THE D'S LIST
Grab your pen and paper or more likely open your
“note” app on your phone and start your summer to-do
list. This is only a hiccup of options, but lucky for you the
rest can be found at www.dlistmagazine.com/events.
SILVER FALLS
PARADISO
About an hour and 40 minutes from Seattle in
Mount Rainier National Park will be worth the

mighty Ohanapecosh Falls. Feel free to take a
break (and your clothes off ) and dip in the hot
springs to relax.
If you haven’t been, this year is your year. The
three-day festival from July 17 - 19 at Seattle
Center will have your gluttonous side jumping
for joy as you gorge on American to ethnic
foods, sip on wine and chug some beer with
music and entertainment to watch.
