The Pacific Northwest is full of unique ways to enjoy the outdoors, but one of the most relaxing has to be the floating saunas from Wild Haus @WildHausPNW . I recently had the chance to experience one firsthand, and this is the ultimate relaxation-meets-adventure experience in the PNW! Luxury with a View When I first…
It’s a good idea to revisit a destination from time to time to make sure the favorite spots still live up to the memories while discovering some new favorites. My latest outing to Woodinville’s Schoolhouse District and Wine Walk Row did just that. Plus, it meant the chance to visit a couple of spots previously overlooked –…

The Pacific Northwest is known nationwide for its ever-growing selection of craft beverage establishments, but up until a few short years ago, Renton had a distinct lack of craft breweries and watering holes.

The rain was falling hard and a fading fog hung thirty feet above the dark Puget Sound waters—just enough light to see the giant metal mouth of the M/V Chetzemoka maneuvering in for a safe docking. Once aboard, most people stay in the cars. It’s a quick 20 minute sailing to Tahlequah. Today, I’m visiting…
