Beautiful landscaping and historic buildings can be found at this winery. Wandering to the tasting rooms was a highlight as we passed by peacocks and floral gardens. Tasting rooms themselves were slightly pretentious. Staff was light so hard to get service. Nice gift shop options.
2. Saint Edward State Park

Saint Edwards is one of my favorite parks in the Seattle area. It's graced with the old monastery building and some lovely grounds, but most of all it has some serious woods and access - with some effort - to some pristine waterfront on Lake Washington.
The trails are many and varied, but not for the faint of heart. They can be rough and muddy, and you will end up having to deal with some steep sections.
Be sure to look for eagles, especially when you get down near the lake.

We went on a recent Sunday afternoon and pulled into a near empty parking lot. We quickly realized it was obviously due to the football game. The resulting benefit was the added enjoyment of a less than half filled theater. Also, Cinebarre has upgraded their food and beverage service call system. In the past, you would prop your order slip upright on the bar table in front of your seat and then wait for servers to notice. Now, there is a call button evenly spaced along the tables. Service is now faster and you don’t have employees roaming the aisles. Today, I ordered the potato skins and they were great.
6. Marina Park

Marina Park is a lovely spot for a pleasant stroll or picnic. There's beautiful scenery, interesting statues and if you are lucky, a gorgeous sunset. Very clean too. Also, there are plenty of local shops close by to grab a coffee or treats, to enjoy in the park.
However, if you have parked in a nearby pay lot, make sure you check your time regularly. Otherwise, you will get a ticket from the very efficient and diligent parking monitors.

The 144-acre park provides habitat for songbirds, waterfowl, raptors, shorebirds, amphibians, turtles, beavers and other small mammals.
Reviewed By 411Shirley - Seattle
I frequent this park because it is so peaceful. Having grown up in Kirkland, I know this site used to be a golf course. I'm so glad it wasn't turned into a housing development! There are cement trails for wandering the grassy area. My favorites are the wooden walkways that take you out to viewing docks. The walkway you first reach (closest to the parking lot) takes you to a fairly large viewing area where more of Lake Washington is visible as well as swans, geese, ducks, turtles and eagles. My personal preference is the second walkway (further down the cement walkway). It has two viewing areas. From the second one you can watch turtles sunbathing on the logs as well as view the ducks. If you're lucky, a large eagle will be perched in the trees above. I'll include a few pics of the areas I've described.

Small batch whiskey distillery. Tasting Room, Bottle Sales, and Complimentary Tours.
Reviewed By waterandmore - Washington DC, District of Columbia
The tour was excellent and very interesting and informative. The entire operation is fascinating. After the tour, we tried the whiskeys and there were clear favorites. We asked to try the vodka as well and ended up buying a bottle. The American whiskey was preferred of the four offered in the tasting room. It is a great place to stop when in the area. Even if your first love is wine or beer it is quite interesting to hear about their operation.
The Hollywood Tavern is next door and it offers a wide range of foods.

A popular local brewery.
Reviewed By rowidaho - Boise, Idaho
With so many interesting choices for winery and brew pub tasting rooms, Redhook provided a fun venue for a Sunday afternoon. Corn chowder dip was just the right blend of creaminess and bite. Penn Cove mussels were well prepared. Beer choices were broad and flavorful. Fun crowd and great service. Worth a stop!
10. Diablo Lake Overlook

Reviewed By Jade M - Camas, Washington
The overlook has a good sized parking lot, there are some picnic tables here to spend some time and enjoy the view.
The lake is gorgeous and the views all around are beautiful.
You wouldn't need to spend much time here, but it is absolutely a must when driving the North cascades highway.
