Best breakfast in Seattle - hands down. Order the smoked salmon benedict. You won't be disappointed! (Note: there is always a line. Expect to wait - just order a coffee and grab the paper while you wait....)

Small, secret strip of a park, but beautiful west facing views of Olympic Mountains, Golden Gardens beach and marina below from the top of the bluff. Great jogging destination - only 1.5 miles from the house. Can hear the seals in the distance bark if you're lucky and a train or two whistle by below.
