Olympic National Park contains 3 different ecosystems including a rainforest. Head to the Quinault Rainforest (1 of only 3 in the western hemisphere) to see the largest Sitka Spruce tree in the world. Read more.
I absolutely love this place and is a must stop for my family and me anytime I'm near Portland. You can spend hours getting lost and roaming the shelves of this huge new/used bookstore.
This place is amazing! I had and loved Bone Marrow and Bourbon Soaked Bourbon Soaked Berries, Arbequina Olive Oil, Sea Salt Ice Cream with Carmel Ribbon, and Almond Brittle with Salted Ganache!
Great coffee shop, probably one of my favorites! Not many seats, but if you need an outlet the walls have 'em. Get a latte and an almond croissant, they're delicious!
Yeast dough is great so get a dozen and enjoy for the next 2 days. Captain crunch doughnut and 'no name' chocolate peanut butter doughnut are favorites.
Always worth a quick hike for some misty views. Beware, lots of people and you’ll likely get wet standing near the base of the falls. But great photos and spending time outdoors makes it worthwhile!
I don't like bloody marys and these are great, plus fantastic brunch food. The bibimbap with eggs and bacon and crunchy rice and such is outstanding
Order at least one dish per person, then ask for a couple plates and share the delicious bounty. It's a great way to try multiple dishes, since picking just one is really, really hard!
Fish throwing happens various times throughout the day! Volunteer or cheer them on! Expensive but, high quality Pike, Lobster Tail, various fish, white fish, etc. Daily Dozen Doughnut C🍩 is a must🐟!
On a good day, perfect for walking, running, biking, and in-line skating. The park runs for about 2 miles, so you'll be done with your workout before lunchtime is over.
Take some time to traverse the nearly 3 mile hike up and around the falls and back down to a picnic area. Lots of photo opportunities!
Get the signature Reggie Deluxe -- a biscuit loaded with fried chicken, bacon, egg, and sausage gravy -- and a Gourmet Chocolate Milk.
Beautiful, relaxing space; bring a book and a camera. Parts of the garden are under construction but still worth visiting. Parking is not free (as I read in another comment), also $10 admission.
The coolest park in Seattle. Watch the sunset over the Olympics. Take a 3-mile loop hike that feels like you're in the rainforest. Head to the beach and lighthouse if you have time.
Closest you’ll get to a true sushi experience in Portland. Sit at the bar, order off the specials menu and enjoy the sake. The tamago is a must have, especially to close out the meal.
Quality ingredients, inventive yet comfortable sandwiches, beer and wine on tap, outdoor picnic table seating, and a good overall atmosphere.
