A massive festival for pet lovers is returning to Seattle next spring
Puppies, cats, rabbits, and lizards, we love them all. If you’re also a pet person, Petpalooza in Auburn is where to be next May.
A quick 45-minute drive out of Downtown Seattle brings you to the special day designed just for animals and their human friends alike.
Kick-off your day with the activity that your dog loves best: running. Enter the dog trot at 9:30 am at Game Farm Park. Although the run is chip-timed, it’s still a family-oriented fun run that is enjoyable for all ages.

Participants of the run can choose to follow a 3K or a 5K route, with water available on both for dogs and their humans. The first hundred people to register will receive a free t-shirt as well as a goodie bag.
