City Break: Hood Canal Resort

Robin Hood (Canal)

04.29.2009

The Bite:
Long flights robbing all your vacay time? Pricey too - so try stealing away to the nearby Alderbrook Resort at Hood Canal. Rent you-powered canoes, kayaks, and (alas, our fave) paddle boats from the resort's marina to cruise the waters. Or gather and shuck your own oysters (or get some at the restaurant), and then head to the spa for a refreshing paraben-free Priori CoffeeBerry Skin Revitalizing Facial. Wash up in your posh room (complete with soaking tub) - cleaned with Green Seal-certified products. How merry.
Wanna Try: 
Alderbrook Resort & Spa, 7101 E. State Route 106, Union, WA (360-898-2200). Rooms, $129 and up; Priori CoffeeBerry Skin Revitalizing Facial, $130/60 minutes.

Cocktail Fact

In 2007, England's University of Nottingham began offering a master's degree in Robin Hood Studies.

Small Changes Add Up

If 10,000 Seattle Biters opt to explore Hood Canal in a kayak instead of a motorboat, we'll save enough fuel in an hour to fill 1,239 kiddie pools.
