A day at the spa is a fabulous way to unwind and recharge, but for those looking for something beyond traditional services, a few Seattle spas have upped the ante with new innovations.
Habitude Salon and Day Spa (Ballard, 2801 NW Market St.; 206.782.2898) founder Inez Gray recently introduced Spa Canna: a massage that incorporates lotions made with cannabidiol—a substance derived from cannabis and commonly known as CBD—to induce deep relaxation and improve symptoms related to joint inflammation. The therapeutic experience uses non-psychotropic products from Denver-based body care line Apothecanna.
Antonio Spa (114 Virginia St.; 206.448.2684), the new offshoot of Belltown-based Antonio Salon, offers a contemporary open-floor concept with appointments taking place behind ceiling-high curtains. “Sometimes going to the spa can be an ordeal,” says co-owner Masumi Hill, “so we created a space that is approachable and open that still offers private spaces for our clients.” We recommend the OxyGeneo facial, an oxygen-infused treatment that restores skin volume, reduces the appearance of wrinkles and tightens pores.
We’ve all tried to dream up ways to complete a workout without going to the gym. The Infrared Pod, offered exclusively in Greater Seattle at Penelope and the Beauty Bar (downtown, 411 University St.; 206.438.1750), might be as close as we get. A single session of lying in the jade-lined pod, which acts similarly to a sauna, supposedly burns around 400 calories. Other benefits include reduced stress, increased cardiovascular conditioning and clearer pores.

Here’s Your Earth Month To-Do List
Local cleanups, trail work, and ways to get outside this April.
In the Pacific Northwest, a region deeply connected to water, forests, and ecosystems, the climate conversation has never been theoretical. It shows up as shrinking snowpack, severe flooding, and warming streams. If the planet’s future—and that of our own backyard—can feel overwhelming, this year’s Earth Day theme, “Our Power, Our Planet,” puts the action back…
A Clear Vision for Growth
Local optometry clinic Eye Eye celebrates a decade in business and prepares to debut its first line of frames.
In Leschi Park, overlooking Lake Washington, towers one of Seattle’s many historic trees, a giant sequoia planted sometime in the early 20th century. Just down the street on Lakeside Avenue is the second location of eye clinic and shop Eye Eye, where Dr. Will Pentecost seems to be borrowing some of the leafy specimen’s energy….
