Online Spring Auction –
Savings on Vacation Getaways, Summer Fun & more
We are getting closer & closer to summer, I can just feel it! The countdown is definitely on in our house as it’s just a month away till school is out. If you’re like me, you’re planning out all your adventures & vacations, but those can get pricey, so I am always on the hunt for deals for summer fun. One place we have found some great deals for local adventures & vacations is thru the Online Spring Auction with Spirit 105.3 & Praise 106.5.
An online auction is similar to a regular auction, but you don’t have to leave your house and you can take the time you need to research the items & make your bid, without the pressure of a live auction. The savings can be significant, too, for things such as vacation getaways, family fun activities, & more that may be harder to find discounts typically.
Spirit 105.3, a local Seattle radio station, is back with their twice a year Spirit e-Auction and this is its third week! They are joined by the other local radio station, Praise 106.5, so there are now 2 auction sites.
Here are the two auction sites::
The auctions will last for 4 weeks with different items up for bid each week! The final bidding will end on Monday May 22, 2016 at 10am for this round. It’s easy to start bidding – just create a quick profile and then you’re ready to bid! You can find out more about how the Spirit eAuction works by checking out this fun video on YouTube. There are also some helpful tips on the Spirit 105.3 blog – with tips such as using the Auto-Bid feature, so you can lock in the set amount you want to spend & bid to, to help stay in your budget.
You can see all the items up for bid in the auction when you look by category at different items & it will have a blue button (instead of a “Bid Now” green button) . Bidding for this week’s auction items ends on Monday May 22, 2017 at 10am.

Family Fun Activities::
Bellevue Challenge Course and Zip Tour – There are tickets for both adults & youth, for the Zip tour as well as the high ropes course. It can be hard to find adventures to do with older kids and teenagers, so I think this sounds like a really fun adventure to try with your older kids if you are looking for a fun staycation type of special memory to make together.
Mt Rainier Railroad and Logging Museum – The Mt Rainier Railroad & Logging museum is a fun way to experience a close-up view of Mt Rainier, as its in the little town just outside of the Mt Rainier National Park gates & the train will take you on an excursion along the river with views of the mtn. A great way to start a trip to Mt Rainier if you’re headed that way. It’s a 2 hour steam train excursion. This is good from May – October 2017.
