Districts

 • High Falls. Featuring a waterfall in the center of downtown, this is a nice area to walk around.
 • Park Ave. There are a lot of great trendy shops in this district, and it's serviced by the RTS service. However, it's definitely not an entire day activity, and things close relatively early.
