Summer may be short on days in Seattle, but it is long on sunshine, with 18 hours of daylight and 10 pm sunsets. Try dining al fresco at any of the places on this list. Make sure to visit the troll under the bridge in Fremont. A great outdoor spot is the park around Bastyr University. Seattle Center has outdoor tables. Or grab a blanket and head for the Arboretum to dine among the trees, then visit the Japanese Garden. How about some golf? There's terrace dining at Interbay Golf Course

Bastyr University

14500 Juanita Drive Ne, Kenmore, WA 98028

Located on the grounds of St. Edwards State Park, Bastyr University— named after legendary naturopath, Dr. John Bastyr— has the longest area of undeveloped waterfront on Lake Washington. If you are a rabid biker, you will enjoy the dirt bike trails, BYO helmet and kneepads.

Woodland Park Zoo

601 N 59th St, Seattle, WA 98103

Lions and Tigers and Bears, oh my!

The zoo has recreated natural looking habitats for the lions, gorillas,and elephants. Don’t miss the rose garden outside the south entrance — best time of year is June.
