Little Kids, Big City
I love walking tours, or at least the idea of them. I am an all-weather walker, and I enjoy knowing that Gub is already developing a map sense of her city. Of course, she is still too young to appreciate the educational aspects of a walking tour, but I when I am with her, I often find myself looking at things I'd passed a million times before without notice.

Back in the dark ages (circa 1988), before earth-toned residential monoliths sprang from every corner, Seattle's mainstay restaurants quietly pulled off the daily miracle of providing the masses with quality food and attentive service. Today they have plenty of company, but we salute them and accord them their proper status: as veterans, pioneers -- and the kind of places where your parents pick up the bill when they come to visit.

The sprawling woods of Mount Vernon's Eagle Rock Challenge Course hold
high-elevation webs consisting of ropes, beams, tires and swings that
seem as diabolical as they are intricate. During the past six years
they've revealed fears and courage, turned muted personalities into
leaders and hosted companies, church groups, sports teams, at-risk
youths and even brides-to-be.

Not all of Seattle's great restaurants are new. NWsource presents Seasoned Seattle, an opportunity for you to sample a prix-fixe dinner at the best of the city's old-timers -- Elliott's Oyster House, Salty's on Alki, The Georgian and nine others -- for just $25 a plate. That modest investment gets you an appetizer and an entrée, or an entrée and dessert -- to say nothing of a sense of supporting the old Seattle, the one you fell in love with all those years ago.

While my dogs motivate me to get out of bed in the morning, Shannon Ritscher's animal companions (an eight-year-old dog named Sweet Pea and two cats, Mike and Wednesday) inspire altogether grander and greener pursuits.

Men have enjoyed the luxury of custom shirts for centuries, and most major cities can claim more than one talented shirt maker. But did you know that perhaps the world's only custom shirt maker for women is located here in Seattle?
