Things To Do
Seattle Waterfront and Pike Place Market
The waterfront is a fantastic tourist destination and a perfect addition to a visit to Pike Place Market. It features delicious seafood restaurants, unique shops, and the Seattle Aquarium. You can easily access it by strolling down the new Overlook Walk Park, which offers some of the best views in the city.
The Seattle Space Needle
The Space Needle is one of Seattle’s most famous landmarks, built for the 1962 World’s Fair. Today, it’s a top tourist attraction, offering amazing 360-degree views of the city, Puget Sound, and the mountains.
Museum of Pop Culture
If you love pop culture and music, this museum is a must-visit! It features a variety of exhibits, from the history of Jimi Hendrix to an interactive hands-on music experience.
Chihuly Garden and Glass
Chihuly Garden and Glass, located right next to the Space Needle, is a breathtaking museum showcasing blown glass artwork. The vibrant exhibits, both indoors and in the garden, make it a must-see!
Seattle Chinatown-International District
The International District is home to countless incredible restaurants, offering everything from dim sum to ramen. Beyond the food, it's also a great place to explore, with vibrant shops, cultural landmarks, and a rich history to take in as you walk through.
Bainbridge Island
Bainbridge Island is where I grew up, and it’s such a beautiful place to visit. The 35-minute ferry ride from downtown Seattle is worth it just for the views! Once you step off the ferry, you’ll find yourself in downtown Bainbridge, full of cute shops and great restaurants. If you’re staying in Seattle for a few days, it’s an awesome day trip to explore and soak in the island vibe!
