Things To Do

The Wedding Website of Haley Budigan and Bob Ni
A HIGHLY curated list of some of Haley's (and I guess also Bob's, too) favorite things to do, eat, and experience in the greater Seattle area. Please read this because Haley actually spent a lot of time on it THANKS

Pacific Science Center

200 2nd Avenue North, Seattle, WA 98109

We absolutely love museums, and this one has a whole lot of fun activities plus an IMAX for good measure! Check out the rotating special exhibits to see what's coming through.

Museum of Pop Culture

325 5th Avenue North, Seattle, WA 98109
, (206) 770-2700

MoPOP (previously the Experience the Music Project) has something for everyone! Check out Jimi Hendrix's guitars (or what's left of them...), all the Nirvana artifacts you would ever want, and movie props from every Sci-Fi , Horror, and Fantasy movie you have ever seen (personal fav is Shawn's bloody shirt from Shawn of the Dead, close second is Captain Kirk's chair)!

Seattle Public Library-Central Library

1000 4th Ave, Seattle, WA 98104
, (206) 386-4636

Made to look like a glass pile of books, the Central Library has so many interesting nooks and crannies to explore! Ask about the "Red Hallway" if you want to feel transported to another world.

Pike Place Market

Haley's favorite place in Seattle- check out Pyroshky Pyroskhy and the Sunny Honey Company while you're there, and don't forget to take a selfie with the gum wall!

Ballard Sunday Farmers Market
