WSBKeymasterHi there – the forum is particularly quiet on sunny weekends so you might not get member responses until Monday or so. Since we keep a comprehensive calendar at
https://westseattleblog.com/events
I can suggest a few things – this is a recurring Monday morning event:

This city brochure mentions the “toddler gyms” at two West Seattle city-run community centers on Mondays (ages 5 and under):

If you can spare some time, the bigger community center brochure (lots and lots of activities for all ages) is worth a browse – it covers all the WS community centers:

That’s a start, anyway. Good luck!

JeannieParticipantOf course, if the weather’s decent, you can take the little girls to Lincoln Park. There are several playgrounds, plus plenty of space to romp and enjoy nature.

And with the nice weather, we have some GREAT parks around. Ercolini is really good for their ages at 48th Ave. SW & SW Alaska. And Lincoln park is a great suggestion above, particularly the southend play area with the Zipline. “Whale Tail” park down by Alki is a fun one and then you can also walk to the beach to play in the sand. If you are near the south end of WS, Steve Cox park in White Center is also very good.
If you are the adventurous type, Jefferson park on the top of Columbia (just across the bridge) is a family favorite for us.
Have fun!
