Next time you're stumped for a weekend outing, here's a deal: Pick a card, any card.
WestWinds Press of Portland has released "52 Weekends in Seattle," which morphs a guidebook to local attractions into a glossy deck of cards.
Each of the 4-inch by 5 ½-inch cards features a Puget Sound-area attraction or event, ranging from the well-known — Space Needle, Ballard Locks, Woodland Park Zoo — to the more obscure, such as Slater Museum of Natural History (Tacoma) or the Seattle International Beerfest.
One side of each card features a color photo, with the flip side giving "when, where, when and how" information, along with a Web address, toll-free phone number, basic directions and hours. Six icons indicate whether the destination is child-friendly, dog-friendly, accessible by mass transit or bike, handicap-accessible and free or inexpensive.
The set, in a flip-top box, retails for $12.95.
