Absolutely magical. The Hall of Mosses trail is a short, easy hike through some serious LOTR territory. The Spruce trail is definitely recommended too, as it leads to the breath taking Hoh River.
Best view of the mountains on the peninsula. Drive up through the tunnels for some great hiking.
"Paradise" is a very accurate name. scenic trails and awe-inspiring sights. prepare for no cell phone signal; enjoy being immersed in the beauty of nature.
Fantastic view of Seattle, mountain range, etc.Great walk, awesome for people watching and just relaxing. Great place to have a bon fire too!
Don't miss the fish ladder - see if you can spot the different kinds of salmon.
On a clear day you may get to see a 747 / 777 / 787 being test flown and seeing it land or take off, a real treat is seeing the 'Dreamlifter' that carriers pieces of the 787 to the plant. I saw it
Stand at the corner of 5th and Spring, across from the library, to capture the entire building. A reflection of the sunset on the building is possible from late spring to early summer.
This is a MUST-SEE if you visit Seattle! The glass sculptures are incredible and the garden is beautiful at night. Make sure to buy your ticket 1 hour before closing time. Also, Space Needle is nearby
Situated on the edge of Beacon Hill, Dr. Jose Rizal Park provides a unique vantage point that highlights Seattle's financial district. The dog park is also very large and has diverse terrain.
On Tuesday evenings in summer, you can watch the Duck Dodge sailing regatta, a Seattle tradition that goes back nearly 40 years. With or without the regatta, the skyline at dusk looks great. Read more.
Aside from watching a sunset from a ferry boat, Golden Gardens is second to none. Come early to picnic. Buddy-up with strangers at a bonfire. Drink until the sun sets behind the Olympic Mountains.
The right-hand seat is open on the Seattle scenic tour and totally worth it, but remember that it's a lot warmer there than in the rest of the cabin.
Stand on the bench closest to the city to get over the trees. This is the postcard shot of Seattle with the Needle in front of the city. For more of a fun shot frame the Space Needle in the sculpture.
On weekends you can rent a pond sailboat, which are super fun to 'sail' - helps support the wooden boat center
This place has a special place in my heart. Come here for a few minutes of down time or mediation. Parsons Garden is the epitome of a hidden gem ❤️
The dominant materials in this Pioneer Square park are wood, concrete and water. It's like stepping into a Zen water and rock garden.The splashing water drowns out traffic noise and soothes the soul.
Entrance fee is 19$, but you can go to restaurant which is required 25$ minimum bill and observation desk entrance is included!!!
This is the original Starbucks and remains like it was back in the day. The original logo is still in tact. Yes, it is a Starbucks but this is the original!
Corndogs, babetastic bartenders and it looks like a carnival threw up in here. Love it! #uberapproved
What a fun place to start the day...especially on rainy wet day. I know biscuits & I know gravy and this place does both very well. The "Hot Mess Bitch" & "BitchWitch" is my order every time.
The sausage bitchwich is a fork-and-knife endeavor if I’ve ever seen one, especially once you smother it in a side of house gravy (which you should).
Hot chocolate--no matter what the weather. And say yes to the whipped cream they offer with it.
Drop in Fran's Chocolates and taste their selection. Free samples of chocolate truffle offered. Beautiful boxed editions and assorted chocolates displayed like a jewelry in crisp professional setting. Read more.
Only open for lunch from 11am-3pm. Get there early to be at the front of the queue since the line often goes around the block. Serves three pastas daily. Go with friends to try all of them.
Must orders: spicy chorizo rice cakes and the grilled octopus! Pair with a steak and small plate of your choice. Great flavors and perfect portions for sharing.
KB's real gems are 2 "Mega Burgers" for "insane appetites." #1. the double-beef/ double-cheese Tokyo Tower. #2: The one with beef, chicken, AND pork patties. Read more.
come after 10 for the ramly burger. omg. nasi goreng is also awesome and lamb murtabak is easy to eat on the go
The must-order Hawaiian-style fried chicken is served with kimchi, rice, and a chili dipping sauce. Don't skip it!
Spam sliders, a killer view of the city, and a waterfront location. What more could you want? How about boozy shave ice, an expertly selected beer selection, and a full bar.
It's all great! Earl Grey, Salted Caramel, Melted Chocolate, Stumpton Coffee—you can't go wrong. Ask for a split single scoop if you can't make up your mind but don't want to do 2 scoops.
Go to The Underground Cafe at 608 First Ave, in Seattle’s Pioneer Square, between Cherry Street and Yesler Way. Take the Seattle Underground Tour. Read more.
You can ask for some sourdough bread slices on the side for free if you want to save a little money instead of getting an entire bread bowl
Locals and tourists alike are drawn to the market for its catches-of-the-day, fresh produce, minstrel-like musicians and to take pictures of the iconic sign.
Great detour on your way between Seattle and Vancouver. They'll sell you crazy fresh oysters and teach you how to shuck em.
Papaya salad here is amazing. Also spicy dipping sauce in the fridge is to die for.
Satisfy the 5-year old kid and the manly man in you, order the warm chocolate chip cookies and shot of whiskey
Amazing selection. Lots to choose from and super friendly. Definitely coming back here again.
We are proud to be downtown Seattle's First (and number 1) Recreational Legal Pot Shop. Come in, and give us the opportunity to serve you some of the best products that Washington state has to offer!
Great staff and atmosphere. Specials for 'happy hour' Monday - Friday 6-7pm. Prices are good.
Staff is great. Selection is superb. Prices are the best in town.
The simple cold soba and duck soba are both delicious. Try the foie gras “tofu” for something unique and interesting.
An incredible spot. Everything is great here. The people, the coffee, the vibe. Location & atmosphere are top notch. Swanky but unpretentious. You can bring your kid or a client. All around A+
best ice cream in West Seattle. make sure to order a scoop of the coffee ice cream and a scoop of the Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. my favorites!
Coolest cafe in Seattle. Sensible, passionate staff. Quality coffee. Sick-ass ambience. And a darn right sexy logo, if I do say so myself.
