Sculpture takes flight in this new nine-acre site on the Puget Sound. A 2,200 foot long path zigs and zags visitors past works such as the ocular-inspired Eye Benches I, II, & III by Louise Bourgeois and the elegantly curving metal Eagle by Alexander Calder. Admission is free and the sculptures are not the only art on display ? the naturally arty Olympic Mountains are part of the big picture. Visit the website for info about individual pieces.

Rick Yoder, a former oyster shucker who shucked his way to the top, opened this Asian restaurant and satay bar in 1989 and he's been skewering and currying customers ever since. Young mountain lamb, street hawker beef and lemongrass chicken are available grilled and skewered, and a red squid curry and a vegetarian curry with eggplant, tofu, sweet potato and peanuts will heat up the mouth. Open for lunch and dinner.

Serving breakfast lunch and dinner, chef Matthew Dillon says there are three keys to his success -- local, fresh ingredients, a light touch and vinegar (he uses 17 different varieties). The dishes are Mediterranean-influenced and include semolina gnocchi, a white asparagus salad, and guinea fowl breast and confit. It's small, with just 20 seats including a communal table.
