All You Need Is Love, and ChocolateWelcome to the new WhereTraveler Seattle magazine! This is the first edition published under the locally owned Encore Media Group, and we’ve got an amazing team of Seattleites ready to guide you toward all the best the city has to offer. I’ve been a contributor to the magazine for several years, and I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to become its editor and highlight the amazing aspects of the city I call home.

Love is in the air this month, but I don’t need Valentine’s Day as an excuse to enjoy chocolates. Here are a few of my favorite local chocolate purveyors:

Fran’s ChocolatesWhen Fran Bigelow opened a patisserie in 1982, she was credited with sparking the artisan chocolate renaissance. I’m partial to her Gray Salt Caramels. They come in a beautiful box with a satin ribbon, so I like to give them as a housewarming gift. (President Obama was also known to gift these to White House visitors when he was in office.) Four locations; frans.com

Seattle ChocolateYou can find Seattle Chocolate’s truffles and bars all over town, but it’s most fun to go to their Tukwila factory for a tour that explains how chocolate is made, takes you on a walkway above the factory floor, and ends with a tasting. Don’t miss their Jcoco line of culinary-inspired flavors; I’m obsessed with the Cayenne Veracruz Orange. 1180 Andover Park W; seattlechocolate.com

Theo ChocolateTheo Chocolate’s flagship in Fremont has a generous number of samples available, so you can try before you buy. There’s also a popular hour-long factory tour that takes a deep dive into chocolate-making, and some delicious limited-edition confections that you can only get here. For something different, try the Cinnamon Horchata bar. 3400 Phinney Ave N; theochocolate.com

THE GREAT OUTDOORS GEAREver since the Klondike Gold Rush took the city by storm, Seattle has been known as a top-flight spot to outfit oneself for an outdoor adventure.

C.C. Filson capitalized on the needs of those stampeders by opening C.C. Filson’s Pioneer Alaska Clothing and Blanket Manufacturers in 1897. Today, Filson’s is still providing rugged gear for outdoorsy people; you can visit the flagship store in the SoDo neighborhood and take a tour of the factory on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

In more-recent years, tons of other local brands have popped up, including ExOfficio, known for its travel-friendly clothing (shop retail stores in Bellevue Square and reopening soon at Sea-Tac International Airport), and Kavu, which founder Barry Barr started out of the back of his car in 1993. Check out the original product, a cap designed to stay

on your head while adventuring, and their bags, clothing, and accessories at shops downtown and in Ballard.

If you’re a camper, browse the cozy down jackets and sleeping bags at South Lake Union’s Feathered Friends, founded in Seattle in 1972. Across the street, the flagship location of REI has pretty much every piece of gear you can imagine in its 100,000 square feet, along with a climbing pinnacle and biking trails. In SoDo, the company store of manufacturer Outdoor Research (founded in Seattle in 1981) has tons of goodies for climbers, hikers, backpackers, and more.

On a budget? Grab some secondhand gear at great prices at Ballard’s Wonderland Gear Exchange and Ascent Outdoors, Greenwood’s Turntables & Trails, and South Lake Union’s Play It Again Sports.

INSIDER

The Birth of REIIn 1935, Seattle-based Lloyd and Mary Anderson decided they needed an alternative for buying their outdoor gear. Back then, a top-notch ice axe went for $20 (about $375 in today’s dollars). It was a rip-off, marked up by local middlemen, and the Andersons knew there had to be a better way. So they started ordering their gear directly from Austrian outfitters, using Mary’s German reading skills to navigate the catalogs. (They got a very nice ice axe for $3.50.)

When friends and fellow adventurers heard word of this ingenious plan, they wanted in on it, too. The Andersons started collecting requests and making orders in batches. Then it dawned on them: This could be a business, buoyed by their collective buying power.

In 1938, Lloyd, Mary, and 21 others officially formed a co-op, Recreational Equipment Incorporated, selling gear on the shelf at a grocery store—and thus REI was born. Each original member paid a lifetime joining fee of $1; today, that fee is $20.FOR BOLD ITEMS, SEE LISTINGS IN THE GUIDE ON PAGE 24

REI


DowntownThe core of the city is jam-packed with things to see and do—you can shop the department stores, go to dinner and a show, or wander along the waterfront. And, of course, there’s that little destination known as Pike Place Market, an unmissable stop on any trip to Seattle.

Pioneer SquareSeattle’s original downtown brims with history, from the Richardsonian Romanesque buildings to the purple glass squares in the sidewalk that hint at another world below street level. While Pioneer Square has some of the city’s oldest architecture, there’s a lot that’s new, too—hip galleries, buzzed-about eateries, and locally owned shops.

Chinatown-International DistrictInfluenced by a variety of Asian cultures—Chinese, Japanese, and Vietnamese, to

Welcome to the NeighborhoodSeattle is a city of neighborhoods, each one brimming with its own personality and character. In fact, many of these neighborhoods were cities in their own right once upon a time, which lends to the distinctive charms. Get to know them here.

name just a few—the ID is chock-full of culinary highlights. Whether you’re looking for sushi, dim sum, ramen, pho, or egg tarts, you’re sure to find something that satisfies. Fun fact: Bruce Lee opened his first martial-arts studio here.

SoDoSports fans flock to SoDo (that stands for south of downtown), an industrial neighborhood that’s best known as the home of T-Mobile Park (Seattle Mariners) and CenturyLink Field (Seattle Seahawks and Seattle Sounders). When you’re not rooting for the home team, drop into one of the pubs or tasting rooms in the area.

Capitol HillBar hopping, brunch eating, and boutique shopping—if you’re looking for Seattle’s coolest neighborhood, you’ve found it here. Densely populated Capitol Hill is a walkable hot spot for dining, drinking,

music, and more. It’s also known as the city’s LGBTQ hub, which you’ll see reflected in rainbow-painted sidewalks.

South Lake UnionOnce a light-industrial district, South Lake Union has dramatically changed in recent years, thanks to its role as the home of Amazon’s headquarters. Now this quickly evolving neighborhood with a techy vibe is full of new eateries and lots of on-the-water opportunities at Lake Union.

Queen AnneThis charming neighborhood has a little bit of everything. Lower Queen Anne boasts the Seattle Center, where you’ll find some of the city’s most famous attractions, including the Space Needle, while Upper Queen Anne houses breathtaking views and beautiful homes (many in the Victorian-era Queen Anne style, hence the name).

BallardThis historic fishing community is becoming more modern by the day, but

it still remains in touch with its Scandinavian roots. See vessels make their way between Puget Sound and Lake Union at Ballard Locks, shop the trendy boutiques, and spend some time along the shoreline at Golden Gardens.

FremontEverything you need to know about Fremont is encapsulated in its motto: “De Libertas Quirkas.” (Translation: “Freedom to Be Peculiar.”) You’ll see that peculiarity through landmarks like the Fremont Troll, who lives under the Aurora Bridge; a 53-foot-tall rocket that blows smoke; and a larger-than-life cast bronze sculpture of Vladimir Lenin.

BelltownEat, Drink, and Be Merry Populated by young professionals living in shiny condos, Belltown has everything you need for a fun time, day and night.

EAT Fuel yourself for the day ahead at CJ’s Eatery, a classic breakfast spot that has something for everyone, including more than a dozen styles of omelets. For lunch, Karaage Setsuna serves up a fusion of Hawaiian and Japanese cuisine; the star is the karaage, a type of fried chicken. In the evenings, dimly lit List offers tremendous value for its small plates if you time it right—get half off from 4 to 6:30 p.m. and again from 9 p.m. to midnight. (Try the black truffle gnocchi.)

DRINKYou have to go to Some Random Bar just so you can say you went to some random bar—but fortunately, they happen to serve good, not-so-random drinks and food, like local beers on tap and crab nachos. If you want to bring a feeling of the tropics to a cold February day, take a seat on one of the colorful barstools at Navy Strength and let them make you a tiki-inspired cocktail. For great coffee and an environment conducive to catching up on email, settle in at the minimalistic Cedar & Spokes.

BE MERRYCatch a movie at beloved Cinerama, where the chocolate popcorn is just as much of a draw as the films playing. For vintage fun of the pinball variety, dive bar Shorty’s is the pick. And if you want to experience a little piece of Seattle history, see a show at The Crocodile, which hosted all the grunge bands back in the day.

Cinerama

WallingfordA dash of vintage, a splash of trendy, a sprinkle of family-friendliness, and a dollop of beautiful Craftsman architecture make up the ingredients of leafy Wallingford. Probably the most photographed spot here is Gas Works Park, a unique park built on a former industrial site that provides unparalleled views of Lake Union.

University DistrictHome to the University of Washington, the U District features a laidback, youthful vibe. Budget eateries, lively watering holes, and funky boutiques line “The Ave” (University Way), and there are more great browsing opportunities at University Village, an upscale open-air shopping center.

West SeattleThis tight-knit neighborhood, located on its own peninsula, is just across the bridge or a short water taxi ride from downtown, but it can feel like its own little world. Its outdoor assets are among its best, including Schmitz Preserve Park and the popular Alki Beach, and you’ll feel the strong sense of identity in its indie shops and restaurants.

GeorgetownAn industrial area that still retains its edge, Georgetown is gritty in only the coolest of ways. Abundant art, beer-slinging breweries and taverns, funky shops, and old architecture all add to the blue collar–meets–bohemian sensibility that permeates one of the city’s oldest neighborhoods.

Columbia CityThere’s a familial, friendly feeling to the ultra-diverse neighborhood of Columbia City in the southeast. Most of the businesses are concentrated along a small stretch of Rainier Avenue South, which makes it highly walkable—and for those without a car, there’s a convenient light rail stop nearby.

EastsideJust to the east of Seattle on the other side of Lake Washington sits the appropriately named Eastside, Seattle’s eastern suburbs. High-end shopping in Bellevue, ample wine-tasting opportunities in Woodinville, and waterfront parks in Kirkland are just the beginning of what these cities, which all sport their own special vibe, have to offer.

LeavenworthFind alfresco adventures and indoor indulgences in this Bavarian-inspired village

Two-and-a-half hours east of Seattle, a picture-perfect winter wonderland awaits. Tucked at the base of Washington’s Cascade Mountains, Leavenworth features charming alpine architecture and enough natural beauty to brighten any February day.

Outdoor enthusiasts will enjoy a variety of unique activities, from dog sledding to birding (think osprey,

eagles, kingfishers, and orioles), while families love to go ice skating, tubing, and sleigh riding together. Locals suggest hiking up Icicle Ridge or along the Wenatchee River on the Tumwater Pipeline Trail, which crosses a picturesque red iron bridge, or taking a fat-tire bike onto the Leavenworth Winter Sports Club trails (find rentals at Arlberg Sports Haus).

Snow conditions in the

surrounding Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest delight snowmobilers and snowshoers. On Feb. 1, take a naturalist-led snowshoe tour with Wenatchee River Institute along beautiful Icicle Creek at the Leavenworth Fish Hatchery. Then, of course, there’s the region’s coveted skiing, both downhill and Nordic. Leavenworth has its own ski hill—complete with rope tows, terrain park, and tubing appropriate for all ages and skill levels—but if you crave more speed, this town serves as a prime home base for Mission Ridge and Stevens Pass, with a daily shuttle traveling to and from Stevens. Companies like Northwest Mountain School guide

adrenaline junkies on ice-climbing expeditions, too.

Those looking to indulge in the romance of the season can stop by local wineries and tasting rooms during Wine and Chocolate Week (Feb. 9–17) or sign up for Sip and Paint classes at Icicle Creek Winery and Leavenworth Cider House. J5 Coffee hosts a chocolate tasting party on Feb. 5, while Icicle Brewing Company proves an ideal spot to raise a glass all month long. (Live music happens here on weekend nights.) Cozy up with loved ones as you sample the vibrant brewery’s Bootjack IPA or Priebe Porter, preferably accompanied by a warm Bavarian pretzel.

Museum ManiaFind yourself equal parts educated and entranced at Seattle’s storied museumsBY HALEY SHAPLEY

The Burke Museum’s Paleo Gallery


Seattle may be famed for its outdoor adventure, but there’s no shortage of indoor attractions worth your time, too. Every February, guests staying at more than 50 participating hotels in Seattle receive admission to many museums around town for half price. Whatever you’re into—from art to animals to aviation—you’re bound to find the perfect place to learn something new.

Uniquely SeattleLooking for an experience you won’t find any-where else? Visit South Lake Union’s Museum of History & Industry (MOHAI), which explores the Puget Sound’s heritage in innovative ways—like a musical that tells the story of the Great Seattle Fire. Next door, the Center for Wooden Boats is a fun spot to learn about maritime his-tory, and you can even take one of the vessels for a spin yourself.

Over at Seattle Center, MoPOP—devoted to all facets of pop culture—is hard to miss, with its architectural fusion of shiny textures, bright colors, and unusual shapes. Opening this month, Body of Work: Tattoo Culture takes a deep dive into the history of tattooing in North America, looking at various styles, indigenous work, and pop culture’s role in how tattoos are viewed. Through pho-tographs, short films, and interactive experiences, see how this fascinating art form has evolved, and don’t miss the photo op in a vintage tattoo chair.

A short walk away, Chihuly Garden and Glass has been one of the top-rated attractions in the city since it opened in 2012. Each of the eight galleries focused on a differ-ent aspect of world-renowned glassblower Dale Chihuly’s career is beautiful in its own way, but the pièce de résistance is the 40-foot-tall Glasshouse. (Want to see more of Chihuly’s cre-ations? Head to Tacoma Art Museum and the Museum of Glass, both in Tacoma.)

In Tukwila, the Museum of Flight has one of the largest air and space collections in the country; on display is the first presidential jet plane, the supersonic Concorde, and the third 787 Dreamliner ever made.

Art SmartAfter three years, the Seattle Asian Art Museum is reopening this month in Volunteer Park on

Capitol Hill—you can use Seattle Museum Month passes starting Feb. 12 to see the new galleries, organized by themes such as worship, celebration, and identity. Its sister museum, downtown’s Seattle Art Museum, is full of art that spans the globe, from Aboriginal Australian paintings to African masks.

On the University of Washington’s campus, Henry Art Gallery showcases a mix of estab-lished and emerging artists. On Thursday eve-nings, their Critical Issues Lecture Series brings in different artists to discuss ideas and questions related to contemporary art. For an exploration of recyclable materials, visit the Bellevue Arts Museum, where artist Maria Phillips’ exhibition Hidden in Plain Sight features items rescued

before they inevitably found their final resting place in a landfill.

For the Entire FamilyIf you’re traveling with kids in tow, the waterfront’s Seattle Aquarium is a crowd-pleaser, featuring the cutest northern sea otters you could hope to see, gently floating moon jel-

lies, and tide pools that allow touching. For more animal experiences, wander through Woodland Park Zoo in Phinney Ridge, founded more than 120 years ago. The zoo is organized by habitat, so you can see the gray wolves and snowy owls of Northern Trail, the Chilean flamingoes and red pandas of Temperate Forest, and the orangutans and tapirs of Tropical Asia.

For curious kids, the Pacific Science Center in Seattle Center is always a fun time—planetarium presentations, laser shows, interactive experi-ments, and a tropical butterfly house keep people of all ages educated and entertained. The Burke Museum on the University of Washington’s campus is another great find for any generation. The natural history museum was renovated last year and features dinosaur fossils, native art, and play areas.

Pinball! Computers! Combat armor! There’s so much more to explore. To see a full list of Seattle Museum Month participants, visit seattlemuseummonth.com.


History LessonWho lives in Seattle and how did they get here? Explore this question from a variety of angles at area museums. The National Nordic Museum in Ballard gives a wonderfully com-prehensive primer on the culture of Nordic countries, along with exploring why residents from these north-ern climes made their way to the Pacific Northwest in large numbers.

To learn about 300 years of history of African Americans in the region, visit the Northwest African American Museum in the Central District. One of the current exhibitions, from

local artist Hiawatha D., celebrates the power and beauty of black women history makers.

For background on the Asian Pacific American experience, Wing Luke Museum in the International District is the place to go. In addition to indoor exhibits, the mu-seum offers walking tours of the neighborhood—this month’s food tour focus is on delicious dumplings.

Day-Trip DestinationsHeading south from Seattle, LeMay–America’s Car Museum in Tacoma celebrates the country’s love affair with the automobile,

covering more than 100 years of car culture.

To the west, hop on a ferry from downtown’s waterfront and take a one-hour sailing to Bremerton, where you’ll find the USS Turner Joy. This naval destroyer, which was com-missioned in 1959 and saw action during the Vietnam War, is now a museum you can tour. Also on the Kitsap Peninsula, the Suquamish Museum—located on the Port Madison Indian Reservation—takes visitors through the Suquamish tribe’s past, present, and future, explaining their lives, values, and language (Lushootseed).

What do you like about the Northwest this time of year?The thing that I love the most is in the wintertime it’s oyster season. I love oysters; it would be my last meal.

What else?It’s a good time to go roller skating. You can either go up to the Lynnwood Bowl & Skate for the old-school roller-skating experience—it looks exactly the same as when you were a kid—or go down to Southgate Roller Rink in White Center. They do amazing programming; they often have a band set up in the middle of the rink, and you skate around them.

In a nod to your podcast, what restaurant makes a good candidate for a last meal?There are two places that I could go to all the time: I love Chiang’s Gourmet up in Lake City—they make really delicious homemade noodles—and Breezy Town Pizza in Beacon Hill, which is kind of a mix between Chicago and Detroit style. Their Pepperoni Paint Job has a layer of pepperoni under the cheese, and then on top of the cheese is the crispy pepperoni that curls up like little hot tubs filled with grease. It is so delicious.

In honor of Seattle Museum Month, do you have a favorite museum in the city?Inside Café Racer is the Official Bad Art Museum of Art. They have a lot of really, really ugly paintings, and they also have a whole section that’s devoted to paintings of Barack Obama. It’s kind of like the sum is greater than its parts—if you see one ugly painting, it’s bad, but when you see 100 ugly paintings, it’s beautiful.
