The Daily Outside Tuesday: Pilates at the Park, Walk at Titlow Park
Tuesday’s Daily Outside invites Pierce County to discover muscles that have been hiding since the Obama administration, wander Titlow’s waterfront in search of seals and the occasional existentially significant whale, join Puyallup’s cheerful uprising against the tyranny of sitting down and finally meet a workforce of ravenous worms that eats garbage, manufactures garden gold and has somehow mastered the ancient art of improving the planet without demanding a single round of applause. Four adventures, several questionable life choices and one rather convincing argument that fresh air, friendship and a little productive decomposition might be exactly what this October Tuesday needs.

The Daily Outside Monday: Walks & Runs
Monday’s Daily Outside invites Tacoma to commit several acts of recreational insubordination: disappear into Point Defiance’s ancient forest, investigate a botanical spectacle whose performers have the day off, make friends with chickadees, cross a bridge built above the ghosts of industrial ambition and illuminate Proctor with an evening procession of neighborhood runners and walkers, all while discovering that Monday is considerably less offensive when experienced outdoors.

Peaks & Pints Sunday Bizarre Flight
Peaks & Pints’ Bizarre Brewing Sunday Flight summons five peculiar pours: honey-kissed Whistle in the Catacombs, biscuit-and-toffee Cemetery Polka, devilish Hello Satan, fresh Strata-loaded Garlands and Citra-fueled Fake Train.

The Daily Outside Sunday: Zoo Boo, Fall Mindfulness Walk, and the Octopus Who Refuses to Get Out of Bed
Sunday’s Daily Outside sends Tacoma running along the waterfront, confronting costumed impostors at the zoo, seeking shelter beneath an explosion of autumn flowers, borrowing a little wisdom from ancient trees and watching an octopus decide whether dinner is worth abandoning its bedroom.
