Things To Do
Space Needle
Seattle has many great sights to see! The Space Needle, The Museum of Pop Culture, Chihuly Glass Museum, and Starbucks Reserve Roastery + Original location are a few things to see in downtown Seattle. If you are staying in downtown Seattle, there is a link train that can get you from the airport to Seattle and the buses are pretty reliable as well. Everything is also easy to uber or walk between.
Pike Place Market
A Seattle Classic! Explore the market and the surrounding area in the heart of Seattle
Tacos Chukis
If you are looking for some great tacos, look no further than Tacos Chukis with 4 locations around Seattle. We'd recommend the South Lake Union or Cap Hill locations
Flatstick Pub - South Lake Union
Sangeetha and I had many competitive putt putt and Jenga games on our dates here! Hit the ball around a 12 foot tall Sasquatch to beat your fellow golfers on a typical rainy Seattle evening.
Salt & Straw
Can you come to Seattle for Tim's wedding no less and not eat ice cream? Go and enjoy somewhere we visited frequently when visited Sangeetha in Seattle.
Kerry Park
Kerry Park has the iconic view of Seattle's skyline. There have been many additions to the view since this picture was taken on our first visit to Seattle in 2018.
Gasworks Park
Gasworks is an ideal place to spend an afternoon as long as the weather cooperates! It has a great view of Lake Union and Seattle more broadly.
Fremont Troll
Come see the famous Fremont bridge Troll! Tim promises that he isn't mean, but Sangeetha was still too scared to take a picture with him.
Discovery Park
This beautiful park was one of our favorite places in Seattle! There is a short hike to this lighthouse where you get a great vista of the Pudget Sound and Bainbridge Island. If you are lucky like Sangeetha and I were for our sunset hike, you may be able to see the snowcapped Olympic Mountain range in the background!
Ballard Fish Ladder
Ballard is a hip waterfront neighborhood with trendy restaurants, indie shops, bars and craft breweries centered on historic Ballard Avenue. Ships and salmon pass through the Ballard Locks
Mount Rainier National Park
Mount Rainier is one of the most beautiful places in the US and offers stunning vistas of the mountains around it. We'd recommend doing the Skyline Loop at the Paradise park entrance! It may be a little snowy in early June, but well worth a visit. You might even get to see wildlife like the Hoary Marmot who will cut across the trails
Rattlesnake Ledge Trailhead
This trail offers beautiful vista of the many lakes and mountains around!
Lake Serene
While a challenging hike, the view of the alpine lake end was worth it!
Bainbridge Island
A great day to spend a day from Seattle. The views you get of Seattle and harbor from the Ferry makes the trip worth it on its own!
