WELCOME ABOARD!We’re pleased you’ve chosen Amtrak

Cascades for your trip today. Thanks for your patronage and please share your memories with others who might want to experience the Pacific Northwest via a scenic, eco-friendly, cost-effective and stress-free mode of transportation.

While we’re proud of our current Amtrak Cascades service, over the last three years we’ve been hard at work to offer you even better service soon. Twenty different projects throughout the Washington rail corridor will result

in significant improvements for Amtrak Cascades passengers when completed in 2017. The result will be shorter travel times, more frequent trips between Se-attle and Portland, and more reliable on-time performance.

Ten of the projects are already fin-ished. They span from Vancouver, at the southern-most point of Washington, to Blaine, at the northern-most point. More information on all the projects can be found on page 73, or visit our website at wsdot.wa.gov/rail.

Through the investment in these proj-ects, as well as our continued focus on passenger satisfaction, we are advancing our goal to make the Amtrak Cascades service even more popular with residents and visitors. Whether you use our service on a regular basis or are taking your first trip aboard our trains, we hope you have a memorable experience. We invite you to come celebrate with us in 2017, when we launch our expanded service and move closer to our vision for true high-speed rail service in the Pacific Northwest.

AT HOPWORKS URBAN BREWERY, there are plenty of reasons to feel good about drinking a pint. The brewpub is built with sustainable mate-rials, and the beer is made from 100 percent or-ganic ingredients. In addition, Hopworks recently became a Certified B Corp, an achievement that affirms the brewery’s sustainability practices.

Hopworks brewmaster and founder Christian Ettinger said all those factors make the beer taste better. “The attitude of the whole experience is what you’re tasting,” he said.

Eight years ago, Ettinger launched the eco-friendly brewery in Southeast Portland, and in 2011, Hop-works opened the BikeBar pub in North Portland. Since then, the brewery has become carbon neutral by using green power and purchasing offsets. When it received B Corp certification in 2015, the proof was in the pudding that its practices meet rigorous standards of social and environmental performance, accountability and transparency.

Hopworks recently became the world’s first Salm-on-Safe certified brewery site, which means it meets high standards for protecting watersheds. As part of its push to reduce water use, the brewery recently in-stalled a system that can reuse water for tank cleaning up to five times, along with a centrifuge that filters beer using significantly less water. Today Hopworks uses 3.4 barrels of water for every barrel of beer it produces, compared to the industry average of seven barrels of water for every barrel of beer.

In 2013, the USDA began requiring that beers labeled “organic” include only organic hops. Hop-works rose to the challenge. Further, nearly all of the organic grains used in Hopworks beers are grown less than 300 miles away in the Klamath Falls area.

The brewery has an ambitious goal of sending zero waste to the landfill. Right now, Hopworks diverts nearly all of its waste from the landfill, a majority of which is spent grains that goes to a local dairy farm.

Ettinger believes that running a sustainable business means looking at what’s possible. “There’s an opportunity every day to make incre-mental changes for the better,” he said.

PURVEYOR TO THOSE

SEEKING THE FINER THINGS

IN LIFE.


Of all the data you compiled in the UN report, what surprised you most? What struck me most was how important trust is in the work-place. In one study, employees were asked to rate where they place trust on a scale of one to ten, and it rated one point higher than their home life. The importance of trusting those in authority and in our neighbor-hoods also has a huge impact on how we reach out and engage in our communities.

Does money really bring true happiness? Yes, economic freedom is cru-cial. Money is one of six happi-ness indicators. Yet, it is hard to determine at what income level you reach the tipping point. More powerful than money, though, is the freedom to make choices and take charge of our lives—positive social interac-tions and good quality personal and mental health.

What countries appear to have the happiest citizens?The happiest residents live in Denmark, Norway, Switzer-land, Sweden and the Neth-erlands. We also discovered that people in small towns are significantly happier overall. That’s because they take time to create genuine human connec-tions—neighbors smile at each other on the street, they chat and they help each other.

How can we find true happiness?Learn to invest more time in the people around you. We know that compassion, altruism and a good marriage boost happiness levels. In one study, we found huge health benefits when cancer survivors helped support others in their fight against cancer.

The Science of Happiness

A SIT DOWN Q ABY MICHELLE HOPKINS

AN OCEANFRONT HOME. An expensive car. First class airline tickets. Are those the luxuries that lead to Nirvana?

University of BC Professor John F. Helliwell has spent decades trying to solve the mystery behind happiness. The leading happiness researcher and internationally renowned economist first began exploring the topic as a visiting professor at Harvard in the 1990s. In 2010, the United Nations called upon him to take part in the first World Happiness Report, released in March of 2012.

IF YOU DINE AT ANY one of Renee Erick-son’s runaway hit restaurants in Seattle, the influence of the chef ’s Pacific Northwest roots is apparent.

“My favorite childhood memories are almost all on the beach at Spee-Bi-Dah,” Erickson shared. “We spent our summers crabbing and fishing there and were able to enjoy the beauty and simplicity of cabin life in the Puget Sound.”

At the age of 25, she bought Boat Street Café, which she ran from 1998 to 2015. Now, the James Beard-nominated chef has two restau-rants (The Walrus and the Carpenter and The Whale Wins), an aperitivo bar (Barnacle Bar), a 1960 Divco dairy van that doubles as a catering truck (Narwhal) and a pickle business, Boat Street Pickles.

The latest addition, The Whale Wins, is bustling and convivial with an emphasis on small plates and sharing. Bon Appétit called the restaurant one of the ten most important new restaurants in the country. Here, almost everything is cooked in an applewood-burning oven—from a roasted half-chicken to season-al vegetables. Erickson describes The Whale Wins’ cuisine as worldly and simple.

“It’s French in spirit and execution, but like much contemporary American cooking, bor-rows freely from many cultures,” she said. Still, the menu weaves local foodstuffs throughout, including Hama Hama clams, Painted Hills beef, and yes, housemade pickles.

Like Erickson’s other spots, seafood reigns su-preme. “Every week it is different, but nothing is quite as lovely as a well-cooked piece of fish that is simply prepared,” said Erickson. As we settle into winter, the chef looks to more rustic dishes. “From wild mushrooms to oysters, the cooler months make me excited to really dig into the classics.” Who could disagree?

“DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? I’m mov-ing a lot when I’m talking to you, but you can’t see me,” Suzanne Haag said via phone. “In my line of work, speaking isn’t, like, a thing.”

Her line of work is professional ballet, so her most trusted form of expression is movement. Elegant movement, at that. Haag, has been with the Eugene Ballet Company since 2003, performing as the title role in multiple productions, touring the Northwest and teaching at the Eugene Ballet Academy.

“When I was little, I was like, ‘Oh, I’ll be a ballerina, of course,’” Haag said. Growing up in Connecticut, her inter-est in ballet piqued when she went to see The Nutcracker at age 2. “After that, of course, the road was definitely not so straight and easy.”

She trained at the School of the Hart-ford City Ballet before attending Butler University and studying arts administra-tion, just in case the ballerina thing didn’t work out. But then it did.

Haag’s dancing career started in Ken-tucky right after graduation and took a detour in Las Vegas before ending up in Eugene. Thirteen years later, she is work-ing on her first choreographed piece to be performed by the Eugene Ballet Compa-ny in April. It is in describing her chore-ography that Haag said she gets verbally tripped up. Though as a part-time teacher for the past nine years, her communication skills are perfectly suited for the layperson.

Three years ago, Haag co-created the interactive performance group, #insta-ballet, during which the audience cre-ates the choreography. The group was born from a desire to have ballet per-formances in the summer, during the company’s off-season. Staged in various venues during Eugene’s First Friday Art Walk, #instaballet integrated dancers and audience.

“It’s been really interesting for me as a choreographer, and a dancer, to see what the audience thinks and what they would prefer to see,” Haag said. The group quickly became a success and has since expanded into classrooms.

At 35, Haag is the oldest dancer in the Eugene Ballet Company. “If you make it to forty, you’re really, really lucky,” she said.

Speaking Through Movement

On Stage

AS MUSIC HISTORY has shown, bring-ing together different cultural influences can have revolutionary results. The Beatles brought in Ravi Shankar’s Indian classical music sensibilities, making the sitar a house-hold sound in the West. Aerosmith released their iconic song “Walk This Way” with Run DMC. Combining different genres turns music as we know it on its head. The Van-couver, BC-based ensemble Delhi 2 Dublin is successfully reinventing music fusion. Much like a good recipe, they combine many ingredients, creating a balance that lets each influence’s flavor shine. The band’s Indian Bhangra, Celtic, dub and electronic sounds result in something altogether for-eign, yet intriguing to the ear. The current iteration of the Canadian group is made up of touring members Serena Eades on violin and James Hussain on guitar, and found-ing members Sanjay Seran (vocals), Tarun

Nayar (tabla and electronics), and Ravi Bin-ning (dhol and dholak). The band’s self-titled debut in 2008 hit number three in Canadian world music charts. With its most recent al-

bum, We’re All Desi, this troupe continues to explore the fringes of the musical landscape and presents something we can all gravitate toward—good, high-energy music.

Album Review

Keeping with its signature sound of Bhangra and Celtic music, the band’s album We’re All Desi adds a hyp-notic element of hard-hitting EDM (electronic dance music) into the mix. While each of the eleven tracks has a pristine and produced sheen, there’s a raw, earnest nature in the vocal delivery that helps the instrumenta-tion soar.

You can find out in person this March as Portland plays host to the biannual Super Bowl of international indoor track and field. It’s the first time in nearly three decades that the meet is being held on U.S. soil. The venue is just a short train ride north of Track Town USA, home of Hayward Field and the Oregon Ducks’ historic track and field program. Ducks travel in flocks and that will probably be the case at the 2016 World Indoors as Eaton, his wife, Brianne Theisen-Eaton, Galen Rupp (all U of O alumni) and newcomer Jenna Prandini (a current Duck) are favorites to qualify and compete against the world for gold in Portland.

The World Sevens Series consists of ten tournaments in ten countries, with the title awarded at the end of the season to the team accumulates the most points based on tournament placing. All Blacks rugby is followed like a religion in New Zealand and the Kiwis owned the Series in its early years, winning the first six titles.

AHH, THE REMOTE SURF mecca of Tofino! Though it sounds as if it could be a tropical island in a Mediterranean ar-chipelago, Tofino is situated at the south end of Clayoquot Sound on the western coast of Vancouver Island. Nevertheless, this small town (population 1,876) has more than twenty miles of beach break, and a strong, consistent swell during winter months making it a prime Pacific Northwest surf destination. If it weren’t for the weather, Tofino beaches would feel much like Hawaii—rugged, exotic and surrounded by wilderness. Unlike Hawaii, water temperatures stay a con-stant 50°F, so a 4/3 wetsuit is de rigueur.

Though it lacks in tropical tempera-tures, Tofino’s warmth comes from its communal vibe, especially for women. While many surfing communities are male dominant, Tofino is extraordinary in that you’ll find nearly as many wom-en in the water as men. There’s also an annual all-women Queen of the Peak surf competition that celebrates West Coast female talent.

For beginners, “Tofino is one of the best places to learn how to surf,” said Krissy Montgomery, owner of Surf Sister. Huge tides create mellow waves; there’s plenty of room for all surfers to learn or advance their skills in the postcard-perfect surroundings.

Locals go to Florencia Bay (aka Wreck Beach or “Flo” for short), located at the south end of Pacific Rim National Park Reserve. Hugged by old-growth forests, the picturesque beach is a twenty-five-minute drive south of Tofino, but uncrowded waves make it well worth the trek.

In 2010, Outside Maga-zine declared Chester-man Beach “one of the best beginner breaks in North America.” It’s Can-ada’s most popular beach for learning how to surf.

ALONG THE EASTERN watershed of Washington’s North Cascades, just south of the Canadian border, small hiccups of towns pop along the Methow River. There is (north to south) Mazama, Winthrop and Twisp. In winter, this is the setting of the Nordic skiing mecca of the Pacific Northwest.

With more than 120 miles of trails perfectly groomed for Nordic skiing, the Methow Valley feels like a local version of the Austrian Tirol region, where towns are connected by flawlessly groomed ski trails.

There are many ways to do the Methow Valley right. One is to book a hut or

huts through the Rendez-vous Huts system (rendez-voushuts.com), about ten miles north of Winthrop. During peak season, the five huts cost around $200 per night and sleep eight to ten people. Ski in with packs on your back or get snowmobile

transport for your gear. We had an agenda that

included junior ski races and opted for the more acces-sible Sun Mountain Lodge, a classic ski lodge on the edge of rustic and chic, and with views of the Methow Valley and the Okano-

gan-Wenatchee National Forest. Walk out the door and onto sixty kilometers of groomed trails right from the lodge. You can rent skis and snowshoes at the lodge, too. Rooms run $200 to $300 per night during the height of ski season. About six miles up Patterson Lake Road and away from Winthrop, Sun Mountain Lodge has a range of dining options, from fine dining with table cloths and wine to a casual grill with a split pine bar and craft beer taps.

The first day, we hit the Methow Valley Nordic Festival, an event that brings in Nordic

Outdoorsskiers of all levels, but mostly at the higher levels. There are citizen

races for the people more serious about competition aversion, like me. Sight-ski-ing, I call it. If that sounds too aggressive, bring a cam-era and stop to use it often.

The next day, we jumped on the trails surrounding Sun Mountain Lodge. These hills are alive with the sound of music. We were gone for hours and lost in beauty be-fore heading back to the lodge for a hot tub, a change of clothes and drinks by the fire.

We had dinner in the lodge bar and grill, then read books under thick down blankets in our room. “Ner-dic” skiers at rest.

The next day, we drove back into picture-perfect Winthrop and plundered the literary riches of Trail’s End Bookstore, avoiding any titles with “The So and So’s Son” or “The So and So’s Daugh-ter.” A few doors down was a leavened heaven of pastries—Rocking Horse Bakery.

Winthrop is a former gold mining town along the Methow River of no more than 2,000 people and storefronts that have been built or re-stored to turn-of-the-century Western-style. The town was named for Theodore Win-throp, an 1848 Yale University graduate who came west to enjoy the open air before fight-ing in and dying for the Union Army in the American Civil War. The officer reportedly got up on a stump and bravely offered, “One more charge boys, and the day is ours.” Just then, he took a musket ball to the heart.

Our ski outing on this day was a point-to-point

that began in Winthrop and winded thirty kilometers north to Mazama. While my wife and kids made that trek, I shuttled the car to Maza-ma. “Thirty more kilometers, ladies, and this trail is yours!” I thought as I drove away. In the lee of the towering Goat Wall in Mazama, I clipped into my skis and departed on a three-hour ski through for-ested woodlands, past farms and along the valley floor as sunlight increasingly burned off the mist of morning fog.

All trails lead to the Maza-ma Store, which is billed as “a little bit of everything good.” This made for a good ren-dezvous point for lunch. The bustling general store has local gourmet cheese, wine, soups, sandwiches, a deli counter and a small eating area. We grabbed a bottle of locally made Lost River cabernet sau-vignon for later that night.

Back in Winthrop, while Sarah and the girls alienated me with light, indiscrimi-nant shopping (as they often do), I took a detour to the brewery (as I often do). The Old Schoolhouse Brewery

should play some prominent role in any trip to this area. Backing up to the crystal clear Methow River, Old Schoolhouse makes really good beer from this local water. I tried on the nation-al award-winning imperial stout, which fit me well.

That night, we lit out for Twisp, about nine miles south, a small town of 900 people, where an Italian restaurant, Tappi, is its cultural center. Discovering Tappi, a tiny restaurant built around an open kitchen and wood-fired oven, is like a collector stumbling upon a signed rare book at a garage sale—unexpected and thrill-ing. It brings together pizza and pasta traditions of the owner’s heritage in northern and southern Italy.

Though we kicked and glided and strode for three days straight, we managed to skim only the surface of the vast trail network of the Methow Valley. As we departed for Oregon, I won-dered what the winter trails would look like for running in summer.

WHEN MY HUSBAND and I decided to spend a week-end exploring Tacoma’s mu-seums with our 2-year-old twins, we were apprehensive about finding enough to keep everyone busy.

Tacoma may have a rep-utation as playing second fiddle to Seattle, but it is first rate when it comes to family entertainment. Our museum experience seemed to start as soon as we reached the Hotel Murano. Each floor features glass sculptures from a different artist. It was a good preface for a visit to the Museum of Glass the following morning. The highlight for me was watch-ing artists shape glass in the hot shop. Dad and the kids enjoyed the Dale Chihuly sculptures.

While the girls begged for

pizza for lunch, my husband was itching for televised football, so we walked to Harmon Brewing Company. We weren’t brave enough to try the PB&B burger (a beef patty topped with peanut butter and bacon jam). Nonetheless, the burgers, pies and beer we did con-sume were delicious.

My husband took nap duty so I could check out the Tacoma Art Museum. The current special exhibit is Art AIDS America, which explores the role art played in raising awareness and spurring action during the AIDS crisis in the 1980s. It was an educational, deeply moving look into our coun-

Dale Chihuly, one of the wor-ld’s most famous glass artists, was born in Tacoma in 1941. He

studied art at the University of Washington. In 1971, he

co-founded the Pilchuck Glass School in Stanwood, a small

town north of Seattle.

Among the sweet treats that got their start in Tacoma: Baskin-Robbins ice cream,

Milky Way bars and Almond Roca (the latter’s production

facility is still here).

A bridge between Pacific Ave-nue and the Museum of Glass

has large display cases with dozens of Chihuly sculptures.

try’s not-so-distant past. Fully rested, the kids dove

headlong into the activities at the LeMay Car Museum. Besides admiring dozens of vehicles built over the past 100 years, they loved build-ing and racing pinewood cars and climbing behind the wheel of a 1920s Dodge in the Family Zone. Older kids would enjoy driving one of the racing simulators.

My sister came down from Seattle to spend the after-noon with us, and babysat for us so my husband and I could have dinner out. We’d heard good things

about Over the Moon Café in the historic St. Helens area. With an emphasis on Italian and French cuisine, a highlight was the wild Pacific Coho salmon with warm ba-con jam and duck breast in a port reduction. The wine list focused on Washington and Italian bottles, with a measure of Oregon and California, too. On the way back, we made a decadent detour to Hello, Cupcake for French toast and salted caramel cupcakes.

Our plan was to spend Sunday morning at the Point Defiance Zoo and Aquari-um. On the way there, we

found Shakabrah Java on 6th Avenue, one of Tacoma’s best breakfast spots. This bakery and café is famous for its outsized and delicious omelets and pancakes. The coffee was good, too.

At the zoo, we stayed in-doors to ogle the jellyfish and touch sharks and stingrays in the aquarium. In the sum-mer, there are more options outdoors, playing in the Kids’ Zone or going to the park for a picnic by the water.

While we headed back to the train station on a wet November day, we plotted a warm-weather return.

IN SUMMER MONTHS, ferry queues stretch enor-mously long with is-land-bound cars. Excited, sunglass-wielding folks clam-or as they snap ferry deck selfies, soaking up the Pacific Northwest summer. In win-ter, however, these crowds dwindle, and only those in the know cross over to the is-

Envision curling up in a soft chair—wool blanket on lap, steaming latte (or Irish coffee) in hand—gazing out at nature’s tempestuous tantrums from the comfort

Although the fifty-mile-long island can be expe-rienced sans car, having a vehicle proves much easier. Consider making

the charming Langley your storm-watching headquar-ters, traveling to the island via a twenty-minute ferry that shuttles to Clinton from Mukilteo on the mainland. Note: The Everett Amtrak station is a fifteen-minute drive from the Mukilteo ferry dock. Once on Whid-bey, a free weekday bus runs between the Clinton ferry and Langley.

On terra firma in Whid-bey, travel about eight miles from Clinton to the Inn at Langley, a decadent refuge where rooms come with a private, waterfront deck and a fireplace. “It’s great sitting in the window seats with a drink and a fire,” said Matt Costello, the Inn’s award-winning chef and general manager. “The view is really expansive, so you can see the great reach of the clouds … makes you feel

small. The waves can really build, and you get these great crashes against the bulkhead below your room.”

In a layout designed to complement the outdoor marvels, you can relax in a soaking tub while simultane-ously watching the fire and the sea, or savor a spa treat-ment in a room from which you can hear the crashing waves outside. “Our motto is that the Inn at Langley is a retreat, not a resort,” said Costello. “It’s where the forest meets the sea. At those inter-sections is where the greatest transformations take place, so the design tries to provide the best vantage point to witness this.”

If you dare to brave the ele-ments, Costello recommends driftwood-dotted Double Bluff Beach in South Whid-bey as “without a doubt, the best storm-watching spot on

the island.” Other fantastic swell-spotting hangouts in Langley include waterfront venues Village Pizzeria, Portico Latin Bistro, the Primo Bistro and the Ott and Murphy winery.

Elsewhere on the island, adventurous people bundle up to brave the weather at Fort Casey (with old bunkers to explore), Fort Ebey and Deception Pass. Consider a detour off the island via the Coupeville ferry, which lands you in the heart of downtown Port Townsend, another welcoming gem anchored by history, the arts, small-town charm and a mellow, modern-day buzz. When storms blow in, grab a warm seat at one of Port Townsend’s waterfront spots—Sirens Pub and Bel-mont Restaurant. Get cozy, order something tasty and enjoy the show.

DROP INDROP INDROP INThe Best Fitness Stops

on the Amtrak Cascades JourneyBY ANDES HRUBY

ILLUSTRATIONS BY BRENDAN LOSCAR

Travel is an invitation to indulge.

Here are some secrets to successful travel fitness that still allow you to embrace every beer and bite—without losing tone or being terrorized by your calorie counter or Fitbit.


6 OF OUR FAVORITE DROP-INS ALONG THE AMTRAK CASCADES ROUTE

EUGENE

Hard Core Yoga2734 Shadow View Dr.541.729.5031yogaeugene.com

Why we like Hard Core Yoga:GI Jane meets the Dali Lama. Balance of physical exercise, stretching and peace-fulness. Beautiful bamboo floors. Not too touchy-feely for those who are just visiting. Hands-on adjustments are on a need basis, while help modifying is de rigueur.

ALBANY

Willamette Valley Power Yoga208 SW 5th Ave.541.971.1046willamettevalleypoweryoga.com

Why we like Willamette Power Yoga: They focus on the big picture by supporting causes. They also have a sense of humor, community classes, Baptiste-style vinyasa flow with warm (but not hot) rooms. They host yoga nights for dudes and for couples, and yoga parties with live DJs. “Our focus here is about community and that includes anyone traveling through town," said co-owner Melinda Cotner. "We are all about walk ins and drop ins and encourage spon-taneity ... When we (the owners) are on the road, we are always looking for great places to drop in for yoga and from the beginning, wanted our studio to be a place of rest and rejuvenation for the traveler in all of us.”

SALEM

Courthouse Fitness300 Glen Creek Rd. NW503.588.2582courthousefit.com

Why we like Courthousefit:Clean, with a pool, courts and an updated cardio room with some free weights that are old school. Rocking “club” style dance class. Talented Zumba instructors with moves like Jagger. “Our main focus is warm welcome,” said marketing manager Michael Miller, “Our goal is to have something for everyone: (from a) quick swim to shooting hoops, a steam or sweaty group training class like Club Dance. Courthouse has it and we love drop-ins!"

PORTLAND

BurnCycle 910 NW 10th Ave.(Pearl District)503.946.8618burncyclepdx.com

Why we like Burncycle:Slick, powerful, proud, shiny and free from self-worship. Limited kitsch and focus on the flywheel. If you didn’t pack your cycling shoes, you can rent some. Awesome energy. You can burn a few calories just talking to studio visionary, Jessi Duley. “BurnCycle em-braces the energy visitors and travelers bring to classes, and we love expending our Burn Army!" said Duley. BurnCycle classes can fill up quickly. Check the schedule a few days in advance to ensure there will be room in the class. New riders need to make an online profile in order to sign up for classes. Don't forget socks and a water bottle.

Yoga Union2305 SE 50th Ave. #100503.235.9642yogaunioncwc.com

Why we like Yoga Union:No snarky snobbery if you are not a yoga bikini babe. Support for all levels. Less woo-woo and a lot of focus on anatomy. Extensive classes for every weird work schedule. Bas-kets of washcloths if you forget a towel. You often see teachers in classes and workshops.

BAR METHOD: 3 LOCATIONS ALONG THE CASCADES ROUTE

Vancouver837 Beatty St. vancouver.barmethod.com

Seattle124 Westlake Ave. N seattle.barmethod.com

Portland904 Northwest Hoyt St. portland.barmethod.com

Why we like the Bar Method:Burning thighs come alive! Posture perfect. Endurance without crazy cardio. Caring and not condescending. Excellent quality instructors. Spotless, modern and well maintained. The Bar Method is a series of isometric workouts that target specific muscle groups. Motto: strengthen, tone and lengthen. "The Bar Method conditions you from head to toe, using your own body resistance and small weights,” said Denise Buchard, a Portland studio owner and in-structor. “The Bar Method appeals to a wide variety of ages and abilities because it is low impact yet intense.” There is no choreogra-phy. Two left feet work just fine.

SCHEDULE ITSchedule your fitness the same way you schedule the best restaurants, zoos, brew-eries and wineries. A great way to under-stand and immerse in a city is to get sweaty with locals. Forget Yelping. The best app to make sure you hightail it to class is Yoga-panda in Seattle. The creator and inventor, Rahmouni Othmane, is a product-manag-ing madman in touch with technology who spends eighteen hours a day on his com-puter. To save his body and serve his soul, he created Yogapanda. It allows the user to sign up for classes and pre-pay directly from the phone.

No membership is needed, drop-ins are encouraged, diversity is assured, and it’s as green as bamboo using only a barcode with no paper trail. “I wanted to do more yoga because it helped my body, but due to my international business demands, I needed classes all over Seattle at strange hours, with a different style or focus,” Othmane said. “At Yogapanda, we help you find and book yoga classes at local yoga studios on a drop-in basis directly from your phone. The bonus is the pricing is set based on how busy each class is.”

The app will also notify you of upcoming events such as: The Wake Morning Yoga and Dance party, which kicks off at 6 a.m. and is followed by raging local DJs. Talk about a new way to get psyched for a meeting.

SIP ITBe it a pint of IPA at Breakside Brewery or a glass at Enso Winery in Portland, embrace your oenophile, but every time you see the bottom of your glass, drink eight ounces of water. To balance metabolic function with consumption, you need to take time in be-tween each empty glass to hydrate. Water is the key to our electrolyte balance, man-aging sodium and calcium to keep mus-cles contracting and reacting. Forget hand sanitizer. Water is the first defense against infection.

EAT ITGoing out on an empty belly leads to se-vere indigestion when stomach acids and enzymes clash, causing reflux. Nibble on a salad in the train’s dining car. If the body’s hunger alarm is ringing when you arrive in Olympia, you might enjoy the delights at La Petite Masion, but order a cup instead of a bowl when you decide to gorge on the lobster porridge.

ATTACK ITIt is important to know what foods are your weakness, and when and how to avoid them. Make a conscious effort to aggressively nav-igate away from the downfalls of popcorn balls or chicken wings. Bugs Bunny had it right—munch on raw vegetables from the farmers’ market in Kelso. By the time you are ready for Tukwila and Westfield South-center Mall, you can eat something substan-tial from Dukes Chowder House without guilt or overdoing it. Duke’s specializes in bringing Alaska to your plate and palette with Smart Catch—a 100 percent support system for environmentally sustainable fish-ing practices. Feel the karma.

CUT ITRevere the toothpick and the mini fork. Little tastings or samples keep you on track because eating slowly, savoring one bite at a time, is better than consuming calories that will stick on your waist. It takes twenty minutes for your stomach to tell your brain it is full. Eating small bites at Pike Place Market in Seattle is a marvelous way to in-dulge in organic moments or farm-to-table chefs. Nine acres of snacking will fill your belly slowly without sabotage.

SLURP ITSipping on soup as an appetizer or be-tween meals is a great way to cut back on consumption. Soups encourage easy pas-sage from the small to large intestine and enhance mineral absorption. You can’t get a bigger bowl of nutrients than the famous tomato bisque at Chanterelle’s in Edmonds.

MOVE ITSitting is the new shadow of fatality. On the road, the body is forced to sit. The train al-lows us the best possible way to travel for a healthy body and back. We can twist, stretch, throw our arms up in the air, practice numer-ous chair yoga poses, and even stand safely. (It is recommended to stand at least twenty minutes out of each hour to offset varicose veins and blood clots.) Chairs recline to keep the discs in our back from compressing. Still take time on your next stop to sweat it out.

START FRESHThe mind has a self-imposed cycle. If it gets high off success, like a Pavlovian dog it repeats that behavior. It can also quick-ly become addicted to failure. The people who put on an average three to five pounds when traveling are the ones who feel guilty about their indulgent behavior and decide it can’t be fixed. Every day is an opportu-nity to be better balanced. Even the most disciplined person slips, but what they suc-ceed at doing is getting back on track.

GO BY TRAINPHOTOS BY ERIC ROSE

In the shadows and reflections of boarding platforms, the ornate architecture of century-old stations, the sense of freedom on the faces of vacationers, and even in the

minutiae of an everyday commute, train travel invokes a certain romance. It can be a chance to slow down, dream and reconnect, if you choose to allow it. For more photos

BRINGING MUSIC BACK

CADA GERRANS IS ONLY 13, but she’s faced challenges that would break most adults. She lost seven family mem-bers in three years. Her single mom struggled to cover household bills with a grocery store job, so Cada qualified for free lunch at Portland Public Schools during elementary school.

Through these rough patches, Cada’s love of music has helped her persevere. For more than half of her life, she’s stud-ied voice, piano and bass guitar at non-profit Ethos Music Center in Portland, performing in local venues every chance she gets. She recently covered “Dog Days Are Over” by Florence + The Machine at a Portland performance, nailing the tricky runs and pulling the crowd to its feet. As it has with thousands of other kids, Ethos has given Cada a chance to heal, and to shine.

“When I’m singing, I can forget ev-erything else,” she said. “The teachers, my bandmates, the audience—they’re so loving and supportive. They’re the com-plete opposite of those mean teachers you see on ‘Glee.’”

Cada got hooked on music when she was seven and took a free Ethos music class at Vernon Elementary in North Portland. Once too shy to raise her hand in class, she’s now a magnetic perform-

er who counts Adele, Amy Winehouse, Led Zeppelin, The Beatles and Janis Jo-plin among her influences. When she’s not singing solo, she fronts a band called Death By Thumb, which recently opened for The Dandy Warhols at The Crystal Ballroom in Portland.

Cada’s mother, Margaret Gerrans, calls Ethos “a lifeline” for her family.

“It’s hard for me to talk about Ethos without sounding sappy,” she said. “The state of music funding is pitiful, but ev-ery child in Oregon should have music in their lives like Cada does.”

Ethos is working toward that goal. The nonprofit has come a long way since its founding in 1998, when it first started offering a handful of music classes in a University of Portland basement.

Founder Charles Lewis got the idea for Ethos while researching his thesis at Harvard’s graduate school of Public Policy. He had grown up in poverty and attended the University of Portland as an undergraduate, graduating magna cum laude. He credits his academic success to early music exposure. But he grew up before the flurry of arts cutbacks in the 1990s. Crunching numbers for his thesis, Lewis was shocked to realize that music was fast becoming something available only to the affluent.

Lewis started Ethos on his credit card while sleeping on a friend’s couch. He and a dedicated group of volunteers chose the organization’s name in hom-age to the ancient Greek “Doctrine of Ethos,” which holds that music can change thoughts, moods and actions.

Things started modestly, with only a few classes. But Ethos built up a network of donors, reached out to underserved schools, recruited passionate young music teachers and converted an aban-doned North Portland building into its headquarters.

Today, Ethos reaches 7,000 children per year and has a statewide reach. It offers free and reduced-rate private les-sons, group classes and camps to kids ages two and up, many of whom would otherwise have no art—performing or visual—in their lives. With a budget of $1.3 million a year and seventy-one staff members, Ethos is now Oregon’s largest music school.

“We believe music is a fundamental right, something that benefits not just the whole child but the whole commu-nity,” said executive director Jedidiah Chavez, who took the helm from Lewis in 2011. Lewis is still an Ethos adviser.

Ethos also continues to expand its mission into rural communities. Its Mu-

Ethos fills the musical void in underserved communities.

sic Across Oregon program launched in 2001, with a few teachers traveling to small towns in a bus, trying to reach communities of people who hadn’t had music instruction in decades. When the bus broke down, Ethos started looking for more reliable methods of outreach. Today Music Across Oregon places music teachers in underserved rural communities across the state, including Condon, Falls City, Fossil, Kings Valley, Madras, Metolius and the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs.

Teachers are recruited through a long-term partnership with AmeriCorps—the first federal music-based AmeriCorps program in the U.S. They are typically young, fresh out of music or teaching programs, and sign on for a one-year commitment in towns with populations less than 6,000. In addition to teaching music in schools full time, these music instructors offer after-school lessons and organize performances by students and visiting musical groups.

Most rural communities pay around $7,000 per year per music teacher, much less than what it would cost to hire a reg-ular music instructor. For housing and a modest $18,000 in wages and stipends, teachers spend a year not just leading lessons then clocking out, but integrat-ing into the community.

One of the most dramatic success sto-ries comes out of Fossil. A student who had been in and out of juvenile detention picked up guitar in a class from Music Across Oregon. His teacher encouraged him to stick with it and, years later, urged him to apply to the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston. He got in.

In 2011, the Ethos program in Warm Springs marked the first time an Ameri-Corps volunteer was placed on an Indian reservation in Oregon.

“The Ethos teachers are wonderful,” said Ellen Ames, an administrator with the K through 8 Academy at the Warm Springs Indian Reservation. “They real-ly inject themselves into the communi-ty in a positive way—hanging out at the community center and skate park, con-necting with the kids and their families. They do a good job incorporating Native American culture into the lessons while

exposing the kids to other music.”Last year, Warm Springs students

studied American Indian drumming and performed at the annual Warm Springs Craft Fair. They also got opportunities to study other instruments, including uku-lele and violin. This is characteristic of the Ethos approach.

“Our teachers are encouraged to tailor instruction around the culture and inter-ests of the communities, as well as individ-ual kids,” said Chavez. “At Warm Springs, we might incorporate drumming. With a rural program in Fossil, we might start with bluegrass and country. In other class-es, we’ll start with Beyonce or Jay-Z.”

Ethos now offers classes in everything from hip hop to classical piano and op-era. Its rock band program helps kids hone not just their musicianship and performance skills, but also teaches teamwork. Members plan everything themselves—divvying up parts, choos-ing costumes and deciding on set lists. None of this is easy, if the number of professional bands that break up over creative differences is any indicator.

“But the kids rise to the challenge,” said Chavez. “They could teach a thing or two to the grownups.”

Ethos’ Music Corps artist-in-residence program, founded in 2011, provides a safe, structured place for kids in low-in-come urban locations to go after school. About 75 percent of the kids who take after-school Music Corps lessons live below the poverty level.

“Some of these kids are not ‘at risk,’” said Chavez. “They’re no-risk—they lit-erally have nothing to lose.”

All of the Ethos programs allow stu-dents to rent instruments at no or mini-mal cost. This tangible investment in the kids is a way to connect with the home environment and a statement of trust.

Chavez is concerned that school arts programs have been slashed for so long that people now view music classes as “optional extras.” Study after study from schools such as Johns Hopkins Univer-sity, the University of Toronto, and the Yale School of Medicine, have shown that music instruction improves early brain development and academic performance.

Cada Gerrans endorses this research with an example from her middle-school math class. “Fractions came totally easy to me,” she said, “because I’ve studied time signatures.”

Chavez said it’s harder to quantify an-other important benefit—joy. “We want to see that spark, that fire in the kids’ eyes,” he said. “When people come to our galas, they witness it. And then they want to help however they can.”

Funding for the program comes large-ly through donations and grants. Oregon Cultural Trust is one major donor. The local blues community has been espe-cially supportive. Longtime donor Paul Delay, who died in 2007, established an Ethos scholarship in his name, one of which funds Cada Gerrans. The Decem-berists’ Colin Meloy, Bonnie Raitt and other artists also support the program.

But that doesn’t mean dollars flow in without tremendous effort. The organi-zation always needs donations—money, instruments, cases and volunteer time. Recently, an Oregon casino donated a blue carpet to replace the threadbare rugs in Ethos’ Portland performance space.

Ethos wants to reach even more chil-dren throughout the state, and that won’t come cheap.

In front of Ethos headquarters in North Portland is a fourteen-foot-tall copper treble clef designed jointly by founder Lewis and Art of Rain. It’s part sculpture, part downspout. When it rains, it plays “Somewhere Over the Rainbow.”

“The song captures our mission very well,” said Chavez. “We are a group of idealists. We want to bring the joy and magic of music to every child.”

The ancient Greek “Doctrine of Ethos”

holds that music canchange thoughts,

moods and actions.

More than 7,000 kids across Oregon benefit from Ethos programs every year.

Photo ContestEXP SURE

I wasn’t going on a trip, but I live nearby and was just wandering around town taking photos. The Puyallup Station is for our local commuter line, and I have taken similar train photos before, but never in the daytime. My goal was to capture the speed of the train as it came through.

4 Reads for the RailBY ANNA BIRD

SELECTED BY THE Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association as four of the best of the Northwest in 2015, these books tell the stories of four distinct journeys. Follow these characters as they confront their past, set out on the open road or train to be a professional ballet dancer. Kick back in your seat and witness these characters transform with each turn of a page.

This is your life, Harriet Chance! by Jonathan EvisonTwo years after her husband Bernard dies, 79-year-old Harriet Chance discovers Bernard won a trip for two on an Alaskan cruise. Uneasy about escaping her mundane routine but hoping the trip would be a much-needed boost, Harriet boards the cruise ship alone and sets sail. Greeted by a series of brutal revelations, Harriet’s trip is one of acceptance, retrospect and forgiveness. Inspired by the 1950s show “This is Your Life,” Evison’s narration pinballs among pivotal events in Harriet’s life, unfolding sixty years of false assumptions.

Last Bus to Wisdom by Ivan DoigThis coming-of-age story is centered on Donal Cameron, growing up in Montana’s Two Medicine Country in the 1950s. Eleven-year-old Donal lives with his grandmother, but when she goes in for a big surgery she sends him on a Greyhound to Manitowoc, Wisconsin to stay with a tyrannical great-aunt and the

aunt’s good-natured husband, Herman. It’s not long before Aunt Kate sends Donal back to Montana, and Uncle Herman decides to fly the coop and go with him. Their adventure west is complete with Doig’s usual ensemble of characters and a few rollicking mishaps. Last Bus to Wisdom is a charming and memorable finale to the late Ivan Doig’s literary legacy.

Crossing the Plains with Bruno by Annick SmithIn the summer of 2003, An-nick Smith and her 95-pound chocolate labrador, Bruno, embark on a two-week road trip across the Great Plains. Traveling from rural Montana

to Chicago’s north side and eventually Lake Michigan, Smith and Bruno’s journey tells a story of companion-ship, aging, romance and loss. This memoir weaves to-gether a tale of travel, history, personal meditation and the present reality of a dog.

Raising the Barre by Lauren KesslerWhen Lauren Kessler was a young girl, she dreamt of becoming a great ballerina. As an award-winning author in her adult life, Kessler was weary of libraries and archives, so she decided to become an immersive jour-nalist and revisit her child-hood dream. Raising the Barre recalls her experience joining the Eugene Ballet Company to perform in The Nutcracker. More than that, it’s a story of taking risks and facing fears, and blithely ignoring how you’re “supposed” to act at a certain age.

Major improvements for Amtrak CascadesThe Washington State Department of Transportation is investing nearly $800 million in federal grant funds to deliver critical rail infrastructure improvements that will expand travel choices for Amtrak Cascades pas-sengers by 2017. Ten of the 20 projects are already completed, including:

Advanced wayside signal systems create more efficient and safe train movements by upgrading control points, sidings, and turnouts in the 300-mile long Washington corridor

A second 1,300-foot track in Vancouver eases congestion

Improvements at the Port of Van-couver relieves congestion with a new rail trench that separates passenger and rail traffic

A new connection between D to M Streets in Tacoma adds 1.4 miles of new track and allows trains to stop at the new Tacoma Dome Station

A new Tukwila Station replaces a temporary structure with a multimodal hub

Improvements to King Street Sta-tion in Seattle include significant seismic retrofits for safety and restores the lobby to its majestic grandeur

New receiving/departure tracks in Everett eases congestion

Slide management projects stabilize slopes at four vulnerable landslide sites near Mukilteo and Everett to limit rail service disrup-tions (2 others were completed in 2013-14)

A siding extension in Mount Ver-non provides more room for trains to pass each other

A new customs facility in Blaine/Swift creates a second siding for customs inspections

Over the next 18 months you’ll see the completion of the remain-ing projects, including:

A brand-new Tacoma Amtrak Cascades station and a bypass be-tween Tacoma and Nisqually that will result in shorter travel time between Seattle and Portland

Eight new Siemens Charger locomotives will be delivered in fall 2016 to improve reliability, be more fuel efficient, and position us for faster train speeds in the future

King Street Station track improve-ments in Seattle to reconfigure connections and increase capacity for all trains operating at the sta-tion

Two corridor reliability upgrade projects adding state-of-the-art technology and equipment along the entire Washington corridor

Three projects in the Kelso/Kalama/Longview region to improve rail capacity and reduce congestion

A bypass at the Vancouver Rail Yard to separate passenger and freight traffic and reduce congestion

More information on all of the projects can be found on our web-site at www.wsdot.wa.gov/rail
