Make your own cocktails and mocktails in Seattle’s Greenfire Loft, using lab gear like a smoking gun, test tubes, and shakers.

“I went solo and was a little nervous walking in, but the second I put on the lab coat it felt like I’d stepped into my own tiny science movie. The host was warm and attentive without hovering, and made it super easy to mingle if you wanted or quietly tinker at your station if you didn’t. By the end I’d met a few new people and had a stack full of mocktail ideas I can recreate at home.”

“Although we've visited Seattle and its surrounding areas many times, this was our first adventure to Bainbridge Island—and it did not disappoint. The ferry ride from Seattle is a breeze: just under 30 minutes and less than $15 round trip per person. Super easy to navigate! Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed at the ferry entrance by our guide, who handed out bottled water and set the tone for a thoughtful, well-paced tour. Our stops included the Japanese American Exclusion Memorial, the peaceful Labyrinth, scenic Rockaway Beach, and a charming local distillery. We even got to meet Pia the Peacekeeper, which was a special highlight. Our guide was exceptional—attentive to…”

A two-hour Ballard brewery walk with Salmon Bay views and tastings at Jolly Roger, Fair Isle, and Obec for $65.

“This was such a great way to learn about some of the many breweries in Seattle, specifically the ones in the Ballard area. We went to seven different breweries. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and took us to a variety of breweries. I don’t love beer (this was a birthday gift for my partner who loves beer), so our guide made sure to get cider or other options for me. We were the only two on the tour, so we enjoyed having a private tour with a lot of information and yummy tastings. It was a beautiful night in Seattle and a fun way to learn about local breweries.…”
