Seattle Style File
Since 1934, Byrnie Utz has provided Northwest locals and visitors with well-designed, stylish hats to complete their looks or simply to keep their heads warm. This family-owned and family-operated hat shop, still in the same location where Byrnie Utz first set up shop 72 years ago -- Union Street and Third Avenue -- continues the old-fashioned traditions established by its founder.

The walk: Wrap-around views of Elliott Bay, the Seattle city skyline and the Olympic and Cascade mountain ranges await visitors to Admiral Heights, a quiet residential neighborhood on a ridge above Alki Beach in West Seattle.
I started this walk at the intersection of Southwest Admiral Way and California Avenue Southwest, north of the "Junction," the business district that grew out of the convergence of two streetcar lines in the early 1900s.

WHITE PASS On a clear day, views from the summit at White Pass Ski Area sweep out over Mount Rainier and the Cascades.
Zipping up the high-speed quad, visitors can reflect briefly on the better-known, more accessible resorts, where fellow skiers forked out more dough for longer lines and probably not-that-great snow.
By the time they reach the top at 6,000 feet, though, who has time to feel smug when there are a dozen tree-lined runs of nice, dry powder to choose from?

LAKE CHELAN - Not much - and everything - has changed since 1957, when Shiro and Louise Kashino first arrived at Campbell's Resort and then decided to spend every summer vacation at Lake Chelan.
Three generations of Kashinos and 43 sun-drenched Julys at the lake are recorded in nearly a dozen thick photo albums stacked high on the coffee table at the Kashinos' Seattle home.
The Kashino girls morph from diapers to bikinis before your eyes. Shiro "Kash" Kashino's hair grows more silver with a turn of the pages.
