There's great hiking around there, plus Leavenworth is a fascinating town
that tries to copy Bavaria :-). Try researching the Washington Trails
Association (http://www.wta.org/)

If you're in Seattle, there's a Hare Krishna place in the U-District on
University Way NE. Good conversation, good food (it's free)

There's also a great store in the Ballard neighborhood called Second
Ascent. You can buy really good gear second hand there.
