One of our go-to spots on Sunday evenings to walk Parker and see if we can spot blue herons and seals.
A staple worth spending a few hours at. And as a bonus, the Monet exhibit is in town. Our favorite chocolate shop is also across the street (Frans) and Pike Place Market is nearby.
There are SO many ice cream shops on Capitol Hill. Some of our favs: Salt & Straw, Frankie & Jo's, Sweet Alchemy, and Molly Moons. Pair it with the best ramen shop, Ramen Danbo OR Taku Seattle (Top Chef Portland finalist, Chef Shota's spot), and you have a complete meal!
Hop on an iconic Seattle ferry and wander around Bainbridge Island.
Only a ~40 drive from downtown Seattle, view Snoqualmie Falls and grab some food at Salish Lodge (their brunch and dinners are delicious). Worth the trip if you're a Twin Peaks fan.
About a 30-minute drive from downtown Seattle, Woodinville boasts over 130 wineries. If you go, Chateau Ste. Michelle is a must-see for their beautiful grounds and delicious wines.
Get your vitamin D and beer fix in by hanging out at Fremont Brewery's outdoor beer garden. Don't worry, if it rains, there's indoor seating too.
