Ahead of the holiday season, all I want is a chance to catch my breath. It may sound contradictory, but a winding labyrinth can be a nice way to, well, unwind.
I love the labyrinth at Saint Mark’s Episcopal Cathedral. This Capitol Hill cathedral has a permanent, bricked path in the courtyard. There’s also a temporary labyrinth placed inside the sanctuary during select holidays like New Year’s Eve. The addition of the temporary installation is a tradition that spans two decades.

I have a toddler, and it’s been ages since my partner and I went out for a nice dinner. (You know — a no-crayons, no-milk kind of affair.)
We have a night out on the books, but the pressure is on. I usually consult the Infatuation’s list of new restaurants for inspiration (OG SEAtoday readers will recognize Gabe Guarante’s name). But I’m always keen to hear from our readers.
