Things To Do
Pike Place Market
Wander around Pike Place Market and discover locally made crafts and art, the incredible flower mart, and more. Visit the original Starbucks (though we recommend skipping the line here and going to the Starbucks Roastery in Capitol Hill, or one of many local shops around town), get drinks at Zig Zag, pizza at the Alibi Room, mac & cheese at Beechers, visit the gum wall, and enjoy all the touristy things here!
Chihuly Garden & Space Needle
Chihuly Garden & Glass is an outdoor and indoor museum featuring the work of Dale Chihuly, who was originally from the Seattle area. The exhibit is located in the heart of Seattle, so take some time to wander to the Space Needle while you're there!
Green Lake Park
Justin and I lived close to Green Lake and took Telly here almost every week. The park is a beautiful three mile trail around the lake, with coffee shops (highly recommend Revolutions!) and restaurants around the outskirts. It's a great way to enjoy some gorgeous Seattle scenery.
Gas Works Park
A uniquely Seattle park, Gas Works is an urban reclamation project — the city turned an abandoned gas works (thus the name) into a gorgeous park facing Lake Union. You can't get better views of the downtown skyline than on this.
Olympic Sculpture Park
We fell in love with Seattle for many reasons, two of which are its art and its nature. You can experience both during a lovely walk through the sculpture garden.
Burke-Gilman Trail
A flat and beautiful walking/biking trail that cuts through almost all of Seattle. Excellent for a pretty day out (rent a pair of bikes and head to a brewery) with lots of sun and a good views.
Woodinville Wine Country
Spend the day outside of the city in wine country! Woodinville is chock full of scenic wineries. We recommend Chateau Ste Michelle, Adams Bench, and JM Cellars.
Sushi Kashiba
This is the best sushi in Seattle, and that's saying something!
Reuben's Brews - The Taproom
This is where we had our first date :)
Fremont Brewing's Urban Beer Garden
Great beer and dog watching!
Taste of India
This Indian restaurant was around the corner from our house, so we were frequent fliers here! Make sure to get the samosas and the naan.
Rachel's Ginger Beer
When most people think about Seattle, they think coffee, but it also has the world's best ginger beer! Head to Rachel's Ginger Beer (with locations in Capitol Hill and in Pike Place) for a refreshing beverage.
Serious Pie
Famous Seattle spot for some seriously good wood-fired gourmet pizza!
