A wonderful place for families to explore and enjoy ocean-side views, Westhaven State Park is know for the beach fun it can provide. It's also a very popular surf spot on the Washington Coast. Great for a quick getaway, you can head down to Westport for a day or stay at one of the local campsites and turn it in to a weekend camp trip.

One of the best gardens in Seattle. So quiet, beautiful, and well-kept. Plus, it's only $6 to get in! I would recommend coming here at least once a season so you can truly experience the beauty of the foliage.

The Japanese Gardens are great for all types of people, whether you have little kids or are seeking a quiet alcove.

Great spot for sandwiches, gluten-free salads, beer, or high-quality butchered meat. I love the atmosphere inside. Perfect from getting away from the craziness of downtown to enjoy a quiet, tasty meal.

Great spot for a picnic, a quiet lunch away from the office, or to enjoy a little nature while you explore Downtown Seattle.

You probably don’t know that you’ve been missing out on the best Chinese-Korean in town. Heck, you probably didn’t even know that Chinese-Korean food was an option for you to miss out on. I’m here to tell you that it is and you are.

To fill this new found void in your life, go to Red Lantern in the International District. I stumbled upon this gem while searching for authentic dim sum restaurants. I visited Red Lantern believing they had delicious dim sum. While there was a distinct lack of dim sum on their menu, the food they did have made up for it. We ordered a bit of everything–such a large amount of food that our adorable waitress brought over an extra table. Our favorites were the Shanghai Spring Rolls, Sichuan Peppercorn Shrimp, and Red Lantern Greens. Everything we tried was delicious and I can’t wait to go back to explore the menu more.
