Pickleball is a Northwest original. It was invented nearby on Bainbridge Island. Two guys wanted to play Badminton. They couldn't find a shuttlecock. But they COULD find a Wiffle Ball. For better or worse, Pickleball was invented.

Superb views and experience on an unforgettable 25 minute flight. The aircraft glides out onto lake Union or Lake Washington. You climb out above our beautiful city touring the sights with Mt. Rainier and Mt. Baker majestically in the distance.

Make sure to arrive early. Jim can help with the arrangements.

Chihuly Glass Gallery is right next to the Needle. A combination trip is the way to go. Parking can be an issue, but we have excellent transit options. Including our famous monorail. The most retro-future transport in the US.

Woodland Park Zoo is excellent. The enclosures feature few fences. The raptor exhibit often has Bald Eagles on display. Seeing them up close is transformative. A personal fave is the Orangutan House.

If enough people want, we can set up a guided tour on Saturday or Sunday. Call/text me at 206 327 7087

Open all Weekend

Home of the famous "Flying Fish". You probably won't be buying any but someone else will so that you can witness a Seattle tradition. The Market is eclectic to the max. Drop down a floor and find shops unlike any other. Parking can be tough. We can help with suggestions.

The Market sits just above our renovated Waterfront. The Aquarium, loads of restaurants and our new Waterfront Park are just below the Market and well worth the trip.
