Best Beach in Kirkland

"When things hot up in summer, Seattleites don’t have to travel far for a day at the beach. Arcing down to Alki Point at the tip of West Seattle, Alki Beach is a sweep of sand angled towards Elliott Bay. The raised promenade behind has the sort of views you expect from Seattle’s coastline, encompassing Blake Island, the Olympic Mountains and the constant stream of water traffic on Puget Sound."

"Located in West Seattle, Alki Beach features a long beach strip, picnic tables, a bathhouse, and an art studio. Most visitors go to enjoy the beach life, as well as the swimmers who brave the cold waters of Puget Sound. In November 1851, Alki Beach was the site of landing by settlers who were on their way to Seattle."

"Being one of the few sandy beaches in the area means it is usually packed in the summertime. It also has a wonderful view of the city from its spot across the Puget Sound. The views are great during the day but it’s at sunset that you will get the best photos of the Seattle skyline."

"The Mount Baker Beach is housed within the Mount Baker Park situated on the shores of Lake Washington. This recreational spot is perfect for a weekend, as it offers several outdoor activities along with enjoying the cold waters at the beach. There is a playground for the kids, tennis courts, and a wide-pathway that leads to Lake Washington Boulevard."

"Housed in the Denny Blaine Park, which is also called the nudist park, the Denny Blaine Beach is encircled by an old wall that was constructed in the year 1917. This grassy beach has plenty of areas for picnicking, sunbathing, and playing volleyball. Visitors can also take a short walk to the Lake Washington Boulevards nearby or visit Howell Park, Lakeview Park, and Viretta Park located a few miles away from the beach."

"GeorgetownCharlie Dunmire and her team of all-women bakers offer flavors like London Fog (earl gray cake held together by bergamot mascarpone cheese) and the chocolate-rich 9lb Porter in the form of soaring cakes (the vanilla bean custard reaching heights of nine layers of milk–soaked pastry). Dunmire takes special orders and can add a smattering of gold leaf or fresh flowers. These confections require careful prep, so get your order in seven days before pickup."

"Seattle’s favorite airstream cake shop — a staple for years at the Georgetown Trailer Park Mall — moved in to a bigger, more stationary home in the fall of 2018. The shop now operates out of a historic market space on Carleton Avenue and still slings fan favorites like the London Fog and 9LB Porter. It’s currently on winter break, but reopens February 4."

"The London Fog (above) figuratively stands above the other tall rounds at this breathtaking Georgetown bakery. Owner-baker Charlie Dunmire invented the oddly lovely, gray-frosted layer cake after being inspired by looseleaf Earl Grey tea. Her goal: figure out how much of the flavor she could recreate in cake form."

"Yes, that magnificent mash-up exists at Tangletown's Japanese bakery, which serves as a lovely spot for takeout treats after a Green Lake loop. And there's plenty more where that came from, from the generous chocolate cake to the pear franzipane. View this post on Instagram"

"WallingfordIn a compact brick storefront, baker Kara Burfeind builds fanciful creations out of a range of classic cake flavors like chocolate peanut butter and lemon cream. The SweetSide has a stable of go-to specialty designs, from a spray of tasteful frosting flowers to mermaid or macaron themes. But Burfeind’s happy to put her pastry degree to use on mega-custom cakes shaped like Lego characters or a fondant-wrapped calculator."

"A female only spa (sorry fellas), Ladywell’s focuses on hydrotherapy’s healing powers. They have 3 pools- a whirlpool, a soaking pool, and a plunge pool. They also have a dry cedar sauna, a steam bath and an infrared pink salt sauna with sand floors."

"I went and saw Amaris at Skinspirit in Bellevue for a few units of botox between my eyebrows. She was great, it was quick, and pretty much painless. I will say, it was expensive and I think I am going to be trying out a different place next."

"Fine dining and vegan food haven’t exactly seen eye to eye, but this inviting and inventive restaurant in an old storefront on 45th may change that thanks to their constantly changing five-course prix fixe dinners with dishes like celeriac ravioli in an apple wood smoked carrot sage fennel sauce, and Tiramisu made with Theo's chocolate mousse."

"No matter what city you visit Ruth's Christ Steak House in, it's good. And, the same holds true for the location in Seattle, where it's one of the best steak restaurants."
