The world treats us to a beautiful array of sensory delights, and they're especially heightened in the summertime.
The warm air stirs with the gentle hum of bees, fluttering dance of butterflies and the welcome scent of budding flowers. With the sun radiating off your back, it's hard not to feel overcome with joy every time you step outside.
As a lifelong resident of the Inland Northwest, I've seen over and over how this place comes alive in the summer. We survived the dull grayness of winter and the rainy days of spring. There's no better time to capitalize on everything our region has to offer. Lucky for you, we've got just the thing.
Inside our annual Summer Guide, you'll find countless ways to make this summer sensational. From live music, plenty of local art, bodies of water to enjoy, ways to stay active even in the summer heat — and ways to avoid it if you so choose — this year's Summer Guide has everything right at your fingertips.
No matter how you choose to spend your summer, remember how the warm air, sunshine and long days made you feel and carry that with you until next year.
