If it’s your first visit to Seattle, visit some of these classic spots! - Pike Place Market: Wander the market, watch the fish fly, grab a snack, and take in the waterfront views. - Alki Beach or Golden Gardens Park: Beach walks with Olympic Mountain views on a clear day. - Take a ferry ride to Bainbridge Island for classic PNW scenery. - Fremont: Visit the Fremont Troll and check out the Fremont Sunday Market. Also consider some activities more local to South Seattle, where we live! - Grab brunch at Geraldine's Counter or Both Ways Cafe. If you're feeling brave, wait in line at Flour Box to grab donuts before they sell out! - Go for a walk at Kubota Garden, a beautiful Japanese garden that we went on one of our first dates! - Go for a swim at Martha Washington Park or one of the many docks along Lake Washington.
