Secret Seattle
This city offers a lot more than just restaurants
By Lisa Buckner
Along the road leading to the water at Golden Gardens, attentive eyes can spot out an ill-maintained trail. Hike along this trail for about half a mile and one will come to a clearing with a yellow-roped swing hanging from the branch of one of the numerous trees. This spot is one of the few truly secretive places mentioned on Facebook’s “Secret Seattle” group page, a group “for Seattleites to share secrets of the Emerald City,” originally inspired by the groups “Secret London” and “Secret New York.”

Burton in Underland
Alice in Wonderland didn’t impress
By Kelley Hargus

I couldn’t help but wonder just where the wonder had gone.
