Love the 3 par, 9 hole course! Plus two eighteen-hole, links-style courses, driving range, practice putting green and bunker, and a great eighteen hole miniature golf. Their clubhouse has beautiful view of the course - and dining on the patio - which is heavenly in spring/summer/autumn.

A wonderful retreat from city life. Restaurant on main level is a bit upscale (reservations recommended), however climb the stairs to "The Attic" for a cozy, warm winter evening, with beautiful sunset views of the Cascade mountain range and the falls. Tasty happy hour fare and acoustic music on Fridays. The Lodge also has a luxurious spa - mmmm!

I love this store if I am looking for Quality, Organic foods and personal items, and am willing to spend a few extra bucks to get it. They have excellent prepared foods, produce is exceptional and they have a nice little cafe to sit and sip an espresso. Note: they were just purchased by Amazon - so waiting to see if anything changes; so far - all is the same :)

Fabulous musicals from Broadway and originals, in one of the most beautiful Theaters in the Northwest - if not the world. Intimate and elegant, great staff, and great views from all seats. Some theater-goers are dressed to the "9s" - but alas a good portion of 21st century audience members are much more casual.
