Red Tricycle Spray Park Review:  Hands down we think this is the coolest spray park south of the Ship Canal. The central point of this King of All That Is spray park is a 50-gallon, bright red bowl--accurately named the Mega Splasher--that slowly, silently fills with water, 20 feet above teenagers and tots alike. As the bowl fills, watch the braver kiddos begin to line up under its splash zone, and then get ready for the tidal wave—the bowl slowly tips, and those carefully collected gallons of water wash down towards the sea of kid-manity, completely drenching the ones who dared to stay. It’s great entertainment for you and a cool thrill for the bravest of splashers.  Besides the awesomely entertaining Mega Splasher--the only one in Washington--there are smaller tipping bowls that also spin by kid power, a spray circle, spray guns and various gentle ground sprayers, including four “flowers” that send a sweet spray two feet in the air, and can be turned on with little toes. The spray area is surrounded by a low cement wall, perfect for parents to sip their iced lattes and steer clear of the sun. Bathrooms and water fountains are right next to the spray zone, just the right distance for the potty-trainers who just gotta go.  Insider Mega-Splash Zone Tip: Keep an eye on your tots and steer them away from the Mega Splasher

Halwo Kismayo Grill is a celebration of traditional Somalian cuisine. Established in 2011 in Tukwila, this locally-owned restaurant strives to “capture the spirit of Somalian hospitality and the warmth of shared family meals.” Open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, it’s a great place to stop if you need a quick bite to go, or want to sit down to a leisurely meal. Either way, you’ll be treated to friendly service and dishes made from fresh, locally-sourced ingredients.     

As one reviewer put it, “This is one of those places you don't want to tell anyone about and keep all to yourself. The food was wonderful - great flavor, reasonable prices, and huge portions.”   

Need to Know:   
- Signature Dishes: Halwo Kismayo Grill is known for homemade Somali favorites such as sambusas, crispy, triangular pastries that are filled with seasoned meat or vegetables. Similar to samosas, they’re perfect for a snack or appetizer.   
- Other popular items include mandazi, deep-fried, donut-like treats, and chapati, (also known as roti), a type of soft, flat, unleavened bread. Order chapati on its own, or enjoy it in a dish such as katakata, a Somali dish made with beef, chicken, fish, or lamb cooked in a sauce with onions, tomatoes and spices. The chapati comes mixed into the stew, so it soaks up all the delicious sauce.    
- Somali-style Pasta: Those unfamiliar with Somali cuisine might be surprised to learn that pasta is a staple food, though it’s very distinct from the kind of pasta you’ll find elsewhere, often incorporating spices such as cardamom, cumin, and cloves. At Halwo Kismayo Grill, you can order Somali-style pasta with various meats such as goat and lamb.     
- American Comfort Food: In addition to Somali cuisine, you can order Philly Sandwiches and Wraps, quesadillas, burgers (choose from beef, chicken, fish, or lamb), and chicken wings. There are also fusion dishes, such as french fries topped with spicy chicken masala.
