Happy Hour and Dessert in Capitol Hill

  Happy Hour Street Tacos with Carne Asada and a Miami Vice from Poquitos.  Poquitos is located in Capitol Hill and they're serving up authentic Mexican cuisine and cocktails.

A Visit to the Woodland Park Zoo

The Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle is chock full of adventures. The animals alone are worth a visit. You'll see brown bears, giraffes, hippos, and more.
