The Dock is a great place to catch the game, with screens indoors and out, with some pretty excellent eats as well. Try the Cajun Shrimp, and order extra bread to sop up the sauce. http://fremontdock.com/

If you head up to Capital Hill try out the Pine Box. They have a ba-jillion beers on tap with a great international selection and you'd be supporting our neighbor up the street who owns the place. It's in a great location walking distance to tons of other bars and restaurants.

For those gray days when some hot soup is just the ticket, Ramen Man is the play. The Spicy Original is our favorite, but be warned; the orange paste is habanero, and will be roughly 4 out of 5 for your average heat level. Open 4:30 to 10 pm.

Carefully crafted Mexican food with a range of margaritas to choose from the full bar. If you have a little time to kill, pull up the bar, get a scratch margarita and the black bean queso. They also have locations in Ballard and Redmond. They are 21+, so leave the kids at home!

Seating is limited here, but the brisket and ribs taste good anywhere. Going any time after 1 pm will get you a seat right away. The two meat combo is plenty of food for two people; the sweet potato tots are spectacular dipped in one of their signature sauces.

Located in the Edgewater hotel, the restaurant features a wall of windows with views of the Sound and the mountains beyond. You can watch the ferry come in, and if you’re lucky, you might spot a whale! The food is excellent; Julie and I like to stop in for brunch and happy hour.

Parks & Nature

Gas Works Park is a terrific place to watch the 4th of July and New Year’s fireworks displays! The view of the city skyline is perfect, with Lake Union in the foreground and unobstructed views of the Space Needle. Located close by on Brown’s Point, it’s a great place to walk to on a sunny day. You can lay out a blanket for a picnic, or even reserve one of the picnic areas on the website below! http://www.seattle.gov/parks/find/parks/gas-works-park

There’s no better spot to catch an excellent sunset than Golden Gardens. The park boasts a sandy beach, volley ball nets, playground equipment and views of the Olympic Mountains across the sound. It’s one of two beaches in Seattle where you can light a fire in the designated fire pits while you take in the sunset or kick back and stargaze. The firepits are first come, first served, but we often show up with a bundle of wood and make new friends with the offering. The park opens at 4 am and closes at 11:30 pm. Check out the website for the history and picnic or bathhouse reservations. http://www.seattle.gov/parks/find/parks/golden-gardens-park
