Gear for the Outdoorsy Dad
If Dad loves hiking, biking, rock climbing, skiing, and other outdoor sports, pick up some new gear for him from Outdoor Research's outlet store in Des Moines. Outdoor Research has a global following for its high-quality products, and it's based right here in the PNW.
Seattle Seawolves Gear
Rugby is one of the toughest sports out there, yet there's a heart and sportsmanship to the game that shows a sense of community and caring not found in many other competitive environments. What better symbol for a father who can be tough yet loving? A dad who's strong yet sweet? The Seattle Seawolves, our local Major League Rugby team, have tons of cool merchandise to help promote the game and show Dad you care. Check out their online store here.
Gift Cards
Sometimes your best bet is to buy a gift card to a local restaurant, museum, or one of dozens of stores at Westfield Southcenter Mall.

Local History at Highline Heritage Museum
If Dad is a history buff, take him to the Highline Heritage Museum, which is focused on local history and art. Together, you'll learn some of the fascinating lore of our area, from a giant sloth fossil dug up during the construction of Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA), to an exhibit all about D.B. Cooper, one of the most famous skyway robberies in U.S. history.
Golf at Foster Golf Links
Reserve your tee time at Foster Golf Links! This historic, beautiful course along the Duwamish River turned 100 in 2025, marking a century of community, tradition, and fun. After you're done with a round of golf, kick back with good eats and cold brews at Billy Baroo's Bar & Grill. It has some of the best outdoor patio seating in the region.
Take in a Race at Emerald Downs
Hear the pounding of hooves and test your luck at the races! Emerald Downs is the premier thoroughbred horse racing venue in the Pacific Northwest. Lots of delicious dining options are available in the park as well. If you want to have a "home base" at the track, you can reserve a seat in the grandstand or even rent a box or suite.
Get Bowled Over
Did you know that Seattle Southside is the bowling capital of the Northwest? With 70 lanes of bowling across several venues, we have tons of options for both family-friendly fun and more grown-up gatherings. Check out Bowlero, Round1 Bowling and Arcade, and the Family Fun Center to see which fits your fancy. All three have food and drinks as well.
Classic Car Show
If Dad loves cars, he'll love the Burien Father's Day Car Show! Admire vintage cars, muscle cars, and more at this annual, family-friendly event. It occurs at the same time as the annual Strawberry Festival, another sweet event with live music, a petting zoo, vendors, and activities for kids.
