Taylor & Kelsey
Things To Do
Pike Place Market
Pike Place is big, be prepared for a lot of walking and crowds. Some of our favorites include a used book store and the comic/novelty store! You can also stop at the first ever Starbucks if you like waiting in line for coffee.
Seattle Aquarium
The Aquarium is such a fun place to check out! There are so many different marine animals and it's a great way to spend a few hours.
Pacific Science Center
Love science? Check this place out! A great place to take kids, or just adults! Taylor got to touch a sheep's brain here one time. There is a planetarium here where you can watch laser light shows. This is literally next to the Space Needle
Space Needle
The Space Needle is a well known attraction here in Seattle. Neither of us have ever been up it, but it's still cool to see and has a gift shop underneath.
Fremont Troll
Everyone seems to love the Fremont Troll. Taylor has never been, but Kelsey recommends checking it out! This is in the movie 10 Things I Hate About You with Heath Ledger and Julia Stiles.
Museum of Pop Culture
This place is amazing. The Experience Music Project is never a bad time. Fun fact: From the sky this building is said to look like a melting guitar!
Volunteer Park
This is a pretty park if you just want some place to hang. If it's not raining - or if it is - feel free to check it out! Bruce Lee is buried here.
Marymoor Park
This is a fun park, and outside of the big city if you aren't comfortable driving there!
Skagit Valley Tulip Festival
We went on one of our first dates to the Tulip Festival. This happens every weekend in April, so if you are staying for a while it is worth checking out!
iPic Theaters
If you buy the seats in the back, not only do they recline but you also have waiters that serve you food and drinks. It's amazing. We went here to see Beauty and the Beast for our one year anniversary!
Capitol Hill
Want to check out our favorite part of Seattle? Capitol Hill, my friends. Many local pride events are held in this area, including some of the bigger events during Pride weekend in Seattle. Stock up on your rainbows! There are a ton of amazing shops and places to eat!
Coastal Kitchen
Go get breakfast here, it's amazing. Get the hash browns, thank us later. Vanilla latte? Add that to your list. Don’t forget the gingerbread waffles. Be prepared to gain 10 lbs.
Dick's Drive-In
Put some Dick’s in your mouth! Cheap burgers and such! People are going to ask you for money or food here. It is your choice how you respond. This place is cash only!
Unicorn
This is a bar. I wouldn't call it a gay bar, but it's in Capitol Hill. Taylor has been here twice, Kelsey has gone 3-4 times. Look. We don't party, but this place is pretty cool if you like this kind of thing.
Cafe Mox
There are two of these, one is located in Bellevue, WA. Board game store/restaurant. You can bring your own game or borrow from Mox for a great time playing board games and eating food.
AFK Tavern
Board games, food, ultra nerdy decorations. Can't go wrong.
Half Price Books
You can find these all over, but the one in Bellevue is Taylor's favorite so far. Used book paradise.
The Museum of Flight
AIRPLANES!!! No seriously, this place is way cool. If you are capable of riding some of the simulators, we recommend it!
Woodland Park Zoo
This is great for kids and adults. This zoo is way cool, and is very much worth checking out. There is also a creepy bug thing that Taylor regrets going into because spiders. We bought our first plant together here.
Green Lake Park
Kelsey says this is a pretty park, so you will have to trust her! Needless to say it's a park so it's gotta be neat.
Ballard (Hiram M. Chittenden) Locks
The locks link Puget Sound with Lake Union and Lake Washington. It allows passage of boats as large as 760 feet long to pass through. Freshwater is exchanged with salt water. This is a cool thing! Kelsey likes it!
Juanita Beach Park
Excellent place for playing Pokémon Go! Tons of poke stops on the boardwalk! Seriously though, this is where we spent a lot of our first summer together!
Flatstick Pub
Drinking and mini golf! Check groupon for a special! We have four cups from this place, because nothing says adult like pub glassware. There is also a bar across from this called Vovina, which is where we had our second date. Delicious tater tots.
urban COFFEE lounge
This was the location of our first date!
GameWorks
If you like arcade games, check this place out! They also often have specials on Groupon!
Washington State Ferries
Ferries are cool, and you can explore some more of Washington!
Mount Rainier National Park
This is Taylor's favorite place in Washington. Since it will be April, parts of the park may be closed due to snow.
Sykart Indoor Racing Center
Go karts! Neither of us have been here but it's closer to Black Diamond than some of the other places.
iFLY
Indoor skydiving! We haven't gone but it sounds fun!
