Just across the 520 bridge, there lies an oasis named for the Greek word for five, pente. The new Penterra Spa at the Heathman Hotel, set just near the banks of Lake Washington in downtown Kirkland, brings urban elegance and a vast range of luxurious treatments to the waterside suburb.

I usually wash my dogs in the backyard with the hose. It's a cold, chaotic, treat-heavy experience. But today, I turned my guest bathtub into a mini dog spa to sample one of a new line of animal skin care products recently launched by Bellevue organic chemist Adelia Ritchie.

My dog will not wear the Velcro-strap, rubber-soled booties that look so adorable on sled dogs. Whenever I put them on her, she goes into a berserker frenzy. So, when I saw Pawz Protective Dog Boots, I thought, maybe.

I'm a sucker for a bake sale. Throw in a car wash, a raffle and adorable beneficiaries (ferrets!) and you've given me a reason to cross Lake Washington.

I'm beginning to feel like a bird brain. By that, I mean, I have been learning so much about the Seattle bird scene, I'm fairly busting with it. (I should say that the pejorative term "bird brain" needs to be under serious reconsideration as
science learns how sophisticated that tiny processor actually is.)

Next week, the
Dalai Lama will be in town as part of an event aimed to sew seeds of compassion, especially among children. That conference is sold out but it's not the only opportunity to kindle a little kindness in the kids.

Juanita Village is one of those high-density, mixed-use developments
determined to inject some small-town charm into the suburban landscape.
This Kirkland enclave has a distinctly European look. Low-rise
apartment buildings and town houses sport colorful, variegated facades,
some with balconies. Among the boutiques, salons and specialty stores
lining the meandering, pedestrian-friendly streets are numerous spots
to eat and drink — among them 6-month-old Brix Wine Cafe.

If you're a fan of chic shoe boutique Mu.Shoe, but not of the drive from Seattle to Edmonds, you'll be happy to learn that your trek just got a bit shorter -- about six miles, to be exact. Owner Susan Wilson opened her second MuShoe store in Kirkland late last month.
