SEATTLE OUTDOOR CONCERT GUIDE 2021 After a 2020 of only occasional and peculiar outdoor music, the summer of 2021 looks to be a return to a (subdued, still peculiar) normal.

CRYSTAL MOUNTAIN GETS GLAMPING TENTS THIS SUMMER After a particularly strange ski season of masking and restrictions, Crystal Mountain becomes something else entirely this summer: a glamping site. Hospitality company Under Canvas will set up Crystal Sky Camp, 20 tents decked out with king-size beds and wood-burning stoves, around the mountain’s Campbell Basin Lodge. Camping, but

comfortable.

TRAILHEAD DIRECT RESTARTS BUS SERVICE TO HIKING TRAILS Fortunately, King County Metro is bringing back Trailhead Direct on June 5, restarting a seasonal program that first began in 2018 as a two-year pilot program. By year two, around 17,500 hikers accessed North Bend and Issaquah trailheads through the service, but in 2020 it was halted for pandemic reasons. Busses will run on weekends only from WHO'S RUNNING FOR MAYOR IN SEATTLE? The former SuperSonic is running for mayor again after an unsuccessful bid in 2009. Following his retirement from basketball, Donaldson started a physical therapy clinic. He’s since focused on speaking (and writing) about mental health awareness and suicide prevention. Donaldson doesn’t believe Seattle can accept the “status quo”

anymore.

SAINT BREAD, A NEW DESTINATION BAKERY, ALIGHTS ON PORTAGE A bakery and cafe counter called Saint Bread opened softly this week in a former motor boatyard on the shore of Portage Bay. It occupies a spare, newly sparkling building that was used to be a machine shop within the Jensen Motor Boat Company complex.Inside, a menu of pastries, toasts, and sandwiches can trace its DNA directly back to

the London Plane.

HOW SHOTA NAKAJIMA TURNED TOP CHEF INTO AN INTERACTIVE The line materialized fast. By 11:10am last Saturday, a queue of 80 stretched down Pike Street and well around the corner.

PACIFIC GALLERIES ANTIQUE MALL WILL CLOSE THIS SUMMER The saddest of news for those of us who love roaming its aisles in search of vintage finds. Pacific Galleries Antique Mall has announced it will close on August 31..
