May 2015 - Stadium Place Blog

It’s Spring clean time! Or at least it was a couple of weekends ago in Pioneer Square. Something we absolutely love here at Stadium Place is being part of our neighborhood, whether that’s by partnering with local businesses, promoting local vendors or joining a good cause in the neighborhood. Which is why when we heard that Alliance for Pioneer Square was putting on their annual Pioneer Square Spring Clean, our team could not pass up the opportunity to roll up our sleeves and help out again this year!

Spring Clean Volunteers May 2015

We joined our neighbors, community leaders, and other business owners and gathered bright and early at Occidental Park to help make our neighborhood an even more beautiful place to live.

Brittany, Zenani and Sydney ready to clean!

Our team got their hands dirty weeding, pickup up garbage and painting out graffiti. It’s not glamorous work but it was lots of fun to be out with our neighbors making our community beautiful!

We love Cinco de Mayo in Seattle! That means all the great Mexican joints nearby have food and drink specials. So if you are still trying to decide, here is our favorite and what they have to offer this Cinco de Mayo:

One of our absolute favorite Mexican restaurants. The best part is, they have Cinco de Mayo food and drink specials starting at 3 p.m., including $4 ceviche, $3 tacos and $6 tap margaritas!

But if you’ve decided that the rainy weather we have today in Seattle isn’t your ideal Cinco de Mayo day to go out, you can always do your own fiesta at home! Invite a couple of friends and tell your roommate to get ready because your place is going to host an epic Cinco de Mayo FIESTA and we’ll help make sure that happens.

We have the best Cinco de Mayo food and drink recipes to help you throw an unforgettable party.

It all starts with the food…

Tequila. We can’t forget about the tequila! The good thing about REALLY good tequila is that you don’t need lime or salt. Try Espolon Blanco, Milagro, Don Julio Real or Centenario, but there are many other good ones.
