Seattle’s Historic Waterfront has two dozen restaurants, shops, and amusements stretching out in full view of Elliott Bay. It’s a classic promenade for visitors and locals alike. Since it’s located at the edge of downtown, it’s an easy walk from Seattle’s hotels. You can occupy yourself for a half-hour to a week without going too far out of your way. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to experience authentic Northwest culture before the viaduct comes down!

I grew up watching "Sesame Street," the Muppets and, as I got older, "Fraggle Rock." The characters and style that Jim Henson created in his shows and movies still live on today.

Now, Henson’s work and stories are on display for everyone to enjoy at MoPOP's "The Jim Henson Exhibition: Imagination Unlimited." If you're like me, you can relive a blast from the past, and younger visitors will get to see what inspired so much of what we see in today’s animation. It's a great exhibition for all ages—and one that will have you walking away smiling!

Treat your taste buds

If your motto is “Eat dessert first,” it’s easy to fulfill your mission in Seattle, where sweet tooths find plenty of satiation. For donut lovers, Top Pot is the place to go. With more than a dozen locations in the area, they delight with 40-some types of hand-forged donuts—glazed old fashioned, blueberry cake and maple bars among them. For vanilla custard donuts done to perfection, visit General Porpoise on Capitol Hill. Shug’s Soda Fountain became an instant classic when it opened last year in Pike Place Market, thanks to its photo-ready floats in a charming spot. Nearby, add soft-serve vanilla to one of the concoctions at Rachel’s Ginger Beer for a refreshing treat. For cookie fans, it really doesn’t get any better than the soft, straight-from-the-oven cookies from Hello Robin—Salted Butterscotch is particularly decadent. For a grownup Oreo, Crumble & Flake makes the Cheweo, with rotating filling flavors.

FOOTWEAR Seattle is a supremely walkable city, which means good footwear is not just a fashion statement, it’s a necessity. Women can slip into the sandals and slides of the season at Clementines in Pioneer Square. Here you’ll discover such brands as Miista, Kat Maconie, Coclico and Fortress of Inca, among others. Men can try on beautiful boots inspired by everything from 1920s style to the British Invasion of the 1960s at Division Road, a SoDo shop that marries modern design with old-world production values. They carry such names as Viberg, Wesco, Tricker’s and more. Everyone will find something to love at Market Street Shoes in Ballard (plus a new location in Redmond), where the well-curated picks make for a fantastic fit. Brands carried include Blundstone, Birkenstock, Chaco, Saucony and many more.

INTERACTIVE FUN Hands-on learning opportunities

Looking and listening are great, but sometimes you just want to reach out and touch something. For the more tactile among us, Seattle has plenty of options where you can try your hand at different exercises. The Pacific Science Center is a pioneer in these kinds of activities—test your reaction time, learn about currents by playing in water, spin a 2-ton granite ball and ride a bike precariously balanced on a rail, just for starters. Elsewhere in Seattle Center, an interactive wall on the Space Needle’s Observation Deck lets you look at the historic photos you’re most interested in and even add your own. Located just across the street from the Seattle Center campus, the Gates Foundation Visitor Center is also big on interactivity, with thoughtprovoking activities that highlight the biggest problems—and potential solutions—around the world.

The Ultimate Vacation Guide

By Haley Shapley

There’s really no bad time to visit the Emerald City, but there’s something irresistible about summer—the sun is (usually) shining, the sidewalks are bustling and the activities are abounding. With everything going on, it can be tough to know where to start, so let this handy guide shepherd you through a trip to remember.

THE AIR UP THERE Set a good foundation to your vacation by getting the lay of the land. The tallest building from which to do that is the Columbia Center, whose Sky View Observatory on the 73rd floor rises more than 900 feet in the air to give you an unparalleled perspective on the city. Closer to the ground but with views just as dazzling, Smith Tower opened 103 years ago in Pioneer Square as the tallest building west of the Mississippi.

Here, it’s about the journey as much as the

26

WHE RE I J U N E 2017

destination—the original brass elevator that takes you to the Observatory is still manually run by elevator operators. For a ride that’s even more thrilling, take a spin on the Seattle Great Wheel, which juts out 40 feet beyond the end of Pier 57 on the waterfront. To go even higher, Kenmore Air’s scenic seaplane tours that leave from Lake Union make quite an impression.

HISTORY LESSONS Once you’ve gotten your bearings, add a little history for context. The Museum of History & Industry, better known as MOHAI, tells you everything you need to know about the area’s origins and influence, from a musical presentation on how the Great Seattle Fire started to a display featuring local grunge bands that shot to worldwide fame (perhaps you’ve heard of a little group called Nirvana?). One of the most

The signature Seattle experiences you have to try.

formative events was the 1962 World’s Fair, which brought us the Seattle Center and the iconic Space Needle, along with the Monorail—an official Historic Landmark that still ferries more than two million passengers a year. After you’ve taken a ride, switch to human-powered transport on a walking tour with the Wing Luke Museum.

Explore the International District through the eyes of a local, take a special 2.5-hour rice-themed tour, or discover Bruce Lee’s Chinatown—where he launched his first martial arts studio. If you’d like a little caffeine with your stroll, Seattle by Foot offers a Coffee Crawl that will get you up to speed on the java scene’s pioneers and what’s brewing now.

WATER WORLD By this point, you may have noticed that water plays a major role in Seattle’s history and culture. All those inlets, lakes and bays may make it more difficult to get from point A to point B, but they make it prettier, too. Get out on the water with Argosy Cruises, which offers narrated sightseeing tours, or hop in an old-fashioned vessel with the Center for Wooden Boats on Lake Union. (On Sundays, volunteer skippers take visitors out for free.) To watch boats make the switch from saltwater to freshwater or vice versa, head to the Ballard Locks, where the water level can change up to 26 feet as kayaks and big ships alike make the transition. Of course, you can’t leave the city without a meal served with a side of water views—Anthony’s Pier 66 on the waterfront, Ray’s Boathouse in Ballard and Palisade in Magnolia are just a few of the choice options.

ONLY IN SEATTLE Round out your vacation with some experiences you can only have here. Washington native Dale Chihuly may be known around the world, but there’s nothing as extensive as Chihuly Garden and Glass—a gorgeous museum dedicated to his glassblowing art—anywhere else. And while libraries are commonplace, design-forward ones like the steel-and-glass Seattle Central Library are not. Don’t miss the views from the 10th floor or the eye-catching

corridors on the fourth. On the quirky end of the spectrum, the Fremont Troll under Aurora Bridge is a favorite—and yes, that’s a real VW Beetle in his clutched hand.

Catch a Mariners game at the beautiful Safeco Field (order the garlic fries), and leave your mark by adding to the Gum Wall in Post Alley, right under Pike Place Market.

If you haven’t been there yet, it’s the heartbeat of the city and a must for any trip. Buy a one-of-a-kind souvenir, nibble on fresh produce samples and watch the fish fly.

For guided exploration, take a tour with Savor Seattle to taste some of the market’s highlights—think piping hot cinnamon sugar donuts, rich macaroni and cheese and incredibly flavorful Greek yogurt. For one last parting shot, take your camera to Queen Anne’s Kerry Park, which offers a postcard-perfect view of everything you’ve just experienced—you may not be able to pack Seattle in your suitcase, but you can certainly take home the memories.

EXPERIENCE IT ALL

Let's Go Alfresco!

Let's Go Alfresco!

Fresh air is the perfect accompaniment to any meal at these outdoor eating spots.

By Haley Shapley

The weather getting warmer and Seattleites enthusiastically shedding their parkas in favor of a pair of shorts means patio season is finally upon us. Whether you’re looking to enjoy a leisurely weekend brunch, a happy hour cocktail or dinner with a view, get your dose of vitamin D at these spots with outdoor options.

FROM THE SEA With a location right on an inlet of the Pacific Ocean, Seattle predictably boasts serious seafood chops. Pair that with an outdoor location on the water and you’ve got the makings of a standout dining experience. At Ivar’s Acres of Clams, a local institution since 1938, it’s tough to decide whether it’s the fish or the renovated patio that’s the star of the show. Call it a tie while you nosh on seared Alaskan halibut from your front-row seat to the ferries crisscrossing the Puget Sound. Just down the road beside Myrtle Edwards Park, Aqua by El Gaucho stuns with a spacious deck on Pier 70 overlooking showy Elliott Bay, making it a choice locale to savor exquisite wine and seafood near the source.

Over in Wallingford, lovely lakefront eatery Westward serves up Northwest fare and sweeping views of Lake Union. It’s ideal for water sports enthusiasts—simply tie up your boat or kayak to their private dock before heading to the dining deck for a paddling break.

AN ELEVATED EXPERIENCE Outdoor space + a little elevation + summer weather = jackpot. A sleek and expansive patio among downtown’s skyscrapers is the claim to fame at fifth-floor Frolik Kitchen + Cocktails. Order a pear ginger mule and grab a seat by one of the fireplaces, or challenge fellow fresh-air revelers to a game of shuffleboard. Over in South Lake Union, Mbar’s 14th-floor rooftop patio is worth a visit. While you’re nibbling on a local baguette and indulging in a signature cocktail like Dali’s Frosted Donut, don’t forget to look around— you’ll spot Lake Union, the Space Needle, Queen Anne and the Olympic Mountains.

The Nest at the top of the Thompson hotel is also no slouch in the vistas department, with its rooftop terrace offering a

stunning look at the Puget Sound and Pike Place Market. Paired with a glass of Champagne, it’s heavenly.

NO PASSPORTS NECESSARY With one of the most diverse food scenes in the country, Seattle lets you escape to a faraway land while still firmly planted in city limits. Come for the rugby match and stay for the good eats at Ballard’s Kangaroo & Kiwi, sporting an Australia-meets-New Zealand vibe. In the string-light-adorned courtyard, chow down on Aussie meat pies and sip local brews. If sunshine’s got you in the island mindset, sink your paradise-craving toes in the patio sand at Bongos, where the Caribbean sandwiches are delectable—try The Desi, featuring citrus-braised pork. And for Hawaiian-Korean fusion cuisine, take advantage of the ample outdoor seating at Marination Ma Kai in West Seattle, a brickand-mortar iteration of the popular food truck Marination.

COZY COMFORT Like a stylish friend’s well-decorated backyard deck, some of Seattle’s outdoor dining spots exude coziness. The cute-ascan-be patio at Marjorie on Capitol Hill is one of them. With brightly colored chairs, pots of fresh lavender, and even blankets and heat lamps when the temperature isn’t cooperating, this is the place to come for a sweet atmosphere and must-taste steel drum plantains. At the back of Percy’s & Co. in Ballard, take a seat at one of the wooden picnic tables surrounded by hanging ferns and order an apothecary-themed libation.

Don’t forget to add a house-made tincture for brain power or immunity at no extra cost.

And with plenty of foliage and flowers, the charming patio at Cicchetti in Eastlake is small and intimate, a just-right space to share Mediterranean tapas with someone special.

ON THE MOVE The outdoor dining season is year-round for these food trucks, six of Seattle’s finest.  JEMIL’S BIG EASY Award-winning chef Jemil Aziz Johnson imports the tastes of New Orleans to Seattle via Cajun jambalaya, fried okra and sweet tea. jemilsbigeasy.com  CHEESE WIZARDS The cheesy goodness of the Voldamortadella grilled cheese sandwich (above) can only be explained by sorcery. wizardsof cheese.com  PLUM BURGERS Vegans, rejoice—this is not your typical burger joint. The menu here is 100 percent meatless and 100 percent mouthwatering. plumbistro.com/truck  OFF THE REZ Off the Rez serves up authentic Native American fry bread with your choice of sweet or savory toppings. facebook.com/offtherez  SNOUT & CO. The comfort of classic Southern food meets the zest of Cuban cuisine in these bowls, sandwiches and sides. snoutandco.com  CHOPSTIX Discover modern Asian cuisine like chopped duck salad and plum slaw paired with a watermelon slushy or Thai tea. chopstixmobile.com

Lowell's Charlie and I have many favorite spots for brunch but we love going to Lowell’s, at the Pike Place Market.

Charlie's favorite dish is the World Famous Dungeness Crab Omelet and my favorite is the Lemon Zest Ricotta pancakes!

Yum Yum. –Cindy and Charlie Martin, Owners, Seattle Pinball Museum

Saint Helens Cafe You’ve gotta check out Saint Helens for brunch! The ambiance and food are unforgettable and the service is absolutely topnotch. Try the eggs Benedict and the corned beef hash.

–David Matsudaira, CEO, Butch Blum

Silence-HeartNest This is a vegetarian restaurant with Buddhist roots and an amazing

peaceful vibe in contrast to the usual brunch crunch.

–Donna Moyer, Tasting Room Manager, Estates Wine Room

Café Flora You don't have to be a vegetarian to love the fresh and local ingredients and creative menu.

My favorites are the Cherry Lemon French Toast (brioche dipped in rich egg batter, lemon

curd, sour cherry compote, pistachio streusel and honey yogurt) and the Roasted Brussels and Portobello Scramble (eggs or tofu, roasted Brussels sprouts, Portobello mushrooms, sautéed leeks, lemon parsley pesto and pecorino) with a side of grits and sunflower bread.

–Cara Egan, Communications Officer, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
