Timber! Outdoor Music Festival, happening July 26 and 27 in Carnation, WA, is a mini-festival out in the wilderness, off the beaten path, and tickets are selling out fast. There are so many draws to this event--bands, camping, hiking, mountain biking, stargazing with a UW astrophysics professor, optional swimming, multiple bonfires, and family-friendly accommodations. In fact, there's even a concert just for the kids on Saturday morning, after the Friday night madness. Oh, and the camping options are many--there will be an RV campground, yurts available to rent, and normal and quiet camping options, the later recommended for families bringing children.
