WINE PAIRINGS<br />

With a healthy wine selection, The Stowaway is a<br />

place you can melt into for an afternoon, sipping wine<br />

Hood to Coast Washington<br />

written by Julie Lee<br />

THE INAUGURAL Regence BlueShield Hood to Coast Washington<br />

presented by Nike beamed a national spotlight on the idyllic coastal<br />

town of Seabrook, located in Pacific Beach. Here, visitors can connect<br />

to nature, breathe ocean air and dine in a variety of great restaurants,<br />

all within a five-minute sprint on eco-friendly boardwalks and paths<br />

comprised of reclaimed crushed oyster shells. Many coastal towns<br />

claim that magical feel, but Seabrook truly has something special,<br />

with an uncluttered, unspoiled mile stretch of beach, spectacular<br />

oceanfront and village-centered cottages and unprecedented charm.<br />

About 4,000 runners, walkers, fans and friends descending into town<br />

on a sunny Saturday in early summer were warmly welcomed by<br />

town merchants and restaurateurs, ready to serve. The event raised<br />

more than $20,000 for the Junior Achievement of Washington as<br />

well as the Seabrook Community Foundation and hunger relief in<br />

Grays Harbor.<br />

PIZZA<br />

Frontager’s Pizza Co. answers the unwritten rule that<br />

every beach town should have a great pizza joint.<br />

its best, with terrific microbrews to pair it with.<br />
