Seattle Art Museum

In the heart of downtown, the Seattle Art Museum (www. seattleartmuseum.org. 1300 First Ave., 206.654.3100) is a mustvisit when in the Emerald City. The collections include works from a plethora of cultures and time periods, from ancient Islamic art to contemporary pieces. If you’re short on time, here are a few highlights.

Start on the third floor (one level up from the ticket desk). The north end is home to contemporary art pieces.

Be sure to stop and examine “Sea Change” from Jackson Pollock and “Double Elvis” from Andy Warhol. Also on the third floor, in the American Art galleries south of the escalators, is the incredible oil painting “Puget Sound on the Pacific Coast” by Albert Bierstadt, from 1870. Fun fact: It’s likely Bierstadt hadn’t yet traveled to the Pacific Northwest when he created the painting.

The work is possibly a commission from a New York shipping magnate.

Next, find two unusual surprises hidden on floor four. Wind through the European art galleries to the eastern side of the building. It’s here you’ll find the Wyckoff Porcelain Room. The room has floor-to-ceiling examples of European and Asian porcelain. Even if the delicate dishes and figurines

aren’t typically what you’re drawn to, the collection is nonetheless impressive.

Finally, head to the northeast corner of floor four behind the Ancient Mediterranean and Islamic art to enter the Italian Room. Built some time between 1150 and 1600 in the northern Lombard town of Chiavenna, it was carefully restored and installed at the museum. While the windows, fireplaces and flooring are later additions, each is based on historical designs and materials.

The holidays in Seattle are a magical time. We may not get the snow of other cities on a regular basis (which is part of the appeal for me) but that doesn’t mean the Emerald City skimps on celebrations. From the giant tree at Westlake Center (with the carousal across the street) to holiday concerts at Benaroya Hall, there are almost daily events. We’ve rounded up 12 to check out starting on page 12. Page 14 begins a few favorite warming spots for winter. Or, for another option to get out of the rain, see below for a quick trip of the highlights at the Seattle Art Museum.

WARM UP WITH WINE

Fonté Café & Wine Bar

If a little vino is in order, Seattle’s a great spot to have a glass. Washington makes fantastic wines, from white to red to bubbly—and folks here also know good wine from outside the region, so most wine lists have plenty of delicious offerings. A few wine bars to check out include Le Caviste, the Estates Wine Room or Charles Smith Wines Jet City if you’re looking for a glass or two and small plates. Le Caviste (www.lecavisteseattle.com. 1919 Seventh Ave., 206.728.2657) is a comfortable spot downtown that offers French wines and wine-based aperitifs—this spot tries to source as many wines made with organic and sustainable farming techniques as possible. Small plates include charcuterie and fromage. Estates Wine Room (www. estateswineroom.com. 307 Occidental Ave. S, 206.623.5835) in Pioneer Square includes large picture windows from which to watch the neighborhood goings-on while sampling wines from Double Canyon, Seven Hills Winery and Archery Summit—all Pacific Northwest winemakers with whites and reds worth a sip. Try a tasting flight before lingering over a favorite bottle and small plates. Charles Smith Wines Jet

Caffeinated Cups Try Seattle’s drink of choice at one of these great coffee shops.

City (www.kvintners.com. 1136 S. Albro Place, 206.745.7456), located in Georgetown, is in a former Dr. Pepper bottling plant. Try Charles Smith wines, enjoy music and watch flights take off and land at Boeing Field.

HONOR SOCIETY COFFEE Located in Melrose Market on Capitol Hill, this spot has coffee and small plates for breakfast and lunch. The shining star is the housemade cashew milk—try it in a latte for a fabulous warm up. www.honor societycoffee.com. 1531 Melrose Ave., 206.859.7554

A BEGINNER’S GUIDE Not sure where to begin with recreational cannabis? Below, information to get you started.

• There are two basic types of cannabis that originated in different parts of the world. Indica is thought to have originated near Afghanistan.

The plant is short and bushy. Sativa, on the other hand, is believed to come from more temperate areas close to the equator. The Sativa plant is tall and thin. The two categories are also thought to give users a different type of high. Indica’s effects are more full body and relaxing. Many people prefer to use Indica at night, when they want to relax on the couch. Sativa gives a more uplifting high that leaves people feeling energized. It tends to be more popular for use during the day. There are also hybrid strains that have characteristics from each—if you don’t know what to get, ask at the recreational cannabis store. Employees are well versed in what they carry and can help you find the right product.

• Smoking cannabis is probably the most widely used method for consumption. Smoking cannabis releases tetrahydrocannabinol— THC—from the cannabis, which gets absored into the bloodstream through the lungs. THC is the main psychoactive chemical in cannabis.

Options for smoking include joints (a slang term for cigarettes made with cannabis, sometimes mixed with tobacco or other non-addictive herbs), blunts (cannabis rolled in a cigar wrapper), pipes (also called pieces or bowls, where the cannabis is placed in the bowl, a heat source is applied and the user draws air through the stem) and bongs (similar to pipes but with a water chamber the smoke passes through before inhalation). If it’s the first time smoking, it is recommended to use only a pinch and wait 10-15 minutes to see what effect the marijuana has.

• Edibles are another way to consume marijuana. Edibles can be a good option for tourists, since places to smoke are limited without a private space, such as a private home. Edibles can be tricky, however, as it takes the body a lot longer to metabolize the THC. Enjoy the edible treats (everything from chocolates to cookies) slowly—they are often made with concentrated cannabis oil, making them quite strong. Even if you’ve had homemade edibles in the past, these regulated treats can be very different. It is suggested to start with a single serving or less, and wait two to three hours to see what the effects are. It’s also important to keep edibles away from children and animals, as they look—and taste—like regular treats.

10/19/16 11:12:06 11/9/16 1:15:40 AM PM

• Other options available include concentrates and vaporizer pens. Concentrates are just that—concentrated cannabis in the form of oils, hashes, waxes and more. The effects are strong and quick, so start with a small amount.

Vaporizer pens are similar to electronic cigarettes and often use cannabis oil, which is concentrated. So again, start with a small amount.

• Learn more about the entire recreational cannabis industry by taking a tour. There are a number of tours in the area, including Kush Tourism, Seattle Green Adventures and The Original Cannabus. Kush has two tours: The Kush Tour, a three-and-a-half hour tour of glass blowing, a grow operation, oil production, edibles and retail stores; and the Dawg Star Tour, an hour long tour to a commercial production facility. Either tour can be booked at www. kushtourism.com. Seattle Green Adventures has three tours. The four-hour Standard Tour includes two or three cannabis shops and a visit to either a grow operation or a glass blowing studio. There is also a Weekday Airport Welcome Tour, where they pick you up at the airport, take you to a cannabis shop and then drop you off at your hotel. Seattle Green Adventures also does customizable tours. Find more information at www.cannabistourseattle.com. The Original Cannabus has a two-and-a-half hour tour to the first licensed recreational cannabis facility in the city as well as a high-end cannabis store. Visit www.theoriginalcannabus.com to book a tour.

[WHERE INSIDE]

My Seattle

[O wner and Founder, Pike Place Chowder] Winning a chowder competition against the city's largest seafood restaurants started Larry Mellum's journey to opening a spot at Pike Place Market in 2003. A Pacific Place location opened in 2007. Mellum spoke with Where about his favorite spots at the Market and beyond. Visit the cafe online at pikeplacechowder.com.

How long did it take to perfect the first chowder recipe?

The original recipe was created by one of our line cooks and enhanced as we went along. We built on quality ingredients, fresh produce, herbs and spices. By the time we opened at the Market, all of the improvements had been made. The New England Clam Chowder has remained the same ever since.

where about 20,000 people show up every year to vote for their favorite chowder. No restaurant outside New England had ever taken first place at this event and yes—we won three years in a row.

As Gail Alofsin, the director of the event, reported to the Food Network, “In

Your chowder won one of the largest East Coast chowder contests three years running—how incredible did that feel?

The Great Chowder Cook-Off in Newport, Rhode Island, really put us on the map. It remains the largest chowder competition in the country

comes this restaurant from Seattle, of all places, and beats us at our own game.” Our team raised the money to go to the competition through car washes and bake sales.

Not one of them had ever been east of Montana.

What a great experience!

What is a favorite hidden Pike Place Market gem?

Well, they are not so hidden anymore but the Market is filled with gems like The Pink Door, Place Pigalle, IL Bistro, Rachel’s, Shiro’s new sushi bar, Kashiba, Chan’s at The Inn at The Market; also, the Old Stove Brewery

The Walrus & The Carpenter

and The Alibi Room. I like them all.

What is your favorite Seattle holiday tradition?

Macy’s Holiday Parade and Star Lighting Ceremony.

Best cup of coffee in Seattle?

Caffè Umbria at Le Panier What is something you always do with visitors?

Take them out sailing on Elliot Bay. Where is your favorite vacation spot?

For sailing, to the San Juan Islands; fly fishing, in Montana; hanging out, on Vancouver Island. My wife, Betty, and I have recently taken some rather exotic vacations to see endangered animals. We’ve visited the Marquesas [Island], and traveled to India to see the tigers. Next year, we are planning to see the polar bears on a visit to Svalbard Island, above the Arctic Circle, off the coast of Norway.

What spot is No. 1 on your travel wish list?

Following our trip to Svalbard Island, we will likely head for Africa to check out more critters or to Southern Europe for historical sites. There is so much to experience in this world and so many places I’d like to see. Yet, sometimes it’s just as nice to sit at home in the back yard reading a good book.

Larry Mellum

When you aren't perfecting chowder recipes, where else do you enjoy dining in Seattle?

Because we are so busy with the chowder business, I wish I had time to try more of the creative restaurants in Seattle. I like just about anything on Ballard Avenue, particularly The Walrus & The Carpenter.

Actually, anything Renee Erikson does is great …

The Whale Wins, Bateau.

I’m impressed with Ethan Stowell’s Goldfinch Tavern. I really like supporting the terrific eating places here at the Market: Steelhead Diner, El Borracho, The Athenian, LoPriore Bros. Pasta Bar, Rachel’s Ginger Beer, to name only a few.
