Things To Do
The Museum of Flight
*Groom's Pick* With historical aircraft, a section for space flight, and even an aviation pavilion dedicated to full-size crafts, the groom can spend hours strolling through the various rooms. His first visit, half a day wasn't even enough to take in their wide variety and read all the information placards. They offer FREE nights on the first Thursday of every month. That happens to be November 6th for anyone arriving early. The free hours are 5 pm to 9 pm. The Bride works here, so come say hi!
Seattle Center
*Seattle Classic* When you think of Seattle this is the place that comes to mind. The Space Needle, the Museum of Pop Culture, Chihuly Garden & Glass, and more. The Armory offers many places to eat, allowing for a space to stay all day.
Woodland Park Zoo
*Bride Pick* Woodland Park Zoo offers an array of animal viewing, from their African Savanna, Tropical Asia exhibit, and the Living Northwest Trail. The couple has gone to their Zoolights event every year for the holidays.
Il Viale
*Our Coffee Choice* As Northwesterners, of course, we have a coffee recommendation, and our suggestion is Il Viale! Attached to our ceremony location, we come by to talk about wedding plans and have found its our favorite coffee in the area. While there, check out downtown Edmonds with plenty of shops and seafood, as well as the beachfront.
Zulu's Board Game Cafe
*Our Usual Game Store* Our go-to space for board/card gaming. A shop, cafe, and event space all in one. Downtown from our place, it's a great spot to meet up with the bride and groom while in town!
Tipsy Cow - Woodinville
*Best NW Burgers* For burgers, our go-to is Tipsy Cow. The Woodinville location is the closest spot to us. The groom's burger of choice is the Smashburger, and the bride's recommendation is the WineMaker; topped with triple cream brie, alfalfa sprouts, carmelized onions, and white truffle aioli.
Redmond Town Center
*Best Man's Pick* An open-air shopping center, there's plenty of food, stores, and experiences to be had. We love going to Paint Away for custom ceramic goods, and eating at Kizuki Ramen. This is also where PinkaBella is, where we are getting the dessert for our wedding! The Bride's choice is the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough flavor and the Groom recommends Guiness if they have it, or anything fruit-flavored.
Bellevue Brewing Company - Spring District Brewpub
*Drink Pick* If you're staying in Bellevue and looking for a drink, this is a common after-work spot for the many tech workers in the city. We recommend queso birria tacos for a bite!
Coal Creek Falls
*Maid of Honor's Pick* Located in the Cougar Mountain Regional Wildland Park just outside of Bellevue's bustling Factoria neighborhood, she enjoys this hike due to the many interconnected trails. It's perfect for a wide range of experiences and shows off the wonderous green of the Pacific Northwest.
