Things to do around Washington: Anna’s Honey
It doesn’t get any better than pure, all-natural honey. Anna’s Honey is made by Pacific Northwest bees that visit blossoms in remote regions and bring back nectar to create a rich, smooth honey. Flavors include blackberry, clover, wildflower and raspberry, available in traditional mason jars or in a gift jar featuring a sketch of the floral variety from which its honey was derived.

Orna’s Pottery opened at Pike Place Market in 2005, specializing in Seattle-themed works and Pacific Northwest-inspired pieces. From mugs to bowls to vases, each piece is as unique as the artist and handmade in a backyard pottery studio. Our favorite is the Seattle-themed mug, highlighting the urban culture and scenery. This is a fan favorite for visitors and locals alike.

This artist has mixed media Americana pretty much perfected. Old-time photos are given a modern twist by incorporating unique objects with newspaper, spray-painted in resin and beautifully framed. It’s a pretty cool way to update your living space and make a statement at the same time.
