Seattle is home to some great mountain biking and some of the best beginner mountain bike trails in the Pacific Northwest. This is a sponsored post from evo — a Seattle based retailer that specializes in outdoor equipment…mountainbikes and more!
Guest author Mark Bennet discusses the best hiking trails at Mount Rainier National Park from the skyline trail at Paradise to the Summerland Trail.
I spent two and a half weeks on the road with a rooftop tent. Here’s a general review with some things to think about if you’re considering buying a rooftop tent.
Obstruction Island just off the southeast part of Orcas Island is a good place for beginner-intermediate kayakers to paddle without being carried away by currents. Here’s more about this satisfying island circumnavigation paddle.
You can only get to Blake Island in Washington State by boat (or seaplane, it turns out). It’s a fun kayaking adventure from Seattle or Kitsap County. Here’s more about kayaking and camping on Blake Island.

All of our cookie cutters are “handmade” items. Or, rather, they are made in our home studio on a 3D printer. We use PLA made of food-grade materials for most of our cookie cutters (actually, all of them at this point — but there’s a chance we might try PETG for some in the future). To keep your cookie cutter (and you) happy and healthy, please comply with the following instructions:
We do minimal post-processing on our cookie cutters — enough to remove strings or obvious bumps, but we do not sand them extensively as it makes no difference in your cookie and is difficult to do on something with as many nooks and crannies as a detailed cookie cutter.
We used to offer our cookie cutters coated with food-safe epoxy resin as an extra for a shinier finish and to fill in some of the inevitable 3D printing gaps — but it was more time and trouble than it was worth and a PLA manufacturer said, “we literally know of nobody who is doing that.” However, if you want to coat your cookie cutter with epoxy, we recommend Alumilite Amazing Clear Cast as it is what we use — it is food safe if cured properly and easy to mix and use.
