An easy trip from Bremerton by ferry, the waterfront has a little bit of everything — the aquarium just opened a beautiful new expansion, Pike Place is always a fun stop, and you’re close to the Space Needle and other iconic Seattle landmarks. Just be sure to check the ferry schedule ahead of time so you don’t miss a boat.
Hands down our favorite bakery ever. Everything is made fresh that morning, so the selection is limited — and it goes fast. Expect a line (totally worth it), and get there early if you can. Coffee options are simple but solid.
A local favorite and a fun little date spot we’ve loved — cozy vibe, creative menu, and a great place to slow down and enjoy something delicious to eat (or drink!) close to home.
Our go-to lunch spot. It’s a Jimmy John’s — need we say more? Fast, familiar, and exactly what you expect. It does get a little hectic during the lunch rush, so plan accordingly if you're on a schedule.
A classic spot for fresh, local seafood with a great view of the water. It’s a sit-down place with all the Pacific Northwest favorites
A beautifully designed walk through gardens, woods, and open meadows. It’s a great excuse to hop over to Bainbridge, whose downtown is full of spots to eat, shop, and wander.
A charming coastal town with Victorian architecture, salty air, and plenty of places to wander, grab a bite, or poke around in little shops.
If you’ve got a free day and want to soak in some serious Pacific Northwest beauty, this place has it all — mountains, rainforest, and beaches, all in one. It’s a bit of a drive, but absolutely worth it if you’re up for the adventure.
If you’ve got an extra day or two, this makes for a fun little international adventure. Start with a drive to Port Angeles (a cute stop on its own), then hop on the ferry to Victoria, where you’ll find gardens, harbors, tea spots, and a whole lot of Canadians. Just don’t forget your passport — and definitely book your ferry ahead of time.
