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.

Where: MLK Fame Center (Madison Valley)

When: 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Cost: $85/day

Where: Good Shepherd Center (Wallingford), 4649 Sunnyside Ave N #121, Seattle, WA 98103

When: 9-4 & 8-6

Cost: Free to teachers

$80/day 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

$95/day 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
