The Micoadventure: Epic Adventures Without the Epic Hassle
19. Toast the Breathtaking Sunset at the Quarterdeck
Watch the sun slip behind the Olympic Mountains and paint the sky in vibrant hues while sipping wine, craft beer, or an espresso at the Quarterdeck at Des Moines Marina.
While there are many spots along the shore of the Puget Sound that make for excellent sunset viewing, this may be one of our favorites - you get the incredible view, plus tasty libations and occasionally live music and food trucks as well! And if you're a dog lover, the Quarterdeck is pet-friendly, so you'll often get to see a few furry friends to make your visit a tail-wagging good time.
