EDITOR’S ITINERARY
STACY BOOTH, SEATTLE EDITOR
C E L E B R AT I N G 8 0 Y E A R S O F T R AV E L
Welcome to Seattle
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 the day off right with a bite from Honest Biscuits in Pike Place Market. The shop opens at 8am, and we’d suggest the Pike Place made with Beecher’s Flagship Cheese. Once you’re ready to roll, grab a bike at the 2nd Ave & Pine Street Pronto Station. • Pedal south along the 2nd Ave Protected Bike Lane and dock your bike at 4th Ave & James Street. Less than a block away, you’ll find the Columbia Center where you can visit the Sky View Observatory on the 73rd floor for one of the best views in the city. Once you return to street level, head back to the Pronto station and bike north on 2nd Ave. • Dock your two-wheeled ride at 3rd Ave & Broad Street just across from Seattle Center, home of the Space Needle, EMP Museum, and Pacific Science Center. There are plenty of activities to choose from, but we’d suggest The Art of the Brick exhibit at the the Pacific Science Center. • Ready to relax? Snag a Pronto and cruise down to the waterfront. Dock your bike across from the Seattle Aquarium and head to the Seattle Great Wheel for a ride in the sky. For dinner, check out the newly remodeled Ivar’s Acres of Clams.
80 MINUTES IN:
Woodland Park Zoo
Built on land owned by Guy Phinney after his death, the Woodland Park Zoo (www. zoo.org. 5500 Phinney Ave. N, 206.548.2500) opened in 1899. Today, it has a variety of animal exhibits organized by geographical location. Enter off of Phinney Ave. N at the West Entrance and turn right to start at the penguin exhibit. These tuxedoed gents are part of the Humboldt Penguin exhibit that opened in 2009. From there, head east to Tropical Asia, where you’ll see tree kangaroos, Asian small-clawed otters and one of the newest exhibits, the Malayan tiger brothers. Olan, Liem and Eko appear alongside sloth bears in the Banyan Wilds exhibit. Nearby, you can also spot gorillas, including the new baby Yola, and, just south of Tropical Asia in the African Savanna, giraffes, hippos and zebras. The African Savanna also has an African
Village, a model of how people of the savanna grasslands live. Two more fun stops: The Willawong Station in the Australasia section, where you can get up close with Australian parrots—purchase a seed stick and the birds will eat right from your hand! And newly opened spot Molbak’s Butterfly Garden allows you to immerse yourself among North American butterflies. There are nearly

500 free-flying butterflies in the garden. If you're in town in the evening, check out the lineup for ZooTunes, a summertime concert series held in the zoo's North Meadow. August acts include Ziggy Marley on Aug. 2, Pink Martini Aug. 3 and 4, Jeff Beck Aug. 21 and hometown favorite Brandi Carlile Aug. 23 and 24. Zoo admission isn't included with the concert tickets. The Woodland Park Zoo is open daily from 9:30 am-6 pm. From downtown, take the No. 5 bus to the West Entrance.
Watch the sunset with a glass of wine on the brand-new patio and congratulate yourself on a day well done.

OPPOSITE PAGE: ©2TAM/STOCKIMO/ALAMY STOCK PHOTO. THIS PAGE: COURTESY ALKI KAYAK TOURS
It’s impossible to visit Seattle without noticing all the water. Surrounded by salt and fresh water, there are plenty of ways to explore this side of the city. Head down to the waterfront for three options, the first of which is a ferry ride to Bainbridge Island or Bremerton. Find the ferry terminal (www.wsdot. wa.gov/ferries) at Pier 52. On Pier 55, Argosy Cruises (www.argosycruises.com) has three cruises that leave from the waterfront. Go sightseeing on the Harbor Cruise or the Locks Cruise, or have a four-hour excursion to Tillicum Village, which includes food, a performance and Native American storytelling. Pier 69 is home to the Victoria Clipper (www.clippervacations.com), where you can go whale watching or take a trip to Victoria, Canada, or the San Juans.

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 How would you recommend visitors spend a summer day in the city? I would try to get them out on a water tour if they only have a day. If they are more adventurous, send them on a hike to the Cascades or go to Mount Rainier and visit Paradise. Those things just never get old to me. If money isn’t an issue, grab a Kenmore Seaplane and fly to Roche Harbor for the day and have lunch at McMillin's on the deck! Truly special.
Barry Barr [Founder, KAVU]
Barry Barr founded KAVU after he kept losing hats to the wind while fishing in Alaska. The hat he created stayed on his head—and in the company catalog. Find it and all of KAVU's outdoor apparel at two area boutiques or at kavu.com. Where spoke with Barr about his Seattle favorites and what he won't leave home without. KAVU stands for Klear Above Visibility Unlimited, and the website says it's an acronym for the perfect day. What is a perfect day for you? Every day could be my perfect day as I believe a KAVU day is a state of mind. If I was to pick one of my favorite KAVU days, it would be waking up camping after a night under the stars, going for a great hike with my family. At the top of the hike I would launch my paraglider and take one of my kids tandem. I would fly down; land at the campsite next to a river or lake. We would then catch dinner and cook over a fire.
What is your favorite thing about Seattle? I love the access to the Salish Sea and Lake Washington.
amazing and they make us feel like family. I would also include Macleod's
Any favorite hikes or trails nearby people should check out? I love to hike and get rewarded with a view. Poo Poo point in Issaquah because I hike and fly my paraglider off that. My other favorite hike is The
What restaurants do you love to go to? There are so many awesome restaurants, it is hard to choose just one. I will give you two: Brimmer and Heeltap and RockCreek. Both are in the Fremont/ Ballard area. Both of those restaurants are just amazing! Any favorite bars to grab a drink? Yes of course! I just love the Shelter in Ballard. It is a place we always go; the staff and owners are
Mailbox (Mailbox Peak): It will humble anyone. Do you have a favorite landmark? Ballard Locks, it never gets old to me on foot or transit through on a boat. What is a favorite park? Golden Gardens, I just love the smiles the beach and the water put on people. The bonfires and sunsets are so Seattle. You travel a lot. What is the thing you look forward to when returning home? I love coming home and getting on our boat with my family and going into the San Juans. Speaking of travel, what is your favorite place in the world to visit? Hong Kong and Bilbao, Spain. What’s the most epic trip you’ve ever taken? I had that trip last month. I went on a two-week surf trip to remote Indonesia—an island archipelago called the Telo Islands. It was a very remote expedition with only eight fun people. Truly a trip of a lifetime. It was so remote and so far from any civilization; it really had an impact on me in a good way. Anything you always pack when traveling? A smile is the most important thing to travel with. Don’t leave home without it.
RockCreek Seafood & Spirits in Fremont is one of Barr's favorite restaurants.
