Thar She Blows — Whale Watching on Puget Sound

It’s time for whale watching on Puget Sound!
Some tour operators have already started their whale watching cruises, others will be getting underway soon, but the season is officially underway.

The city does not have light rail (yet), a subway system, [...]

Find Out Whodunit at Seattle Mystery Book Store

I love a good bookstore. So many great books on the shelves, calling out to be picked up and fondled, thumbed through, a decision made about whether THIS should be the one that you buy and take home with you.
Seattle Mystery Books is one of my favorite area bookstores. Located in the Pioneer Square area, [...]

Walking with Dinosaurs is based on the BBC documentary series of the same name, and is both scientifically accurate, educational, and entertaining as it takes you back a couple hundred million years ago the the Triassic Period. [...]

Look! Up in the Sky!

As the weather gets nicer, and the cloudy days and nights get fewer, there will be plenty up in the sky to look at.
At the University of Washington’s Theodor Jacobsen Observatory, the second-oldest structure on campus, a 110-year old refracting telescope provides visitors with a view of the heavens. The observatory is open to the [...]

Seattle is getting its share of National Broadway Tours, and this time it’s the homecoming of the romantic musical “The Light in the Piazza.” Homecoming? That’s right!

At Seattle Children’s Theater - Addy: An American Girl Story

If you have a daughter, you’re probably well versed in the existence, background and nuance of the American Girls dolls, books, and background. I’ve seen the dolls, and have only recently begun to understand that they generate a nearly cult-like frenzy with the younger set. There is, however, behind the dolls, an attempt to inject [...]

Waterfall Garden - Pioneer Square’s Urban Oasis

With all the nice weather we’ve been having the last few days, I’m beginning to believe that summer may be here soon. Oh sure, the sun gets interrupted by a little rain, but for hearty Seattle-ites, that’s nothing to think twice about.
What’s been on my mind is finding a place to enjoy the outdoors, a [...]
