Woodland Park Zoo, SeattleLocated in the heart of the Pacific Northwest, Seattle’s Woodland Park Zoo hosts one of the most celebrated musical traditions in the region: the annual ZooTunes summer concert series. For over four decades, this 92-acre wildlife oasis has transformed its picturesque North Meadow into an open-air amphitheater. Music lovers can spread out a picnic blanket on the grass and enjoy performances by major indie rock, folk, and pop artists. Legendary performers like Belle and Sebastian, Jason Isbell, and Ani DiFranco have graced the stage here, surrounded by towering trees and the distant sounds of nature. Even better, all ticket sales directly fund the zoo’s animal care and global wildlife conservation initiatives, making it a guilt-free evening of premium entertainment. Woodland Park Zoo
