Seattle reminds me a lot of of Vancouver, for all you Canadians out there! And you could literally do this trip simply to eat, which is a lot of what we did…ate and walked! When arriving at the airport, you can use the Light Rail O! So easy – we got off at West Lake to get downtown. We stayed at the Warwick Hotel and were super happy with the location.

Activities

• Getting the City Pass ahead of time is beneficial – it will guide with you lots of things to do and you’ll save time standing in line for each sight
• Wander around the Pike Place Market
• Go to the Chihuly Garden & Glass Museum
• Head up the Space Needle to get a view of Seattle
• Take a boat tour
• Do a wine tasting

Now to the Food…

Restaurants

• Local 360 – unreal!! Local and organic food. We went back there multiple times
• McMenamins – Irish Pub for happy hour
• Dahlia Bakery – a good, quick breakfast
• Cupcake Royale – ice cream!
• Rachel’s Ginger Beer – you can find this ginger beer at most of the restaurants downtown, but heading there and creating your own alcoholic or non-alcoholic “moscow mule” or some sort of variety is super fun
• Matt’s in the Market – finer dining
• Oddfellows Cafe and Bar & Little Oddfellows Coffee Shop – go to the first one for breakfast, and since you may be waiting in line for awhile, have someone head next door to the bookshop and grab you a coffee/tea
• Tankard and Tun – seafood restaurant in Pike Place
• The Tasting Room – a good spot for some wine tasting!
• Le Pichet – intimate French restaurant
• Lowell’s – a super standard breakfast
• Beecher’s – get some Mac & Cheese!

Enjoy the water, the walking, and…the wine…had to keep with the “w” theme there!
