Outside the window, the sun is shining and the birds are chirping. There is a change in the air. Spring is here and we\u2019ve most certainly turned the corner from the long, grey days of winter. Summer is coming soon.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\/><span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">People often ask us, \u201cWhere are you traveling to this summer?\u201d My reply is always an easy one. Each summer, when the weather is warm, the skies are blue, and outdoor activities abound, we try to stay as close to home as possible. Summer is also the season for Seattle&#8217;s booming outdoor music scene. From Chateau Ste.

Starting on June 13, the eclectic 2015 lineup includes a concert for every musical taste, including Sheryl Crow, Chicago, Harry Connick Jr., The Gypsy Kings, Smash Mouth, Toad the Wet Sprocket, and Tonic. Perhaps the best part of attending a concert at Chateau Ste. Michelle?
