we all look for ways to take our usual activities outside to enjoy the weather. Every year public parks and other venues around Seattle bring back one of our favorite seasonal traditions: outdoor screenings of movies under the stars. Some of our standbys include Seattle Center's Movies at the Mural (seattlecenter.com), where you can catch free flicks such as "Little Shop of Horrors" (8/11) and "Wonder Woman" (8/25) on a big screen beneath the Space Needle; Westlake Park's Summer Movies (seattle.gov) series, which brings "Star Wars: The Last Jedi" (8/3), "Hook" (8/17) and "Black Panther" (8/24) to the heart of downtown; and on the Eastside, Movies at Marymoor, where "Thor: Ragnarok" (8/8) and "Ferdinand" (8/15), to name but a few, come to the Redmond park's screen.

AVENGERS ASSEMBLE!

Fans of the Avengers can dive into the histories of their favorites and get up close to memorable costumes, props and artwork like the Black Panther costume worn

by Chadwick Boseman, Thor’s hammer, and Amazing Fantasy #15, featuring the first appearance of Spider-Man in a comic. Large interactive displays feature in-depth information on the formation and evolution of the Marvel team with features on key creators like Steve Ditko, Jack Kirby and, of course, the incomparable Stan Lee.

“Avengers fans can get up close to memorable artifacts like the Black Panther costume worn by Chadwick Boseman.”

(1) Photo op-ready Spider-Man statue (2) Luke Cage’s sweatshirt worn by Mike Colter (3) The rare “Marvel Comics #1” (4) Hela costume worn by Cate Blanchett (5) The mirrored walls of the Doctor Strange gallery (6) Classic Marvel comics cover art (7) Black Panther costume worn by Chadwick Boseman

COSMIC RAYS

No exploration of comics would be complete without a trip to the stars.

The cosmic super heroes protect the vast reaches of space, real and imagined.

Visitors can meet the Guardians of the Galaxy through Peter Quill’s cassette player, Gamora’s costume, and breathtaking bust of Groot. A detailed diagram shows the quirky (and complicated!) journey of Captain Marvel, while the magic of the Mirror Dimension is shown in a room devoted to Doctor Strange. The exhibition is accompanied by a gorgeous score written by Lorne Balfe and Hans Zimmer.

STREET LEVEL

Not all heroes wear capes.

In the Street Level section, guests see through the eyes of characters whose stories are grounded in the real world. Here, the history of Misty Knight can be found next to the powerful display of Luke Cage’s bullet-ridden hoodie. An artist studio designed to look like a garage houses original pages from Frank Miller’s death of Elektra story arc in Daredevil. Also on display are comics pages and portraits of private investigator Jessica Jones and sketches of the Punisher that reveal the artist’s original design.

HEROES AMONG US

Each MoPOP exhibition includes interactives, photo ops and Easter eggs for the biggest fans, and MARVEL: Universe of Super Heroes is no exception. Large statues invite guests to step into the action for a colorful photo. A wall of Iron Man’s suits leads to an interactive where guests, guided by artificial assistant J.A.R.V.I.S., can take the iconic suit for a digital spin. But not all displays are larger than life. Tucked into one wall is a holographic depiction of Ant-Man who runs across a desktop with his obedient ants.

ORIGIN STORY

Every hero needs an origin story, and Marvel’s impressive 80-year history makes a wonderful through line for the 10,000-square-foot exhibition. Guests are given a rare look at some of comic’s most influential pieces including Timely Comics first comic publication, Marvel Comics #1, and Fantastic Four #1.

Cover art, comics pages, and paintings cover nearly every wall with stand-out pieces like Todd McFarlane’s work on The Incredible Hulk and John Byrne’s cover for The Uncanny X-Men #136 from the famous “Dark Phoenix” saga.

Head outside the city limits with these five fantastic day trips.

By Haley Shapley

WHILE THERE'S NO SHORTAGE of fantastic things to do in Seattle, one of its greatest assets is all the diverse attractions you can reach within a day trip, whether by car, boat or floatplane.

has a special exhibit that tells the story of everyday ancient Egyptians through 300 original artifacts. Before you board the Clipper to return, stop by Chinatown’s Silk Road Tea to pick up a little memento to remember your visit by.

©MICHAEL BERTRAND; ©RICHARD DUVAL

TRUE NORTH Take advantage of Washington’s location in the upper left corner of the U.S. by hopping the border and hitting another country on your trip to Seattle. British Columbia’s Victoria, on Vancouver Island, is an enchanting spot that’s surprisingly easy to get to—just board the Clipper Vacations catamaran right from downtown, and in about three hours, you’ll be in Canadian territory.

Choose your own adventure once you get there—you can partake in the famous afternoon tea at the stately Fairmont Empress, a tradition that dates back 110 years, or wander through the blooms of Butchart Gardens. (This time of year, the Rose Garden is in full splendor.) For history buffs, the Royal BC Museum currently

A VINE TIME With more than 100 wineries and tasting rooms, plus 14 microbreweries, cideries and distilleries, you’ll never go thirsty in Woodinville. Just 30 minutes northeast of Seattle, this small town is home to the highest concentration of 90+ rated wines in the world, which means you really can’t go wrong wherever your trip to sip begins.

The French-style Chateau Ste. Michelle, the state’s oldest winery, is a popular first stop, with an informative free tour. In the summer, the grounds double as a concert venue—this month, catch everyone from trumpeter Chris Botti to singer-songwriter Ben Harper to the legendary Steve Miller Band and Peter Frampton.

DAY T R I P P I N G

For sustenance in between sipping, devour the Grand Marnier Prawns at the Barking Frog inside Willows Lodge, sit down to a just-right salad-and-sandwich combo at Purple, or grab a quick burger and tater tots from Teddy’s Bigger Burgers and get back to tasting.

MAKE A PASS For a road trip with a little bit of everything, set your sights on Whidbey Island.

To get there, drive about an hour north to Mukilteo to catch the ferry to Clinton, where you can pick up a breakfast sandwich at Pickles Deli before starting your island adventure. There are plenty of parks and cute towns to peruse on your way to Deception Pass State Park, known for a bridge that provides endless photo ops. (Fun fact: It cost more to repaint the spans in the 1980s than it did to construct them in the 1930s.) Beyond the famed bridge, the park is also home to swimming in Cranberry Lake, hiking through the forest, and beachcombing along the shores of the Puget Sound. After driving off the island, head northeast until you reach the tiny community of Bow-Edison, known for its incredible food. For the best baked goods, Breadfarm is a must-stop (bring cash!).

COURTESY CLIPPER VACATIONS; ©SHEILA SUND/FLICKR; ©JIM CULP

CULTURE TRIP If you like your vacation with a side of education, then Tacoma—35 miles south by car or public bus—is for you.

Celebrate the beauty of glassblowing at the Museum of Glass, where you can see live demonstrations in the Hot Shop, or check out art from the American West at the Tacoma Art Museum. Alternately, you can immerse yourself in the story of America’s love affair with the automobile at the striking LeMay – America’s Car Museum or find out all about the 42nd state at the Washington State History Museum. After you’ve wandered, rest your feet at one of two art-house theaters in town: The Grand Cinema, in a beautiful brick building, or The Blue Mouse Theatre, a local institution that started with silent films in the 1920s.

SEA AND SKY

TO W N A N D C O U N T RY

Combine the sky above and the waves below into one day trip you won’t soon forget. San Juan Safaris offers a whalewatching tour out of Seattle that starts with a Kenmore Air seaplane ride. Taking off from Lake Union or Lake Washington, you’ll hover above the Emerald City skyline before flying over the Puget Sound en route to San Juan Island. Part two of the adventure will take you out on the water in a 55-foot-long vessel in search of Orca whales. Back on land, adorable Friday Harbor is easily walkable—try lunch at the seasonally focused Cask & Schooner, then top it off with a scoop of locally made ice cream at Yo! Friday Harbor before boarding the seaplane back to Seattle for one last round of jaw-dropping views.

WHERE IN SEATTLE

We’re addicted to chilling out.

Seattle Aquarium There's something very cooling and calming about watching fish glide through the 12,000 gallon Window on Washington Waters exhibit, which showcases local marine life. Don't forget to visit the otters, who stay cool even in their fur coats.

For more great ways to keep cool in the city visit

International Fountain Kids love splashing around at this Seattle Center fixture, a large, climbable silver dome with dozens of water sprays. (And there's absolutely nothing to

stop you from running through it yourself!)

Cinerama Escape the heat (and the real world) for a few hours by catching the latest blockbuster at Belltown's restored midcentury era movie theater. There's also a mini-museum where you can see costumes and props from your favorite sci-fi and superhero flicks.

Ballard Breweries There's nothing like a cold beer on a hot summer day—and in the Bal-

lard neighborhood you can sample ales from a bevy of breweries. A few to try are Stoup Brewing, Reuben's Brews, Obec and Lucky Envelope; all are within a short walk of each other.

Bainbridge Island Ferry Enjoy spectacular views of Puget Sound and the Olympic mountains, not to mention a refreshing breeze aboard this 30-minute ride to cozy Bainbridge Island. Have a scoop of locally made Mora ice cream before heading back to Seattle.

COURTESY SEATTLE AQUARIUM

 Seattle's summers are generally mild, especially compared to other parts of the country. But temperatures tend to peak in August, so be prepared with plenty of water, sunscreen and a plan to escape the heat.
