10 Washington Coffee Roasters Serving Freshly Roasted Beans And Rich Espresso In Cozy Shops

One Washington roaster pays coffee farmers more than double Fair Trade rates. Your morning latte comes with a side of good karma, which is a pretty great way to start the day. That company started in 2005 inside an unmarked warehouse, which is about as indie as origin stories get. Now it runs cafes and a full roastery, with national awards to show for it.

‘Wildwood’ Review: A Stop-Motion Game Changer

Wildwood is an extremely mystifying experience. For most of the runtime, Laika Studios kept me in a constant state of questioning. Not in terms of plot or character beats, but in how exactly any of this is possible. As a studio, Laika has always been in a league of its own, creating exceptional visual masterworks in stop-motion animation. However, their 2026 film Wildwood pushes the envelope like we have never seen before.

Toast the Holidays with Northwest Bubbly

This article originally appeared in our sister publication, Northwest Travel & Life. What says “celebration” better than a glass of bubbly? And not just any bubbly, but sparkling wine from one of the Northwest’s best sparkling wine producers. In producing this list, we were admittedly purists — only sparkling wine made using the méthode traditionnelle will do (not to disparage non-traditional methods).

This Oregon Garden Lets You Wander Through Plants From Around the World Without Paying a Dime

Some of the best places in Portland do not have a ticket booth, a gift shop, or a big sign out front. Tucked into a quiet neighborhood near Lake Oswego, there is a historic estate garden that opens its gates to anyone on weekdays and asks for nothing more than respect and an optional donation. Its paths wind past century-old trees, towering redwoods, rhododendrons, and plants both familiar and unusual.

On Pi Day, a few devoted fans show up at 5 a.m. just to secure a spot near the front.
