Stillness surrounds you as you soak in the hot tub and stare out at the fog rolling in over the snow-capped Coast Mountains of Whistler Blackcomb Ski Resort. It’s completely quiet — except for your loud, throbbing muscles, still screaming at you after six hours of exercise in a single day.
It’s a common summer dilemma. You want to look sleek in your swimsuit when those sunny days come — but tempting, sinful summer treats surround you. What can you do about the ubiquitous ice cream, hamburgers, and fried fair food?
Who doesn’t love a good road trip? Wind in your hair, sunglasses on, music blaring — and brilliant landscapes whizzing past your windows. Unfortunately, most of us have neither the time off nor the gas money to take a true cross-country excursion.
It’s an unlucky start for the Lucky Brand event in Bellevue when the stage collapses. Don’t worry, though — the show hasn’t started yet, so no models are injured.

Espadrilles are for everyone this spring. We see these rope-bottom shoes every time the weather gets warm, and this season they’re back — and revamped. You’ll see espadrilles fused with patent leathers, bold colors, animal prints, metallics and cutouts — in every style from flirty flats to sky-high platforms. Originally a peasant shoe of the Pyrenees, there’s now an espadrille for every occasion. Find these beauties at Nordstrom or Bellevue’s Tory Burch.
Sodo Park has established itself as one of the top go-to venues for Seattleites tying the knot.

Is that enough to entice you in?
