While recently on a day trip to explore the wilds of Bainbridge Island, I was pleasantly surprised…read moreto stumble on the Chief Sealth Gravesite. Located in a small graveyard behind a tiny church, the gravesite is very well marked if you follow the signs. It was really neat to experience a piece of Seattle history, and honor the proud man after whom our great city was named. This is definitely worth a detour if you're touring around Bainbridge - it was only about 5-6 minutes off the main road.

It's a HUGE reserve and just absolutely stunning. You're provided with a map when you come in. There is also ample parking available. There is plenty of walking trails and different flora surrounding the space. There are benches scattered around the reserve if you want to take a moment to soak it all in. It's a great forest bathing space. I loved visiting it.

Maybe I'm naive, I'm definitely on a budget but I think nature should be free or at least more affordable for all to enjoy, the very nice employee let us know that they do have some days when entry is free or pay what you can but it's some special day like the 3rd Thursday of the month but only if there's a full moon and raining.

They are all arbitrary depending on the mood and the weather of the people who work there, including James (the man in charge). If you are a couple please note that you may be put into a plane with other people regardless of what plane and option you picked. You will not know about it until you get to the meeting point and one couple will not get to sit together. Thus, it may be better to look into other companies and there are others! If you are planning to go as a group, there are better and more professional establishments which are cheaper and/or same priced. The only saving point of this establishment is Mark (seaplane pilot) who made all the efforts to not only ensure that our experience on the air was great but also to redeem the Company. Overall, in the state where aviation is one of the major industries, there are better, more professional, and cost efficient companies and small businesses. Try them. They will have more respect and consideration for your experience. If you insist on booking from this establishment, exaggerate your weight to make sure that they cannot fly anyone with you.

I learned about this tour from a friend and I think it's fairly new. At any rate, interesting tour. Not your typical here's the city and these are some of the landmarks and here are some fun facts. The difference is this tour was focused around the public art that can be seen everyday along the streets and sidewalks, built into the infrastructure, in the form of manhole covers or hatches as they are referred to. The folks conducting the tour included information of the various artistic manhole covers, combining it with first hand information from the artists and discussed the history of the work and how it fits into the identity of Seattle. They also provide information on the history of the city and how Seattle became the city you see as you take the tour. Pretty neat concept exploring aspects of the city that folks often take for granted as they pass by. Another fun fact about this tour is that it evolved out of an art project. I thought that was particularly interesting. Some of the prints, etc are pretty cool and again not what you would typically expect or encounter from one of these free tours. I'd recommend this tour to anybody to who wants to learn more about the history of Seattle, who appreciates public art or art in general and who has a free hour or so on a Saturday morning.
