Spending The Holiday In Seattle!

I'm going to be visiting my brother in Seattle from the 18th to the 27th -- I just confirmed my airline reservations.

I'm going to do a search on this board for restaurant recommendations and such, but I was also wondering whether anyone knew of stuff I should just plain do in Seattle while I'm there for the holidays -- I know it's going to be cold, but I'd be particularly interested in anything that might involve _hiking_ and _mountains_. My brother's a big hiker/kayaker and will definitely have some ideas, but I'd love to hear what anyone else has to say.

Yea!!!

Hike the Ho rainforest. Walk the Dungeness Spit. Kayak from Bainbridge to one of the nearby islands.

Go to <www.rei.com> and check their calendar. Sometimes they have some cool stuff (like guided snow shoe trips) around Christmas.

Gluten-free Girl's chef-fiance's restaurant is in Seattle. He makes almost everything safe for people with celiac, so that she can eat there. It's called Impromptu Wine Bar and you can find posts about it on her blog: Open Original Shared Link

I can't vouch for it personally, but the way she talks about the food makes me want to go to Seattle just for dinner!

Check out: www.pacificcoastrestaurants.com for some good grub!

Some very high class restaurants in the NW. Stanford is great, as is the grill, and Newport Bay.

Good luck! Try and stay dry :P

do you subscribe to "living without"...they just had a huge list of gluten-free restaurants (both chain and local, separated by state). you might want to pick it up if you can!

Wow -- this is great, everyone. I'm definitely going to Impromptu and the hiking ideas sound great -- although my brother seems to have his own mysterious plans about what kinds of outdoor activities we'll be doing (all I know is that he asked me to be sure I've packed my rainpants as well as my regular shell)! He's also been talking up some kind of Seattle underground tour...

Edit: Uh -- now that I'm looking at the weather, I realize that those rainpants may just be an everyday precaution! Wow -- looks like the Pacific NW is getting hit hard!

The Underground Tour is great - ask him to sign you up for the 'adults' tour; it's better. :P

Yeah, the weather has been... interesting. Snow the day after Thankgiving, massive rainstorms earlier this month, and the windstorm last night.... 700,000 customers without power, said one of the main power companies around here. (Seattle proper wasn't too bad, but we didn't have power for ~24 hours, and we're one of the ones back on early.) Lots of snow over the pass (got to learn how to put on tire cables today!), and trees down all over the place, including one in our back yard (so now we own a chainsaw!).

I'm sure you'll enjoy it, but I am curious what sort of hiking he's thinking of. I swear I'm going to need snowshoes. (If you have skipants for that sort of thing... Might be good.... :) )

      Nausea

      I have trouble with nausea. It often starts when I’m anxious about something (home repairs, sick dog) but continues long after the home is repaired or the dog is healthy again. When it happens I eat less and lose weight. My gastroenterologist suggested ginger or peppermint tea. I don’t know if that will work or not because I haven't had the problem since she...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet. I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now. He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs. It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc. It's literally neurological inflammation. Not to be taken lightly here. We...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-F...

      Nausea

      Hi all I was diagnosed Coeliac a few years ago and follow a gluten free diet. The list of foods that I can eat without a problem grows shorter on a weekly basis. [I also have diabetes and asthma also]. BUT the reason I am posting this is because I seem to struggle with nausea quite a lot, which is really quite debilitating, and I was wondering...

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick. I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you
