Things To Do in Seattle

For those visiting Seattle and looking for something fun to do, Caroline & Josh have put together a list of their favorite places to eat, shop, and explore in the downtown area.

Pike Place Market

Seattle, WA

A must for first-time Seattle visitors. Lots of good food, fresh flowers, local art, and more.

The Neighborhood of Ballard

Seattle, WA

If you're looking for a fun spot to spend the day, the Ballard neighborhood is a great place to eat, shop, and explore. We especially love Prism boutique, Sonic Boom Records, and Stoneburner for a locally-sourced dinner.

Occidental Square Park

117 South Washington Street, Seattle, WA 98104
, (206) 684-4075

The heart of Seattle's largest art gallery district, great restaurants and shopping, and right near our wedding venue.

Whidbey Island

WA

If you plan to be in town for a while and want to experience the beauty of the surrounding islands, Whidbey Island is a quick ferry ride from Seattle. Our favorite place to eat there is Captain Whidbey Inn, a converted historic property right on the water.

Eat: General Porpoise
