Rosario Resort on Orcas Island may not be the posh retreat it was in its heyday, but the historic inn is still one of the Pacific Northwest's most beloved waterfront destinations. And now a special offer that pairs stewardship with a steep discount is certain to win favor with environmentally conscious Seattleites.

You know how it is. You're riding the big bowl at the Orcas Island Skate Park, rolling around like a human BB inside a giant cereal bowl, bending the laws of physics and centripetal force to your whim and, well, somehow it's still not enough.
What better way, then, to break up the potential ennui than by stacking three skateboards atop one another and — after gathering some speed with the BB in the cereal bowl thing — leaping over them. Flying, if only for a moment, like some mini-, non-motorized Evel Knievel.

ORCAS ISLAND We've received an autumn gift from the weather gods sunny, high 50s, almost no wind and friends Carolyn Moulton, Nick Stowe and I have wasted no time in tearing it open and getting down to some serious play. We're pedaling our mountain bikes to the highest point in the San Juan Islands, 2,409-foot Mount Constitution on Orcas Island.
