TACOMA left: COURTESY OF TACOMA ART MUSEUM middle: MUSEUM OF GLASS right: SEYMOUR BOTANICAL CONSERVATORY; by tessa gilbertson

Tacoma is known as an entertainment destination. From cultural attractions to outdoor pursuits, the city offers an array of options. Consider dividing your time between culture, shopping and outdoor recreation. Start by learning about local history at the Washington State History Museum. Take a stroll across the Chihuly Bridge of Glass to view $12 million worth of ornamental glass in the Seafoam Pavilion and the Venetian Wall. The bridge leads to the Museum of Glass, a world-renowned contemporary artist hot spot, where the craft of creating works from molten glass happens live.

Taking in the museums builds up the appetite, and you’re in luck! There are several spots to eat right on nearby Pacific Avenue: Indochine Cafe, Pacific Grill and Harmon Brewery are all local favorites. After lunch, head to the nearby Tacoma Art Museum. Founded in 1935, the museum has a permanent collection of some 3,200 artworks by European, American and Asian artists of the last two centuries.

To observe natural beauty in the heart of the city, visit Wright Park and the 1908 Seymour Botanical Conservatory, one of only three such Victorian greenhouses on the West Coast. Enjoy 500 species of exotic and fragrant flowers and foliage and an on-site gift shop.

Best Shopping There are plenty of noteworthy places to shop within a few blocks of the gardens. More than 100 stores create an eclectic mix of shopping opportunities.

At Bella Balls, you can choose from an extensive selection of hand-blown glass balls. These one-of-a-kind pieces create a remarkable story. Pause for a bite at the Hub Restaurant; its sweet potato fries are delicious.

Walk it off at Point Defiance Park where you can hike, beach-comb and meander through over half a dozen specialty gardens. The Japanese, Rose and Rhododendron gardens are a few favorites. You can also tour the Living

TIP: Light Rail The Link light rail which serves downtown Tacoma covers less than two miles, but after walking for a few hours it’s a fast, free way to get back to your starting point. There are five stops, beginning at the Tacoma Dome and ending by the Theater District. It’s new, clean, and comfortable.

Local Favorite Makes Top Travel Choice HARMON BREWERY & EATERY 1938 Pacific Ave, Tacoma (253) 383-2739 harmonbrewingco.com

An American restaurateur once said, “It all comes back to the basics. Serve customers the best-tasting food at a good value in a clean, comfortable restaurant, and they’ll keep coming back.”

Tacoma’s The Harmon does just that.

The brewpub’s casual, welcoming atmosphere combined with inviting, reasonably-priced fare keeps diners returning.

Easily enough for two, the savory hummus appetizer is presented on a platter.

It is accompanied by tender pita wedges, mild artichoke hearts, and lively feta.

Sweet roasted red peppers and meaty Kalamata olives also supplement the flavorful starter. The garlicky chickpea spread is garnished with tomato wedges and cucumber slices. Other appetizer options include crab cakes, coconut prawns, and nachos.

Beer samplers (either flagship or seasonal) are served on undersized skis, complementing the brewery’s ski motif.

The Harmon prides itself on being the hub of craft brewing in downtown Tacoma. Eight beers can usually be found on draught, including the award winning Puget Sound Porter and The Brown Pt. ESB. Other brews are Point Defiance

IPA, Pinnacle Peak Pale Ale, and Mount Takhoma Blonde Ale; their names reflect the Harmon’s commitment to the Puget Sound area.

Dinner salads include grape tomatoes, shredded cheddar, and red onions tossed with mixed greens. The house dressing is a balsamic blend; a combination of honey mustard dressing and balsamic vinaigrette emphasizes the sweetness of both the rich, sweet vinegar and the amber nectar, complemented by the subtle pungency of mustard.

Fish tacos are made from the catch of the day, cooked to the diner’s specifications. Spicy blackened halibut chunks are wrapped in flour tortillas; a cilantro sour cream dipping sauce accompanies them. The coleslaw side is not overdressed and a hint of horseradish can be detected in the cabbage salad.

A halibut sandwich, served on a hamburger bun with roasted red pepper, dill pickle and red onion, contains an unexpected ingredient: brie. Since a small amount of the strong, distinctive cheese is used, it does not overwhelm the delicately flavored fish. Crispy garlic parmesan fries are served with both entrees.

Also available are burgers, sandwiches, chicken pesto linguine, and top sirloin.

The eatery’s peanut butter pie is made in-house. A slab of peanut butter ice cream atop a chocolate cookie crumb crust is sprinkled with chopped peanuts and drizzled with chocolate sauce. Ask for two forks; the generous whippedcream garnished portions are more than enough to share. Other dessert choices are New York cheesecake and Lou’s Chocolate Mountain Surprise.

Just across the street from The Washington State History Museum, The Harmon is a favorite spot for tourists.

Whether you’re making reservations for a big party or in the mood for a casual dinner, the Harmon welcomes you.

OLYMPIA left: FARMER’S MARKET middle: WASHINGTON STATE CAPITAL BUILDING; by dinea norrell right: TOLMIE STATE PARK; by jennifer boutell

Compact, culturally adventurous Olympia is a hip town with a mix of funky, nicely blended local charm to please any traveler’s palate. You can see most, if not all, of it in one day, yet it provides more possibilities than some places twice its size.

At the southern tip of Puget Sound, the exceedingly walkable, shop-lined downtown sits snugly between the East and West bays of Budd Inlet. Made for strolling, the downtown has a park at one end and water’s edge at the other.

Half a day can be whiled away poking in and out of Olympia’s independent shops and cafes. Counter and consumer culture happily converge here, with used bookstores and local clothiers co-existing alongside high-end jewelry stores and galleries.

Artistically-inclined visitors will love it here. It is chockfull of galleries, artisan shops and local arts and crafts vendors. To take full advantage of this we recommend

16 showcasemedialive.com

starting down Capitol Way and heading west on Legion.

Looking for a great backdrop for a photo? Turn down Water Street, past Heritage Fountain to the pier at Percival Landing. Stroll past “The Kiss,” a popular statue on the dock that offer a great photo opportunity with the Olympic Mountains as backdrop.

Continuing down the pier you will encounter Budd Bay Cafe, Dockside Bistro and Anthony’s Homeport.

Olympia’s foremost attraction is the Olympia Farmers Market a quintessential experience: exceedingly friendly, colorful and overflowing with fresh food and community spirit.

Local farms serve up the season’s freshest harvests.

Lunch options abound, whether you’re craving Asian food or bakery items for a picnic on the waterfront located within minutes. An excellent regional favorite, this open-air market is a must to visit.

Cross back over Market Street to the Batdorf & Bronson Coffee Roasters where you’ll find a velvety iced coffee that is wonderful to take on a stroll. Take a moment to notice the waterfront’s timeless beauty, then make your way back into Olympia’s charming downtown district.

A Night Out on the Town

Best Shopping

Waterstreet Cafe features creative fusion cuisine and has been a “Wine Spectator” award winner. Anthony’s Hearthfire Grill offers fresh beef and seafood and an endless view of the sound. Mercato, another urban venue, offers fresh Italian in a casual setting. On a warm night all of these have outdoor seating. Good restaurants for families are the award-winning Casa Mia Italian Pizzaria and South Bay BBQ for ribs and chicken.

After-dinner pubs, jazz bars and clubs offer a variety of live music.

Lined with shops, Capitol and Washington are the main thoroughfares. The downtown corridor’s boutiques, art and antiques dealers are ideal for seeking out that special purchase. There are a number of fantastic destinations here too such as Popinjay, a great place for gifts, stationery and lotions, and Bonaventure, a must-see shoes shop that carries comfortable shoes. Red Door has unique and stylish gifts and accessories.

Olympia’s downtown also includes great antique and vintage shops to suit anyone. Antique Junkie offer funky accents and special vintage treasures to take home.

Olympia’s evening options are similarly eclectic. Stop at SWING Wine Bar for an avante-garde libation and ask for a table perched over the lake. Move to the dining room for a delectable dinner or head out to one of the top-notch restaurants in town.

Continued from page 17 Local theater should not be missed. The town has two reliable sources of evening entertainment. The elegant Washington Center for the Performing Arts is the South Sound’s largest performing arts center. The facility hosts a wide variety of entertainment and cultural activities. Concerts, comedy shows and art exhibitions are among featured events. Refurbished grandeur can be found at Harlequin Productions. These stages bring compelling works from local actors and worldclass performers.

Exploration

As in most cities in the South Puget Sound, being downtown means you’re just a stone’s throw away from the great outdoors. In the morning, cardio buffs skip tea for a run or power walk, enjoying the paths that encircle Capitol Lake. Feeling energetic? Kick things up a notch by combining the lake loop with an uphill trek across the

18 showcasemedialive.com

Fourth Street Bridge to the second roundabout at Seven Oars Park. Not too far beyond is the new West Bay Park.

Head back around the lake again and finish up the Heritage Park Trail, a switchback at the south end that winds uphill to the Capitol. The route offers an invigorating walk or run and amazing views. Tugboat Annie’s has an exceptional deal: two kayaks for two hours and two breakfasts for around $40. Reserve kayaks early so you can experience the morning marine life. Seals and bald eagles are often spotted. Skirt the water’s edge or paddle across Budd Inlet to the downtown marina or all the way across to Priest Point.

Children need a break from adult pursuits? Youngsters love the Hands On Children’s Museum. The largest kid-friendly museum in southwest Washington emphasizes hands-on science and art education. The exhibits are designed to encourage play, interaction and inquiry.

Local Favorite Makes Top Travel Choice THE OYSTER HOUSE

320 4th Ave, Olympia (360) 753-7000

The oldest seafood restaurant in Washington, The Oyster House, overlooks Olympia’s Percival Landing and Budd Inlet.

It’s a casual family eatery where diners can watch televised athletic events and view sports memorabilia displayed in the lobby. Dark wood and rich green colors make the dining room warm and welcoming.

We began with angels on horseback—oysters wrapped in bacon, skewered and then broiled. As the shellfish cook, they curl, resembling angel wings. The smoky cured pork, sweet mollusks, and zesty cocktail sauce are a satisfying starter.

Others include Cognac oysters, crab cocktail, nachos and potato skins.

The house dressing is fresh ginger vinaigrette. Mixed greens come alive with flavor when combined with the spiciness of the pungent root.

Pacific oysters are lightly dusted with flour and pan-fried in butter. The delicate shellfish are accompanied by tangy cocktail sauce, a lemon wedge, and choice of baked potato, rice, vegetables or fries. The grilled halibut sandwich is wellprepared, the flatfish firm and fresh. The Oyster House buys local seafood whenever possible; it’s purchased fresh seven days a week. Only oysters from Oyster Bay, procured from Olympia Oyster Company, are served here.

Other seafood entrees include crab and gorgonzola tortellini, steamers, blackened salmon and coconut prawns. The extensive menu is not limited to seafood, however. Also available are burgers, sandwiches, steaks and pasta. Try the

bacon wrapped filet mignon, teriyaki chicken sandwich or baby back ribs. Salad entrées range from cobb to seafood louie to wonton chicken.

A variety of tempting options are presented on the dessert tray, including mud pie, M&M fudge brownies, bread pudding with caramel sauce, cheesecake and chocolate cake. Fudgy French silk pie is decadent with a double crust—dense brownie on sugar cookie; a tunnel of caramel is hidden within the filling.

Multi-layered banana poppy seed cake is slightly lemony and the flavors are enhanced by buttercream.

Appropriately, the dining establishment began as an oyster culling house owned by the Olympia Oyster Company. As far back as 1859, the company shipped the delicacies to San Francisco where diners would pay $20 per plate. Eventually, the original owners started a small seafood bar in the southeast corner where oyster cocktails were served.

In the 1940s, the eatery began to evolve into a larger operation.

Two or three additions were completed before it was purchased and completely remodeled by the current owner, Rich Barrett, in 1996. The establishment is still patronized by loyal elderly diners who reminisce about the restaurant’s evolution. With public docking available, it’s also a popular place with boaters and families.

There’s a reason The Oyster House is the oldest seafood restaurant in Washington. Fresh, generously portioned food and relaxed, casual dining with a view keep customers coming back. JANAE COLOMBINI

PUYALLUP & SUMNER left: COURTESY OF PIONEER PARK PAVILION middle: COURTESY OF PUYALLUP FAIR right: FRIENDS HAVING COFFEE

Pierce County’s second largest city, Puyallup (pew-ALup) is thriving with travel and fun. Abounding in art, historical attractions, antique shops, and the state’s largest fair, Puyallup has been a top tourist destination for decades. Historical character, first-class amenities and nearby attractions such as Mount Rainier combine to make the area a playground in all seasons.

Sights In A Day Start your day in Puyallup’s most dynamic public spacedowntown’s main street, Meridian Avenue. This very walkable corridor offers people-watching, shopping and dining choices. Start at Anthem Coffee & Tea, located at the corner of West Pioneer and Second. The café brews the best cup of coffee in town (say hi to our favorite barista, Alex). While getting your daily caffeine fix, notice the shop flanks Pioneer Park. With a summer wading pool and playground equipment, this is a fun place to spend a morning; the park displays three local art pieces to admire. It is also home to the Puyal-

28 showcasemedialive.com

lup Farmers’ Market, which is one of the largest and longest-standing markets in Washington. Local farmers and craftsmen display their produce, arts and crafts, and freshly-prepared food. There are places to sit and chat and enjoy the small-town ambience.

Ready for some lunch and shopping? Head south on Meridian to some of our favorite lunch spots. At Auntee B’s you will savor generous portions of home-cooked meals. Craving pizza? Trackside Pizza is your best bet.

The pizzeria makes hand-tossed pies; the kids can create their own child-size pizzas to be baked, hollering “PIZZA UP!” as they’re completed.

Best Shopping Puyallup is known for its “old fashioned” downtown shopping areas; many of the shops are located adjacent to one another on the main streets. Start shopping at 3rd Street Antiques, a 15,000-square-foot mall; more than 60 vendors make it the largest antiques mall in the

district. Just a block over is Victoria Sells Antiques featuring upscale antique furniture, home decor, estate jewelry, black Americana, reproduction Victorian lamp shades and period lighting.

The city of Sumner is just minutes from Puyallup and offers unique shops and a downtown shopping district.

You won’t want to miss The Old Cannery Furniture Warehouse and Fudge Factory, where you can nibble fudge and watch a miniature train as you take in the largest furniture store on the West Coast! A Picket Fence is always a great boutique to visit; it has a fabulous selection of unique gifts through which to browse.

Museums and Entertainment Meeker Mansion was built in the late 1800s; the beautifully restored two-story home was built by Ezra Meeker, Puyallup’s founder and first mayor. Go back in time with a tour through this historic home. Looking for evening entertainment? Don’t miss live music Fridays through Sundays at HG Bistro. Then swing by Mama Stortini’s for an appetizer or dessert.

The Puyallup Fairgrounds is a 160-acres hub of year-long activity. Not only is it home to the state’s largest annual fair, the venue also features a concert series, A Victorian Country Christmas and other events throughout the year.
