A: We're motivated to do new concepts when they add value to the community. In the case of Cortina, we’re excited to bring a sophisticated bar and restaurant to a downtown business district, but have it feel comfortable enough that people want to go there every day after work. Super Bueno, in Fremont, came about because we wanted to do something fun and different and family focused, which is why you'll find a very kid-friendly menu and play area. Q: What's your idea of an ideal Seattle summer day?
A: Our perfect day involves taking our kids for a hike at Discovery Park, stopping for dim sum lunch, and then a visit to Woodland Park Zoo. Q: Where do you like to take out of town visitors?
A: We do the usual city tour, including Pike Place Market, but also enjoy introducing friends and family to places they might not think to go. 6
WHE RE I J U LY 2018
Our kids love the Museum of Flight, and that's always a fun day trip for all ages. If the Mariners are playing, we'll always go to a game. Q: Care to share any “hidden gems”?
A: For great Thai, try Pestle Rock, a little holein-the-wall in Ballard and Sen Noodle, their sister restaurant next door. Sweetgrass (downtown) has some of the best health food in the city. VIF Wine & Coffee in Fremont is the perfect place for a Seattle coffee experience that can also be a great Seattle wine and food experience. Finally, for sweet treats: We can't get enough of Frankie & Jo's. It's plant-based ice cream with unique flavors. And we can’t leave out Hello Robin cookies—the Mackels'more is one of the best things you'll ever taste. EXPLORE MORE Seattle has so many terrific neighborhoods. Ballard is a favorite; it has great shops, restaurants, craft breweries, bars, parks and even a beach.

Grab a spot on the patio and make the most of the summer weather. RELAXING WITH a
fantastic meal outside is one of summer's great pleasures— all the better if your table has an amazing view. For all of the above, head to Seattle's waterfront. A local favorite since 1938, Ivar's Acres of Clams (ivars. com; pictured above) serves sophisticated seafood-focused cuisine along with more casual fare like sandwiches and chowder on its patio, while its walk-up counter Ivar's Pier 54 Fish Bar offers grab-and-go fare like fish 'n' chips to enjoy as you stroll along the waterfront. Considered one of the country's best places for seafood, Elliott's Oyster House (elliottsoysterhouse.com) at Pier 56 has alfresco seating to rival its signature menu offerings. For the waterfront's funnest (and messiest!) dining experience, hit the deck at The Crab Pot (thecrabpotseattle.com) at Pier 57, where your server will pour out a "Seafeast" on butcher paper, give you a mallet and bib, and let you dig in. 14

Day fireworks show above Lake Union is one of the country's greatest, with more than 8,500 pounds of fireworks ignited in dazzling displays choreographed to a musical score. Not surprisingly, the event attracts droves of people to Gas Works Park, which offers arguably the best view of the spectacle. To snag a seat, plan to arrive very early— there will be lots to entertain you all day at the Seafair Summer Fourth event—(see right) or splurge on reserved seating ($40-$60, seafair.com). Lake Union Park, on the opposite side of the lake, is smaller and slightly less packed, but still offers a great view, not to mention a beer garden.

Terrific Trails
THIS IS THE SEASON to take it outside and enjoy a slice of life in the great outdoors. Luckily, you don’t have to go far to enjoy what nature has to offer here in Seattle. There are plenty of parks with outstanding walking and cycling trails in the Emerald City—and many more within a short drive. So, grab your backpack and escape the hustle and bustle of the city for a few hours to breathe deep and experience the wild, natural beauty that surrounds you.

PARK LIFE Located on Magnolia Bluff, overlooking the Puget sound, Discovery Park is the largest city park in Seattle at more than 500 acres. With two miles of tidal beaches, open meadowlands, spectacular sea cliffs, and forest groves, there is plenty of peace and tranquility here to go around. There are more than seven miles of hiking trails in the park, including the popular threemile Loop Trail that circles the park. Off the Loop Trail, you’ll find three different routes to choose from that will take you down to the beaches—South Beach Trail, North Beach Trail and Discovery Park Boulevard. Don’t miss West Point Lighthouse, which marks the northern extent of Elliott Bay. Just five miles southwest of downtown Seattle, Seward Park is an in-city hiking destination with miles of trails, shoreline and beaches—not to mention eagle’s nests where, if you’re lucky, you might spy a Bald Eagle. A 2.4-mile biking and walking path encircles the park, but we’re fans of taking one of the trails into the park and its 120-acre forest of old-growth trees, known as The Magnificent Forest. Over on the Eastside, Saint Edward State Park has 3,000 feet of shoreline on Lake Washington. The six-mile North Trail takes you through a grove of 80-yearold cedar trees on its winding leafy path through the park. If you’re looking for something more thrilling, the park is also known for its many popular mountain biking trails. Grab a free map at the ranger station and head out on the adventure of your choosing.
CITY TRAILS Paved urban Elliott Bay Trail follows the shoreline of Elliott Bay for roughly five miles—from South Royal Brougham Way across from Pier 66 in the SoDo district, to Smith Cove Park in Magnolia, and offers stunning views of the Bay, the Puget Sound,
the Olympic Mountains and the Seattle skyline. Running parallel to Alaskan Way, you can easily hop off the trail for a detour like lunch at the Pike Place Market, and then continue on down the trail through Myrtle Edwards and Elliott Bay Park on this picturesque tour of the waterfront. The popular Burke-Gilman biking and jogging trail begins in Ballard's Shilshole Bay and ends in Bothell, where it connects to the Sammamish River Trail, making it possible to travel all the way to Redhook Brewery in Woodinville, a fun trek on a bike.
EASY GOING If you're looking for a relatively flat walk, try the Green Lake Park Trail, a 2.8-mile path that loops around the north Seattle lake in one of the city’s most beloved parks. A little oasis in the midst of an urban neighborhood, when the sun comes out to play, Green Lake is crowded with walkers, bikers, rollerbladers, and people just watching the world go by. Afterwards, relax with a picnic, or swimming and boating in the lake. Keen gardeners shouldn't miss the chance to stroll through the picturesque trails winding through the 230-acre Washington Park Arboretum. It's home to a Japanese garden, which compresses mountains, forests and rivers into a beautiful mini-environment. If you're lucky, you may catch one of the tea demonstrations the garden occasionally hosts.
FURTHER AFIELD For those who'd like to venture outside of the city, King County's Trailhead Direct service provides weekend bus service between the Capitol Hill Link Light Rail Station and Mount Si trailhead in North Bend. The rugged beauty of Mount Si can be explored via a four-mile trail with an elevation gain of 3,100 miles, which also offers an amazing view of Mount Rainier.

FESTIVALS Three days, six stages, 92 musical acts and more than 20,000 attendees make up the Capitol Hill Block Party (capitolhillblockparty.com), an annual festival that runs July 2022 in the city's hippest neighborhood.

In addition to performances from alternative acts Car Seat Headrest, Kyle Craft, Thao (of The Get Down Stay Down) and more than 20 others, Timber! offers a full schedule of outdoor activities from yoga and kayaking to nature painting and wilderness safety classes. The family-friendly festival's Camp Timber! program offers special concerts and activities to keep the kids happy.

This month’s eclectic lineup of Marymoor Park Concerts includes Vance Joy on July 1, electronic band Sylvan Esso on July 14, and Sublime with Rome and Lupe Fiasco on July 28; some highlights later in the season include Willie Nelson and Family with Alison Krauss on August 1 and Jason Mraz on September 8 and 9. A portion of the revenue from ticket sales supports the operation and maintenance of King County Parks. Add together big-name musicians, a beautiful venue and some of the best wine around, and you’ve got the recipe for a great night out at the Chateau Ste. Michelle’s Summer Concert Series, held at the venerable winery’s amphitheater in Woodinville. There are nine shows in July alone; highlights include Woodinville Bluegrass Classic with headliners Bela Fleck & The Flecktones on July 13, Sheryl Crow on July 21 and 22, Wine Country Blues Festival: TajMo: The Taj Mahal & Keb’ Mo’ Band, Dirty Dozen Brass Band on July 29. Proceeds from the series support the winery's charitable contributions program, which benefits a wide range of non-profit organizations.

For some music during the daytime, the Downtown Summer Sounds concert series, presented by the Downtown Seattle Association (downtownseattle.com) features free shows at various venues in the downtown area starting July 9 with Kenya-born folk singer-songwriter Naomi Wachira. Visit the website for the full lineup of more than 30 through the end of August. Every Saturday and Sunday at 2 p.m., head to the Ballard Locks (ballardlocks.org) for the free summer concerts series, which offers everything from marching-band melodies to show tunes to jazz. In addition to the music, you can check out the fish ladder, stroll through the botanical garden and watch the boats in the locks transition from freshwater to saltwater. Concerts at the Mural (seattlecenter. com/concertsatthemural) sponsored by Seattle Center and alternative radio station KEXP, bring live music to the Mural Ampitherater every Friday in August, starting with local all-female punk band Tacocat on August 3 , followed by the Afghan Whigs on August 10.

WHERE IN SEATTLE
We’re addicted to delicious barbecue.
For more great dining in the city visit wheretraveler.com
Jack's BBQ The owner of this laidback SoDo spot hails from Texas, where 'cue is more about the smoke than the sauce. Feast on ribs, brisket, sausages and more smoked over oak, mesquite and hickory, but be sure to leave room for a smoked cocktail and slice of pecan pie. There's also a Jack's BBQ concession at Safeco Field, home of the Seattle Mariners. jacksbbq.com Wood Shop BBQ Already a popular food truck, the brick-and-

WHE RE I J U LY 2018
mortar location in the Central District serves Kansas City-style smoked meat plates and sandwiches, but we're hooked on their smoked jalapeño mac and cheese topped with pulled pork. thewoodshopbbq.com Pike's Pit Bar-B-Cue It's easy to find this Pike Place Market favorite— just follow your nose. The tangy aroma comes from 16-hour smoked meats topped with your choice of sauce, from mild to "Damn Hot!!!" pikespit.com
The Boar's Nest This old-school barbecue joint in Ballard offers a wide range of regional styles, including Carolina mustard-based, Alabama white and Kentucky bourbon-infused sauces. Heat-seekers should try the roasted habanero. ballardbbq.com Bitterroot The "Northwest BBQ" (try the pork belly confit on a pretzel roll) at this stylish Ballard restaurant is paired with an equally impressive whiskey list. bitterrootbbq.com
COURTESY JACK'S BBQ
If the hot summer days are making you crave 'cue and a cold drink, Seattle has plenty of great options.
