The establishment our family has eaten at the longest. Best tofu scramble around. Also, old school breakfast cafe with things like bacon and eggs...for those who still eat that sort of thing. 5-7 minute drive from the studio.

Beach and wetlands
Pritchard Beach is just down the road from the studio. There's a wetland park as well to the south. Good birding for those with that skill. And if you happen to be at the studio around father's day Pritchard Beach offers a one-of-a-kind slip-n-slide spectacle...once a year.

Rainier Beach Urban Farm and Wetlands
5513 S Cloverdale StWalking/running/everything park
Seward Park is one of Seattle's gems. A 2.5 mile walk around the perimeter gives the walker/runner a view of Seattle, Mercer Island and Mt Rainier. There's a great beach, a large kids play area, a pottery studio, a Nature Conservancy office and many hidden, fun paths to be explored up and through the inside of the Park. Several times a year there are 5k and 10k runs.
