Things To Do
Alki Beach Park
Alki is a beautiful spot in West Seattle. There is a long path along the beach you can walk down and enjoy the sights. Make sure to stop for fish and chips at Sunfish or for some arcade games at Gary's Place while you're there! Two of our very favorite West Seattle stops.
Rattlesnake Ledge Trailhead
A classic PNW hike near Snoqualmie, WA - Child friendly with a moderate incline.
Waterfront Park
The name says it all - a waterfront park in Seattle that is a short walk from Seattle Aquarium, the Great Wheel, and Pike's Place Market.
Paradise Meadows & Skyline Trailhead
Mount Rainier National Park is a great spot to visit on a sunny day. It's a few hours out of the city and there are plenty of meandering trails of all difficulty levels. We recommend visiting on a weekday or early in the morning on a weekend, as the road into the park gets very congested during sunny weekends.
Blue Angels Air Show
The Blue Angels will be flying over Lake Washington in the early afternoon on 8/1 and 8/2 as part of Seafair Weekend. There will be congestion closer to Lake Washington, but we can help brainstorm good vantage points that avoid the heavy crowds. There are peek-a-boo views all over the city.
