Off the Grid in Seattle: Visit an Off-leash Dog Park

Are you the off the beaten path kind of traveler? Would you rather skip the tour buses and see the sights on your own terms? Seattle offers a treasure chest full of gems from Pike Place Market, Washington State Ferries, and the Space Needle to breathtaking views and more that are all on the tourist’s radar.

However, to fulfill your inner yearning for something different, I have a suggestion for you: a side trip to an off leash dog park.

Easy-Going Antibes

Antibes is bathed in the intense, luminous quality of light which attracted painters to the Riviera whose names read like an artistic roll call in Who’s Who: Picasso, Matisse, Renoir, Signac, and Chagall established themselves in the region, while Claude Monet was a frequent visitor. The area attracted many writers, too, including Graham Greene, who spent the last years of his life in Antibes, and F. Scott Fitzgerald, who set Tender Is The Night here.
