Seattle and Beyond

Cycle the City with Pronto Cycle Share For just $8 a day, you can rent a Pronto Cycle Share bike, and with unlimited 30-minute trips, cycle your way around the city.

• Start your day at Seattle Center by taking a trip up the Space Needle or visiting Chihuly Garden and Glass. Once you’ve checked those landmarks off your list, snag a bike from Pronto Cycle Share’s 3rd Avenue & Broad Street station.

• Head to Belltown’s 1st Ave for some shopping. After checking out the boutiques, grab a Pronto from the 2nd & Blanchard station and ride south on Seattle’s new 2nd Avenue protected bike lane.

• Bike on down to Pioneer Square and check out Damn the Weather or E. Smith Mercantile for happy hour. Once fed and watered, pick up a Pronto at the 2nd & Jackson King Street Station.

• Pedal north on 4th Avenue and cap off the evening downtown. Bid your bike farewell at Pronto’s Pine & 9th Station and end the night across the street with a play or concert at The Paramount Theatre.

This is one city where there’s always something to do.

From bustling downtown to the charm of Chinatown, Seattle’s neighborhoods each have their own personality. On page 18, find three neighborhoods outside the downtown core perfect for a day of exploration. There are also three places beyond the city to visit—the surrounding area is filled with natural beauty and spots to enjoy. On page 72 a pilot for Kenmore Air shares his tips for Seattle and beyond. Short on time? Below, what to see at the Museum of History & Industry when time is tight.

80 MINUTES IN:

Museum of History & Industry

Seattle’s Museum of History & Industry, locally referred to as MOHAI, (www.mohai.org.

860 Terry Ave. N, 206.324.1126) is dedicated to preserving stories and artifacts from Seattle’s history. Located on the shores of Lake Union's south end, it’s a picturesque spot well worth a visit. Start the visit with checking out a few things just beyond the front doors. While MOHAI only has a tiny percentage of its permanent collection on display, items here include a Rainier Beer neon R, a pink “toe” truck from a former towing company and the Wawona sculpture, a salvaged old-growth Douglas fir sculpture by John Grade that was repurposed from the hull of a sailing ship.

MOHAI’s core exhibit, “True Northwest: The Seattle Journey,” tells the varied and interesting stories of Seattle’s past.

With clothing, artifacts, video

and more, it’s a great way to get a primer on how Seattle went from wilderness to bustling city. Don’t miss the interactive Great Fire Theater, a chance to learn more about what might be Seattle’s most famous disaster.

Finally, until Sept. 25, check out the “Toys of the ’50s, ’60s and ’70s” exhibit.

This fun exhibit organizes favorite childhood toys by decade, recreating typical liv-

ing rooms to display many of the toys. See everything from Gumby and Barbie to Slinky and G.I. Joe. Each decade also has a commercial reel featuring popular toy commercials—careful, the jingles will remain in your head all day.

Open daily 10 am- 5pm, the first Thursday of the month is free with extended hours until 8 pm. Youth 14 and younger are free at this museum when accompanied by a chaperone (limited to five youth per chaperone), making it great for families.

WHERE NOW Seattle

»EDMONDS

Edmonds has plenty of shoreline to explore.

Just half an hour north of Seattle, Edmonds is a cute town along Puget Sound. Edmonds is home to a number of art galleries and the Cascadia Art Museum (www.cascadiaartmuseum.org.

Bainbridge Island is a fun ferry ride from Seattle.

Leavenworth brings a bit of Bavaria to Washington.

»LEAVENWORTH

Head two hours east of Seattle for a taste of Bavaria. Leavenworth is a cute town with tons of outdoor adventures. If you’d like to hike, there are hundreds of miles to explore. One easy hike is Waterfront Park , three miles along the Wenatchee River. For more of a challenge, head to Lake Minotaur, a six-mile round-trip hike. While it’s a tough climb, the views are worth it. Find more trails at www.leavenworth.org. Rafting and kayaking are also popular, and there are a number of outfits that will take you, including Osprey (www.ospreyrafting.com). Need a break? Head to München Haus (www.munchenhaus.com. 709 Front St., 509.548.1158), a Bavarian grill and beer garden. Find German sausages and plenty of Northwest beer on tap and bottled imports.

A short ferry ride away (www.wsdot.wa.gov/ ferries), the journey to the island is as fun as time spent on Bainbridge. Start at Blackbird Bakery (www.blackbirdbakery.com. 210 Winslow Way E, 206.780.1322) with coffee and a pastry— you can’t go wrong no matter what you order.

Find it on Winslow Way E, which is the main street through town.

On the way back into town, stop by Bainbridge Organic Distillers (www. bainbridgedistillers.com. 9727 Coppertop Loop NE, 206.842.3184) for a tour of the facility and tastes of the vodka, whiskey or gin. When it’s time for some food, a favorite among locals is Hitchcock (www.hitchcockrestaurant.com.

133 Winslow Way E, 206.201.3789), a spot with a frequently changing menu featuring local seafood, meat and vegetables. For something a bit lighter, or for breakfast or lunch, Hitchcock Deli (www.hitchcockdeli.com. 129 Winslow Way E, 206.451.4609) is next door with sandwiches, salads and soup. Another great option is Restaurant Marché (www.restaurantmarchebain bridge.com. 150 Madrone Lane, 206.842.1633) for French fare. Just want something sweet?

Seattle’s fast becoming a cider town—the number of locally made ciders has exploded in the last few years, and this month, two cider-focused events are also taking place. Sept. 8-18 is Washington Cider Week (www.nwcider. com), where more than 100 events, special menus and activities are planned throughout the state. As part of that week, the annual Cider Summit Seattle returns to South Lake Union. Happening Sept. 9-10, those 21 and older can try more than 150 ciders from around the world. Tickets available at www. cidersummit.com. Following, a few local cider spots to visit.

Citizen Six has food, cocktails and No. 6 Cider.

While the Eastside town of Woodinville is known as the best spot west of the Cascades for wine tasting, there are plenty more handcrafted beverages made there. From beer to spirits to cider, Woodinville has it all. Here, two cider spots to try.

ELEMENTAL HARD CIDER Among the wine tasting rooms find this delicious spot. Elemental Hard Cider (www.elementalhard cider.com. 19501 144th Ave. NE, Ste. D-900, Woodinville, 425.877.1842) has eight to 12 ciders on draft at any time as well as deli-style sandwiches if you’re hungry. Elemental’s cider is cross-flow filtered and slightly effervescent, so it may remind you of Champagne. There are always new, experimental flavors to try.

LOCUST CIDER This spot in Woodinville has a cider house (www.locustcider.com. 19151 144th Ave. NE, Ste. B/C, Woodinville, 206.494.5968) with an ever-changing selection of ciders, including experimental flavors. Try flights or tasters before indulging in a pint— there are at least nine ciders on tap at any time. Cider varieties include Dark Cherry, Thai Ginger, Apricot and the more traditional Original Dry and Sweet Aged Apple. While there’s no food on-site, delivery is available and Sundays feature a food truck.

Citizen Six bar and restaurant (945 Elliott Ave. W, Ste. 201, 206.588.2224) is a fun spot for No. 6

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.

• 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

Will Greenwood [Pilot, Kenmore Air]

For the last five years, Will Greenwood has worked for Kenmore Air. As a pilot for three of those years, he flies seaplanes (floats) around the region. Where caught up with Greenwood to discuss his favorite flight, the best sandwich in town and his favorite hidden park.

Do you have a favorite Kenmore Air flight?

I really enjoy going to Sonora in B.C. It’s in the inland passage between Vancouver Island and British Columbia. Imagine the San Juans but 10 times more—the terrain is 3,000 feet high and the waterways are a little bit narrower. It’s mindblow-

ing. I like going there just because of the landing.

It’s a really narrow waterway and at tidal change it’s basically a river. It’s a wild ride.

What flight would you recommend for visitors?

September’s a good month to take scenic [flights] around the city.

Weather’s good and we do San Juan scenic flights also. They’re a little bit more expensive, but you basically just ride along on a flight to the San Juans and back. So if you haven’t been to the San Juans and you want to experience them in a day, that’s the way to do it. Sometimes it's just

Any favorite parks in Seattle?

There’s Westcrest Park right next to us. I almost hate to say it because there’s nobody ever there. It’s huge; it’s a really big park, and it’s just empty all the time.

I’d consider it kind of a hidden park in Seattle … It’s a huge area that we can play whatever: Frisbee, fly a kite, and then the playground is awesome for kids.

What’s your favorite restaurant?

Marination Ma Kai on Alki. The pork katsu burger is where it’s at.

Favorite museum?

I’m an aviation geek. The Museum of Flight. It’s pretty darn good. Even

my daughter, whenever we drive by and they put that new cover with the 787, she’s like ‘Can we drive by that when we go home?’ She just likes to look at it out the window.

I’ve taken advantage of the free first of the month Thursday and been to the Museum of History and Industry because it’s right next to Lake Union.

It’s interesting to walk around in there.

What are your must-see spots with visitors?

Pike Place [Market], Fremont Troll, Alki Beach.

The lookout off California Ave. [Hamilton Viewpoint Park]. At night and on a clear day, it’s the perfect shot of the city. It’s an unobstructed view of the skyline. At night its really cool, you get the whole view of the city lights and all that.

What’s your favorite vacation destination?

I would say Hawaii, but my wife hasn’t been there yet. I still have to take her.

I actually was born on Hawaii and its kind of a home away from home.

I do like going there. It’s nice. Kauai, it’s a little bit more laid back, a little bit more low key.

What’s No. 1 on your travel wish list?

It would be really cool to go visit Iceland. That or travel Europe. And again, we have family out there, so it makes it a little more doable.

Kenmore Air has terminals on Lake Union and Lake Washington.

a one stop, but oftentimes, when we know that there’s a scenic San Juans, we do a little extra, maybe go a different way instead of straight there and straight back.

You get a good picture of what it looks like. You don’t get to spend any time in the islands, but you get to see a lot of scenery. It’s pretty cool.
