Innovative dining fills the polished shell of a freshly restored building as Cook’s Tavern trots the globe with its rotating menu full of exciting options. Argentinian flavors might feature for a time before giving way to Cuban specialties like seared albacore rubbed with ancho and cumin. The art on the walls is local and most of the beers on tap are, too. Happy Hour EVERYDAY:3-5 & 9-Close

I love Cheney stadium because it feels like you're walking into the past. The wholesome good times vibe surrounds the updated building and adds to a fun night of baseball and fireworks. Love seeing the local artists/symphony/chorus perform the Star Spanhled Banner! There is a lot of class without the huge cost of a Seattle game

The hot shop is a first hand look at glass artists in action; great seating and overhead screens afford everyone a good view. Since the exhibits change periodically, you can go back several times and always see something new. We always take our visitors here for the shear beauty of the exhibits and talent represented.

Parks & Nature

Want to spend the afternoon in a big park, but don't want to leave the city? Visit Point Defiance. From the ocean at Owen's beach, to the gardens or old Fort, and the Forrest trails there is a little something for everyone! Hiking, biking, photography, picnicking, and zoo enthusiasts need to visit this beautiful park. It's a long time favorite with my family and we visit monthly all year long
