Beacon Hill

Explore

There’s always something to do at Jefferson Park, whether you want to play a round of golf, cool off at a spraypark, join in on a game of lawn bowling, or just gaze at the Olympic Mountains. Next door, check out the Beacon Food Forest, a unique grassroots project where volunteers have built a local ecosystem that provides fresh produce, a pollinator habitat, climate-change mitigation, and more. Visit anytime from dawn to dusk, or look for a site tour or event to learn more. Photographers love Dr. Jose Rizal Park, where there are picturesque views of the downtown skyline.

Eat and Drink

Nothing says summer—or any season, really—like the soft serve from Milk Drunk. It’s the younger sister of James Beard Award–nominated Homer, a wood-fired Mediterranean restaurant with family-style meals. Enjoy a combo of Thai and Hawaiian influences at Buddha Bruddah, with dishes like huli huli chicken and phad see ew. Grab a sweet treat of Filipino bread—there are nine flavors to choose from—at Delite Bakery.

Shop

Pick up supplies for your pets, your garden, and yourself at Urban Feed & Garden. If you’re lucky, you just might see shop cat Parsley roaming around. For Mexican grocery staples, drop by La Esperanza Mercado y Carnicería or Abarrotes El Oaxaqueño, where you’ll be hard-pressed to leave without an elote.
