The Highline Botanical Garden in SeaTac, Washington

Explore a Garden Full of Stories

The Highline SeaTac Botanical Garden, which is free and open to the public, is a meaningful choice for Mother's Day because it embodies the spirit of legacy. This tranquil space features several private botanical collections that were donated by local residents who had spent a lifetime cultivating their gardens and wanted future generations to enjoy them.

  • The Elda Behm Paradise Garden was once the property of a local couple. The colorful oasis features an ADA-accessible path that winds past flowing streams, a still pond, and a rustic pergola.
  • The Hicks Rhododendron & Azalea Garden was donated by a local gardener on his 90th birthday, and is blooming throughout spring.
  • The Seike Japanese Garden once belonged to a local family who owned a beloved nursery. Spring brings a special sight as the lacy leaves of the Japanese maples burst forth in vibrant red.

Plan a Shopping and Lunch Date

Take the mom in your life on a shopping date at Westfield Southcenter Mall, and buy her a gift while you're at it. Whether she’s into fashion, beauty, or cute Kawaii knick-knacks, the mall offers a huge range of stores to explore together. Check out popular stores like Nordstrom, Macy's, and Uniqlo, beauty destinations like LUSH and Sephora, specialty shoe stores like ALDO and Dr. Martens, and a number of different jewelers.

After browsing the latest styles and snagging a few gifts, take a well-deserved lunch break at JOEY Southcenter, where the chic ambiance and delicious menu make every meal feel special. They offer free sparkling wine when you walk in, and also make a mean mocktail. For lunch, we recommend a salad bowl or sushi.

If Mom is craving something else, Westfield offers many other dining spots, like Mr. Dim Sum, Din Tai Fung, or Duke's Seafood. You'll have no shortage of good options.

Bonus: Catch a movie at AMC Southcenter after lunch. You don't even need to leave the mall!

Unique Experiences

We love a good microadventure—short, memorable excursions you can fit into a couple of hours or less. Below are a just a few of our favorites.

Have Afternoon Tea

What is it about being served treats in a tiered tray that makes everyone feel like a queen? Take your mom to Afternoon Tea at Marina Mercantile, a quaint cafe and specialty store in downtown Des Moines. In addition to sipping on specialty teas, you'll enjoy scones and other goodies baked from scratch by the owner. We've tried them, and they're some of the best baked goods this side of the Cascades. The Mother's Day Tea comes with three flavors of finger sandwiches, a cup of soup, scones with clotted cream and jam, and a selection of tea-time treats.

Be sure to book in advance!

参观巧克力工厂

What could be more fitting for Mother's Day than touring a chocolate factory run by a mother and daughter duo? At Seattle Chocolate Factory in Tukwila, you can see how our region's favorite truffles are made. The brand, which was recently renamed Maeve after a fiery Irish Warrior Queen, is headed by owner Jean Thompson and her daughter Ellie. The company is also committed to empowering women and girls through its charitable partnerships and ethical sourcing. Book a tour with your mom to learn more about the sourcing, get an insider's view of the chocolate-making process, and sample a variety of unique chocolate creations. Tours fill up fast, so you'll want to book yours in advance!

Sip Mimosas on the Waterfront

Combine the beauty of the outdoors with the decadence of brunch at Quarterdeck in Des Moines. At this seaside cafe and bar, you can share a mimosa flight and sample four different kinds of bubbly mimosas in elegant four-ounce pours. Try strawberry, POG, peach, and orange, and compare which ones are your favorites. Quarterdeck opens at 9 a.m. on weekends, so you can get there on the early side. Nibble on a warm breakfast sandwich while taking in a view of Puget Sound. Afterwards, you can take a walk at Des Moines Beach Park, or stroll out onto the pier at the Des Moines Marina. Breathe in the fresh ocean air while getting in quality time with mom in your life.

飞行博物馆

The Museum of Flight is offering free admission to all moms this Mother's Day! Explore the history of aviation and spaceflight at this sprawling museum. Kids and adults will both enjoy walking under giant planes in the Great Gallery, climbing inside vintage planes, and learning about the innovators and heroic figures who've advanced the field of air and space travel. Bonus: the cafe has both kid and adult friendly meals, and plenty of outdoor seating on the sunny patio right next to Boeing Field. Post up at a picnic table large enough for a whole group, and watch planes take off and land!
