Summertime is a great time to improve your health and get in shape. In Seattle, it also means that, occasionally, the rain quits long enough for us to step outside and enjoy the natural world. So, for the first installment of this four-part column, we will look at some hiking trails around the Northwest that should get your feet moving.
The July 4th festivities that will commence this Monday afternoon/evening/night are a time-honored American tradition. Nothing quite says summer in the States like laying out a big blanket under the sun, flinging around a Frisbee and consuming exorbitant amounts of fried chicken, Waldorf salad and refreshing microbrew (or Miller High Life, if that’s your poison).
Dear Seattleite Readers,
Welcome to the Seattleite Book Club – the only virtual book club that spotlights the Pacific Northwest’s own authors and publishers!
Everyone’s favorite summer holiday is just days away. Celebrate your country’s independence — as well as your extra day of freedom from the office — with beautiful fireworks and a tasty meal.
There is a long weekend ahead and you are tired of the same old Independence Day festivities. How much red, white and blue jello salad can one person eat before they turn into a gelatinous hot mess capable of nothing greater than blowing up the neighbor’s mailbox with Roman Candles clandestinely purchased from a nearby fireworks stand?
As Americans, we enjoy broadcasting our “superiority” to the world – and quipping about our lesser international counterparts. Canada and its citizens are on the receiving end of our braggadocio a fair amount of the time, especially here in the proximate Northwest.
This summer, spend a luxurious night under the stars at the beautiful Destiny Ridge Vineyard, which overlooks the Columbia River in central Washington. This is glamping — glamorous camping — at its finest, amid the vines where Alexandria Nicole Cellars estate wines have their beginnings.
True Seattleites understand the value of a sunny day, and if you’re looking for a new hobby to incorporate into your summer recreation, military veteran Matt Butler has you covered.
