At 2:05 p.m. – Seattle Kazoo Museum
If you can hum, you can play the kazoo. That may explain why the kazoo is seen more as a novelty gag than an actual musical instrument. But, Boaz Frankel hopes to change that perception. When he Frankel moved to Seattle a year ago for a new job, he brought with him a collection of kazoos. They range from metal to plastic, wood to electronic. And, they now make up Seattle's first Kazoo Museum.

At 2:20 p.m. – Running The Iditarod
Very few people can describe what it's like to see their dogs witness the Northern Lights for the first time. But Laura Daugereau can. She was there as her dogs looked up and stared at the Northern Lights this past February. That happened during their run of the Iditarod. It's a grueling sled dog race over more than 1,000 miles of Alaska's frozen interior. And Laura is the first woman from Washington state to complete it. But she dreamed of dogsledding long before her family showed up in the Pacific Northwest.
