Is your intelligence heightened after a good buzz? Do you have a keen (and rather embarrassing) knowledge of obscure information?

Maybe you haven’t made any plans for Christmas Eve yet, but know you don’t want to stay in that evening. Perhaps you’ve promised not to sit through yet another Christmas Eve dinner with Uncle Fred, who wears ugly sweaters and incessantly talks with his mouth full of turkey.

Sleek lines and a simple color scheme of silver and black complement the eatery’s lively staff, locally sourced menu and educated wine list. With these expectations, Erin and I once again
You may think you know everything about Seattle, but Seattle By Foot begs to differ. The group sponsors walking tours that allow you to explore the city’s nooks and crannies — even die-hard locals don’t about some of these locations. Seattle By Foot wants you to experience a whole new side of your hometown — and if you join them during the weekend, you’ll enjoy some fresh coffee while you’re at it.
