Sightseeing
Take a ferry. Any ferry. Go on a sunny day--that's the best--over to Winslow (Bainbridge Island) just to get an ice cream cone or to walk down the trail to the park along the south side of the island.

Safeway
2201 E Madison StAmazing: wine selection, cheese selection, meat selection, fresh breads brought in daily by local artisanal breadmakers, crackers, fair trade chocolate. They also make their own sausage, their own garlic mashed potatoes made daily, premade (you take it and bake it) meatloaf and other meats, and a variety of sandwiches and salads (the Asian noodle salad is killer). The produce is always a little Meh. You've been advised. The owner and his nephew are long-time family grocers and they do it WELL. You can get everything you need for a picnic right here.
