With summer in full swing, authors Maria Dolan and Kathryn True's Seattle Field Guide is the perfect tool to get outside. The book has 38 recommendations, and we're taking a closer look at a few that will get readers out by the water.

In this episode, host Katie Campbell talks to Maria and Kathryn about four of their recommendations (and a few bonus ideas to enjoy the sunny season):

• The Commodore Park heron colony
• Shilshole Bay and its sea lions
• The ferry from Seattle to Bainbridge Island
• Secret shorelines of the city, including the Union Bay Natural Area
