BHT’s Seattle Summer Passport Savings Picks

Seattle summers are beautiful but short! A sunny weekend can fill up fast with lunch plans, ball games, time on the water, and last-minute road trips.

Passport can help more of those plans fit the budget.

Employees with access to Passport through Business Health Trust can find savings across three main categories: Dine, Shop, and Travel. Right now, several Seattle-area offers stand out for summer.

Whether you’re planning a simple dinner out or a full weekend away, it’s worth checking Passport before you book.

Dine: Turn an ordinary meal into a summer outing

Good weather makes almost any meal feel like an occasion.

For an easy lunch to take to the park, Just Poké offers 20% off the guest check on to-go orders. Paseo Sandwiches is another strong choice for a casual summer meal, with 20% off the total guest check and maximum savings of $50. The Paseo offer also includes 10% off delivery.

Planning dinner instead? SuperKim Crab House offers 20% off the total guest check, with maximum savings of $100. That’s one of the larger dining savings currently available in Seattle.

Racha Noodle & Thai is also worth a look. When two people dine together, one entrée is complimentary with the purchase of another entrée of equal or greater value. Solo diners and to-go orders receive 20% off.

Summer and barbecue are a natural match, and Jack’s BBQ offers 20% off the total guest check, with maximum savings of $50.

Not every outing needs to be a full meal. Mighty-O Donuts has a buy-one, get-one-free offer that works well for a weekend coffee stop, a family treat, or something to bring to the office.

These offers also make it easier to try a restaurant you haven’t visited before. Instead of returning to the same few places, open Passport and see what’s nearby.

Shop: Save on gear, tickets, and family activities

The Shop category covers more than traditional retail. It also includes local entertainment, sports, camps, rentals, and other experiences.

One of the best summer offers is 40% off Seattle Storm tickets purchased online. It’s an easy way to plan a game with friends, family, or coworkers while keeping ticket costs down.

For a warm-weather family outing, Passport lists a $42.99 adult main gate ticket for Wild Waves Theme & Water Park. The regular price shown is $69.99, making this one of the largest dollar savings among the local summer activities.

Outdoor plans may also call for new gear or a rental. evo offers 20% off full-price products, services, and rentals when purchased in-store. Ascent Outdoors Seattle offers 15% off retail gear and 15% off outdoor rentals.

Those savings could help with anything from a first camping trip to a day on the trail. They also give employees a chance to rent equipment before deciding whether it’s worth buying.

For a mountain day that doesn’t involve snow, the Summit at Snoqualmie offers 20% off the day-of price for bike park and scenic chairlift ride tickets. The discount applies no matter when members purchase.

Parents looking at summer programs can also save 15% on Camp Galileo. The Passport offer can be combined with Galileo’s multi-week discounts, which may make a bigger difference when booking more than one week.

And when the weather turns or you’d rather spend the evening indoors, The 5th Avenue Theatre offers savings of up to 25% on tickets.

Travel: Plan a day on the water or a weekend away

You don’t have to fly somewhere far away to get a change of scenery.

Argosy Cruises offers 15% off its Harbor Cruise, Locks Cruise, and Happy Hour Cruise. That makes it easier to see Seattle from the water, entertain visiting friends or relatives, or plan a summer afternoon that feels different from the usual weekend routine.

For a more private outing, The Electric Boat Company offers 15% off boat rentals. It could be a fun choice for a birthday, small group gathering, or relaxed day on the lake.

A Seattle staycation is another option. The Edgewater Hotel offers up to 20% off its best available rates. Just outside the city, The Lodge at St. Edward State Park offers up to 20% off its best flexible rate on new reservations.

Employees willing to drive a little farther have several strong weekend options.

Suncadia offers 20% off its best available rate. The offer also includes 20% off golf Monday through Thursday and 20% off spa treatments during those same days. On Fridays through Sundays, guests can receive a complimentary enhancement with an eligible 80-minute spa treatment.

Alderbrook Resort & Spa also offers 20% off its best available rate, along with 20% off at the spa and restaurant. That combination could make it a good choice for a summer anniversary, quiet weekend, or short Hood Canal getaway.

For something more active, Outer Island Whale Watching offers 20% off Whale & Orca Tours and Orca Only Tours in Anacortes or Orcas Island. The offer information also notes guaranteed sightings.

Passport can help at the airport, too. WallyPark Premier Airport Parking offers 30% off online rates at participating locations, including SeaTac. That’s the kind of discount that’s easy to overlook, but airport parking costs can add up quickly during a longer trip.

Check Passport before making your plans

Passport offers can change. Some deals also have maximum savings, reservation requirements, online-only instructions, blackout dates, or other restrictions.

Before heading out, open Passport and review the full offer and redemption instructions. For restaurants and businesses with several locations, make sure the location you plan to visit is included.

It only takes a minute, and it may uncover a discount you didn’t know was available.

Summer doesn’t have to revolve around one large vacation. Dinner outside, a Storm game, a boat ride, a day at Wild Waves, or one night away can give you something to look forward to.

Passport helps make those plans cost a little less.
