws a nostalgic lineup of vintage vehicles. Residents can stroll through the display, chat with car owners, and enjoy live entertainment in a lively, open-air setting. Whether it’s upbeat music, delicious food, or simply spending time with friends and neighbors, Summer Fest captures the spirit of community and the lifestyle we value at CRISTA.

Faith-Based Community and Enrichment

As a Christian senior living community, faith and fellowship are central to our daily lives. CRISTA offers more than just activities—we provide spiritual connection. From outdoor devotionals to special summer worship events, residents can grow in faith while enjoying the season’s beauty in fellowship with others.
