Wonderful Washington Wine Country!

March 1, 2020 By Seattle Fun Comments Off

Did you know that Washington is the second biggest wine-producing state in the whole of the United States? We are blessed to have so many of these fine wineries in our own backyard!

The Washington State Wine Commission reports that we’re home to nearly 1000 wineries, more than 350 grape growers, and 50,000 acres of vineyards ~ that’s a lot of grapes! Yes, Washington cultivates nearly 70 different grape varieties, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, and Chardonnay.

The largest of Washington’s wine regions is Columbia Valley, stretching nearly 11 million acres, and produces 99% of all the wine grapes grown within Washington. The wine region reaches to the Oregon border and includes appellations such as Horse Heaven Hills, Red Mountain, Yakima Valley, Walla Walla Valley, Horse Heaven Hills, and more.

While most of the wine-growing region is located in Eastern Washington, many of the wineries have set up shop with tasting rooms in beautiful Woodinville, Washington. There are now more than 100 tasting rooms and wineries located in Woodinville, located just 30 minutes away from downtown Seattle.

SEA Black Car by Shuttle Express can whisk you away to the wine country, secure in the knowledge that we provide safe, reliable, and trustworthy transportation. Whether you grab a big group and reserve a van or mini-coach or prefer a chauffeur-driven limo, we are your Wine Country HQ. At Shuttle Express, we also offer share-ride and private transportation services, including ADA accessible vehicles. The fleet includes luxury vans, shuttle, motor, and mini-coaches for those special group outings to the wineries.

The month of March is designated as Washington Wine Month, culminating in the annual event Taste Washington held at CenturyLink, Seattle, from March 19-22, 2020.  Taste Washington is the state’s premier wine and food festival, featuring 200+ wineries and 65 chefs/restaurants preparing delicious bits. Tickets are on sale now at https://tastewashington.org.

Let SEA Black Car by Shuttle Express take away the stress of finding parking for this popular festival of food and wine, but more importantly, let us provide safe transportation door-to-door for you and your party so you can enjoy the experience of tasting some of the best Washington wines.

4 Dangerous Washington Hikes

It’s not too late for an invigorating trek through a few of Washington’s more challenging hiking spots! Check out MyNorthwest’s top four dangerous hikes and the best way to get there (hint: Shuttle Express drives anywhere, getting you and your group there safely and stress-free, no danger involved).

From rain forests to mountains to lakes, rivers and grassy meadows, it’s no wonder Washington is a hiker’s paradise. In fact, according to Washington Trail Association’s hiking guide, the state is home to nearly 3,400 trails, any of which might offer some fresh air, spectacular scenery and a good day’s exercise.

If you’re looking for a little more than a walk in the park, the state is home to several hikes waiting to challenge the adventure junkie. These four trails will have your heart pumping — both from exertion and adrenaline.

Muir Snowfield, Mt. Rainier National Park

If you’ve always wanted to tackle Mt. Rainier but haven’t any climbing experience, Muir Snowfield might just satiate your curiosity. Camp Muir — the endpoint of this spectacular hike — is as high as you can go on the mountain without a climbing permit. Beginning at Paradise, this trail is 8 miles round trip, but don’t plan on making quick progress. Until August, the trail is generally covered in snow, and with an elevation gain of nearly 5,000 feet, you’ll be huffing and puffing by the time you reach the camp. Save some energy for the last 250 vertical feet, which Washington Trail Association calls “interminable, even for strong climbers.”

Lake Constance, Olympic National Park

If you’re an avid hiker, you’re no doubt familiar with Olympic National Park, home to some of the region’s most beautiful trails. Widely known as the hardest and steepest hike in the park, the Lake Constance Route offers no mercy to novice hikers. A 5-mile hike with an elevation gain of nearly 3,500 feet, the trail can be very steep at times. Hikers will enjoy beautiful views of Constance Creek, Lake Constance, waterfalls and mountains and is best used from June to October.

Granite Mountain, Snoqualmie Pass

No one ever plans to wind up in a mountain avalanche, but if you’re traversing Granite Mountain, you’d best be prepared. In fact, Washington Trail Association recommends hikers have experience with travel in avalanche terrain before attempting the trail, which runs 8.6 miles round trip and gains 3,800 feet – nearly 1,000 feet per mile. Hikers will navigate large boulders and rocky hillside as they climb higher on the trail. Those who reach the summit will be richly rewarded with spectacular views of Mt. Rainier, Kaleetan Peak and Crystal Lake.

Mailbox Peak, Snoqualmie Region

Yes, there’s a mailbox at the summit. No, it’s not easy to get to. Historically, Mailbox Peak was a hike for ultradaring (and possibly masochistic), hikers, but after massive erosion and countless injuries, the trail was rebuilt — though not for the novice. Gaining 4,000 feet in less than 5 miles (the hike is 9.4 miles round trip), you’ll huff and puff your way through nearly 4 miles of steep switchbacks. To get to the summit, you’ll traverse 960 vertical feet in only a half mile, making that mailbox a welcome sight.

Getting there

With hiking the state’s unofficial favorite pastime, you can count on these heart-pumping trails to be busy during the summer and early fall months. Parking spots can be scarce, so beat the road traffic and get on the trail as soon as possible with Shuttle Express service. With casual van service for up to 10 hikers plus gear, coach service for groups of 14 to 55 and even overnight service for weekend hikes, you can relax and enjoy your outdoor experience without worrying about traffic, parking and leaving your car.

Admission is free, but donations are suggested.

Carpinito Brothers Pumpkin Patch

Carpinito Brothers U-Pick Pumpkin Patch and Corn Maze kicks off its 25th year on Friday, Sept. 29 and is open for family fun through Oct. 31st.

Have fun!

Tricks to Find More Time in Your Weekend

If your two days of weekend freedom zoom by at lightning speed with little to no relaxation or fun to be had, read on for some easy, proven ways make your weekends seem just a little bit longer.

 

Try Something New

Instead of doing the same ‘ole stuff every weekend (Netflix binge, Chinese takeout, more Netflix), try a new activity or go somewhere you’ve never visited. There’s solid science behind this suggestion: neuroscientist David Eagleman studies the brain and our perception of time and he says your brain works harder at collecting information when you’re doing something unfamiliar. One reason may be that you’re creating a more thorough memory, which makes sense, because when you’re doing something routine you may not be as present and “in the moment” as when you’re learning a new hobby or visiting an unfamiliar location. So, expand your horizons and it may expand your weekend.

 

Make Tasks Serve Double-duty

This suggestion isn’t new or earth-shattering, but it’s worth noting since it really does free up time. Look at your “to-do” list for the weekend and see how many of them you can double-up. Here are some ideas to get you thinking:

  • Work out with your family: Get your workout in and spend quality time with your family, at the same time – go for a hike with the kids, play catch, or go to the park with friends and family for a volley ball game.
  • Catch up on your reading while working out or driving – audible.com offers numerous titles, or listen to your favorite podcast for information or motivation.
  • Pencil in some weed-pulling or other gardening task and count it as part of your work out.

 

Rework Your Schedule Slightly

  • Consider Friday night an important start to the weekend—don’t just crash, if you can help it. Plan something enjoyable and get your relaxation and fun started immediately.
  • Don’t leave all the chores from the week for the weekend, since that’s a sure way to kill your fun and suck up time. If you can, schedule a task each week night for 15 to 20 minutes so you’re free and clear come Friday at 5 p.m.
  • Don’t sleep your weekend mornings away, at least not entirely. Get your needed ZZZ’s, but fill your days with enjoyable activities, friends, and fun.
  • Plan your TV and social media sessions, don’t just mindlessly consume 10 hours of House of Cards. The shows will be there later, but precious weekend time waits for no one.

 

Let Someone Else Drive

  • This one works any time, not just on weekends. Don’t waste time behind the wheel, fighting traffic, and searching for that elusive parking space—hire someone to take care of this.
  • If you’re planning a weekend date night, book a car so you can enjoy your night out. No teetotaling required.
  • If your friends and family are gearing up for a day trip, it’s easy to charter a bus and split the costs so everyone can relax and enjoy the trip.
  • Headed to a meeting during the work day? Use the time in the car to work and prepare, get door-to-door service, and arrive fresh and on time. Forget traffic and parking hassles. You just saved an hour of your day.
