Hothouse Spa & Sauna

Is a small urban women-only spa with an industrial/basement vibe. great for a relaxing soak in the tub. expect to be nude and quiet, and bring your own towels.

Club Z

On the other end of the spectrum, club z is a gay male bathhouse with no tubs and a lot of glory holes! don't walk in if you expect to do any dancing or, um, bathing.

The northern portion of the Arboretum includes several small islands, and on one of Seattle's characteristically lovely summer days, exploration by water is enjoyable. Watercraft rentals are available from two locations in the University District just across the Ship Canal.
