I will pick you up in downtown Seattle and drive eastward for about 30 minutes until we arrive at the trailhead. We will hike in old growth forest along Snoqualmie River to Twin Falls and the Upper Falls (1.3 miles), which is a beautiful cascade of waterfalls. After the hike we will drive through North Bend, where the diner from the popular tv show "Twin Peaks" is located and through the historic logging town. Snoqualmie.

Multnomah Falls and other waterfalls and vistas of the Columbia Gorge are astonishing icons of geology, the sort that have inspired mythology and lore of warriors, gods and passions. We will drive out in our vans to meet the tallest waterfall in the state, and then drive to a few of the shorter but even more stunning ones, too; falls which could only be the daughters and sons of legend. In this half-day experience, we will explore wonders with some short hikes (totaling less than 2.5 miles/4 km) and visits to overlooks and vistas that will have you gasping in awe. While Multnomah Falls and its iconic Benson Bridge are together the most-visited tourist attraction in the Portland area, they are only a part of our experience. We will meet at our shop in inner SE Portland, where we'll ride in our comfortable Sprinter and Transit vans to the nearby gorge. Depending on weather conditions, we will visit a few small hidden waterfalls and spectacular plunge-style falls whose columnar basalt has us learning words for "amazing" in other languages. We'll also tell you stories, geology, botany and oft-repeated tales of pioneers and road-builders, but also the old stories we've learned, of gods and wild spirits and about the oldest North American civilization, forever altered by “manifest destiny." Please note we book directly as well as through AirBNB, and your group may be up to 10.

After this, you'll turn your fragrance into a 10mL oil-based roll-on personal fragrance. You’ll take home your very own scent creation compounded and mixed into a 10mL roll-on bottle of perfume.

Please bring three pint sized mason jars with lids and rings. I can describe them in more detail after you book. I provide all other supplies.

Other things to note: The tour takes place rain or shine. Please email if you have dietary restrictions. Not all of our routes stop at the same places in Pike Place! We do book private tours for 9-16 people. Please direct message us to learn more. Gratuity is not included in the price. Our team also conducts a, more off the beaten path, tour on Fridays and Saturdays of South Lake Union. There are small bites over many stops and limited places to sit down. This experience requires a medium physical fitness level due to hills, stairs and uneven terrain. We do cover some distance and the market is crowded during the Summer. If you have to drive and park please leave a lot of extra time in the high season. The lots do fill up. Lastly, due to our tight schedule and wanting to show you as much of the market during a short time, we don't have time to shop during the tour. We encourage you to come back after the tour with your discount card to make purchases.

Visitors to the Sanctuary meet our beloved residents. We'll share their individual stories, how they came to The Muddy Pug, their lives before the Sanctuary and what their daily lives are like now. Swoosh and Cupid, our cows, love scratches, carrots and bananas. Finn and Nick, our baby goats, love blackberry leaves and running playfully around the farm. Impera and Sunshine, our buns, love gentle pets and leaf lettuce. Our goats love neck scratches and being brushed, and bananas! You'll have the opportunity to meet them all as we walk around our beautiful 5 acre farm conveniently located just 45 minutes from Seattle in rural southeast King County. The Muddy Pug is home to cows, goats, sheep, bunnies, ducks, barn cats, and of course, PUGS! You'll have a chance to meet most of our residents, feed them their favorite treats and snuggle them into their bedtime. Every dollar of our tour tickets goes to our work - savings lives, giving sanctuary and building community. Our residents come to us so often from abuse, abandonment and neglect. You support and visits help to provide the best hay and feed, safe warm structures, and vet care. Please Note! Sometimes The Muddy Pug can be...muddy, even in the summer. Please dress in layers with clothes and shoes you don't mind getting dirty. Boots or waterproof shoes are ideal. This is a great outing for families, groups and teams!

If you've recently started golf, you may be longing to practice what you learned at the range on a golf course. Making the transition to the course can be intimidating, especially without family or friends whom you can go with. If Topgolf or the driving range has you intrigued, this experience will elevate you to a new level! During this experience, I will take you out to a golf course in Seattle and teach you field etiquette to make you feel confident going out for 9 or 18 holes. We will kick off the experience by meeting at a public golf course, walk through the entire experience together--from checking in at the desk, practicing on the putting green, setting up at the tee box, and playing a round of 9 holes together. Participants will leave with knowledge of basic golf etiquette and increased confidence to enjoy the game. This experience does NOT focus on technique or form. We will maintain at least 6 feet of distance while on the course. Estimated time required for experience: 9 holes: 2.5-3 hours We will walk the Par 3 Pitch n Putt course. Green fees will be paid by participants directly to the golf course. Equipment can also be rented at the clubhouse. I also have spare clubs which can be rented for $20/set.

We will venture off visiting 3 select vineyards in our world famous Willamette Valley. Experience the rolling hills surrounded by vineyards, stunning architecture, a lunch stop in between. This is ideal for new or seasoned wine lovers to taste some of the best pinot noir, chardonnay, and other varietals guided by a local expert that knows the valley and worked with some of the best winemakers in the region.

Observe, feed and interact with the little lamb, turkeys and small kittens on the farm. Hear their unique gobble and try not to laugh your face off! Feed the chickens and see the unique Turkens (chicken that look like turkeys with bald necks). Along the way pet and play with the 4 week kittens and momma cats. Observe our garden, berries and fruit trees. Observe large, tall and swaying trees in the wind. Gaze upon many stunning hummingbirds that are constantly flying to their feeders right in front of you! Try our organic hand picked, home cooked jams, jellies and fruit sauces. Excite your senses by trying some homemade juices. Kids are welcome to play on the playground and swings.

Join me for a one-of-a-kind nature infused, fine art embodiment photoshoot! Not very comfortable in front of the camera? Thats my specialty! I employ mindfulness techniques throughout the entire experience to offer a sense of ease and hold an empowering energy. The session begins at the trailhead where we greet each other and set a personal intention for the experience. A meditative nature walk brings us to a peaceful spot where we sit for a moment of reflection followed by a brief breathwork session to ignite the creative spirit. Utilizing both activating and calming/centering practices the breathwork session sets the stage for the following creative expression. Now that we are in the present moment and feeling calm, yet invigorated, the photoshoot set up begins. Playing off the natural light, found elements and fabrics we adorn the scene to meet the collective asthetic. I then direct a mindful photoshoot, centered on empowerment, freedom, strength and grace among natures gifts. Wrapping up the exhilarating, creative session with a moment of reflection as we hike out together. Following the experience I provide a publishable digital photo-gallery to share, display and remind you of the creation and expression of the experience. Leaving you with fine art works that highlight YOU and your unique spirit with a sense of inner balance and heightened creativity.
