On Saturday, Oct. 7, the Museum of Flight welcomes friendly visitors from all galaxies, no matter how far, far away, as it participates in Disney Publishing Worldwide’s Star Wars Reads Day.
Star Wars characters will be roaming the galleries. Family activities include arts and crafts under the Blackbird spyplane and story telling in an Ewok village. All are encouraged to wear their favorite intergalactic garb. Events are included with admission to the museum, 9404 E. Marginal Way S., Tukwila.
