Capitol Hill is a little preoccupied with a holiday of another sort this month so forgive us if we haven’t given an early Easter much thought. The good news is Seattle Parks has been planning and is ready to bring the fourth annual spring egg hunt to Cal Anderson on March 26th. Details on the hunt and a few more around the Hill, below.

I love these sort of community events but it’s really unfortunate that they’re all happening at the exact same time that parents should be at their local precinct caucuses voting!

(assuming that attending the egghunt is a religious, military or work obligation)
Given that they’re going to pains to avoid the “E-word”, and it’s the “Spring” Egg Hunt, seems like using this as a religious excuse for missing the caucus is really trying to have it both ways, isn’t it? Overdone political correctness can be SO tricky…..
Whhhhhyy is this exactly at the time of the caucus? I have to choose between my candidate for President or my kids. Thoughtless timing, organizers. We’ll be missing it this year, caucusing instead. Very sad. :(
