Seattle is known for its delicious brews, but Espresso Vivace Roasteria offers something much different than the Starbucks and Seattle´s Best chains found throughout the city. Opened in 1988 and inspired by Northern Italian espresso, Espresso Vivace creates their drinks with the motto "una bella tazza di caffe"–a beautiful cup of coffee.
Put yourself to the test at the Stone Gardens Seattle rock climbing gym. Choose different climbing options for the 16,000 feet of recreational climbing surface. Head indoors for the 65-foot lead roof and the option to boulder (climb without a rope) should you wish to challenge yourself. Beginners are also welcome, and may enjoy the classes and the simple 40-foot outdoor wall.
