Urban Paddle
Canoeing the Green River from Kent to Tukwila offers solitude and a sense of adventure
The giant bridge ahead and the distant roar of loud car engines were telltale signs that we were arriving at I-405 in Southcenter. Though instead of zooming toward an onramp at 70 miles per hour, we were floating lazily down a river at approximately two miles per hour. Over the Fourth of July weekend, my…
Nature Rx
Rediscover your health through these increasingly popular outdoor wellness hacks
It could have been the fact that I was lounging in a comfy recliner, staring out of the open-air room at the Four Seasons Resort Maui, in Hawaii, listening to birds chirping, surrounded by exotic plants and palm trees. Perhaps it was the calming outrigger canoe ride I had taken from the shores of Wailea…
Climbing Rocks with Spikey ToolsÂ
Dry tooling is an increasingly popular and challenging adventure
Scratch, tap, squeak. The sound of my tools pierces the cold fall day, awakening a primal feeling within me. These tools aren’t meant for building a house, or crafting a sculpture, but for climbing on rock…
Powder Buff
Creating those slippery slopes is quite an undertaking

Cowgill Trail Collective began group runs along trails in 2021 to build community in Seattle and beyond through running. Co-founder Aaron Long saw a need for a trail-specific running group, and he wanted to make it fun, social, and something folks would return to again and again, and not just a training group…
A Flatlander Finds Inspiration
Rookie climber discovers beauty, challenge in the mountains
Sprinting down the steep slope as fast as my snowshoes would allow, I called out to a pair of fellow climbers, “Do you have any ibuprofen?” Suffering, scared, and with two aching knees, my brother-in-law, Turner, slowly made his way down to Colchuck Lake, head held high, tail between his legs…
The Wild Sauna of Seattle
A taste of Norwegian culture comes to the Pacific Northwest
In the heart of Kirkland, tied up to a public dock, one of the United States’ first floating saunas bobs on Lake Washington, providing a unique experience inspired by sauna culture in Norway. On a recent crisp chilly day, I had the opportunity to visit Von Sauna…
