• Fountain Quick, easy, free. Extremely walkable, easy side quest if you’re already in the area. • Space Needle Iconic Seattle landmark. Yes it’s worth if you’ve never been or haven’t been in a while. They added big glass panels on the promenade so the view is very beautiful • Pacific Science Center Has an IMAX theater that is the biggest screen in the city. Cool exhibits that rotate seasonally
Iconic spot. Touristy, but worth every minute, it’s so fun. Lots of cool vendors, can’t go wrong with what you choose. You can eat, drink, buy some trinkets, or just look around. Don’t get hit by a flying Salmon! Some food favorites: • Pike Place Chowder • Piroshky Piroshky • Mee Sum Pastry • DeLaurenti
This was recently re-done in the last couple years and is quickly becoming one of our favorite walks in the city. There are large boardwalks to walk down the waterfront.

• Discovery Park (where we got engaged) - Northwest of Downtown - Huge huge park. You can walk around here for hours. The park has a little bit of everything Seattle has to offer. Trees, grassy fields, cliffs overlooking the water and mountains, a hike to a lighthouse, and a rocky beach area to skip rocks. • Kerry Park - THE view for a Seattle photograph, especially if you can’t make it to the Space Needle, or want to do something free and easy - Near the top of a super steep hill so we’d recommend driving and parking • Seward Park - A 2.4mi loop that’s on Lake Washington - Beautiful views if you don’t want to walk/bike the whole loop • Alki Beach - West Seattle - The Beach Boardwalk of Seattle - One of 2 sandy beaches in Seattle • Golden Gardens (Where our Engagement photos were taken) - Northwest of Downtown - The other sandy beach - Nice for relaxing on the sand and looking at the water
