Cinco de Mayo is coming up in a couple of days. While this holiday may not show up on your radar, it is a great day to get out and enjoy the city. Seattle Children's Museum at Seattle Center has a celebration of Mexico's independence day as well lots of kids activities from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Adults might want to hop aboard the Queen of Seattle for a Cinco de Mayo cruise, or catch the late show at Teatro Zinzanni.

Taco Time NW has a special deal on to celebrate Cinco de Mayo in the Seattle-Tacoma area. Get five crispy beef tacos for $5 on May 5. Sadly for vegetarians or those who avoid red meat, the deal is only on for beef tacos. Taco Time locations are scattered all throughout Western Washington.

BoltBus will soon offer a whole new way to travel between Seattle and Portland. With $1 fares, Wi-Fi, and increased legroom, BoltBus means there's finally a cheap way to travel between these two Northwest cities that's also comfortable!

The Seattle BoltBus station will be at 5^th Avenue South and King Street. The Portland BoltBus station will be at 647 SW Salmon Street.
