Beautiful exhibition of glass artwork by Chihuly.A must see for this awesome art form.Amazing what they can do with glass.Tickets are $25 but you can also bundle a ticket to go up the Seattle Needle.
Even if you don't have the cash to wander into any of the museums or attractions, it's worth walking around Seattle Center and just to take a stroll and see the sights there for free.
The book prices are all as listed on Amazon.com. So they aren't listed but they have price scanners or you can look up on your phone.
The seafood's really good, there's a lot of local artists, a lot of beautiful jewelry. The most encompassing Seattle way to spend an afternoon. Read more.
Ride a bike along a beach road, have some Mora ice cream in town, or have a beer at the Harbour House Pub.
If you're in Seattle, this place is a must. Go watch them throw fish, then get you some Starbucks from the original location across the street.
Whip yourself + 5 friends around Lake Union in a “boat that is also a hot tub”. Of course you navigate it with a joystick. Obviously. Read more.
Awesome authentic Mexican. A bravo burrito with a taco will fill you up. Get the red hot sauce and their awesome guac.
Ba Bar evokes a modern update of a 60s French colonial officers club outfitted with a bakery, disco ball and orchids. Street food-inspired menu offers fresh bun bowls, pho, dumplings and cocktails. Read more.
Trails in the middle the city make it feel like you are out in the woods. Took the trail all the way down to the beach.
Best Mac n cheese I've ever had! They also have grilled cheese, cheese curds, and soups
Very authentic, everything on the menu is super cheap and super good. My favorite was the carne asada mulita.
Very cool aesthetic with outdoor and bleacher style seating. The local IPA and Pale Ales were some of my favorites.
Herkimer coffee americano is roasty, toasty, and comforting on a chilly morning. Hip spot with comics, newspapers, magazines, and records. Can get busy with locals.
The best Croque Madame and Monsieur I've ever had, plus great service and relaxing ambiance.
This is a must when visiting Seattle. Featuring an impressive collection of contemporary sculpture and stunning views of the city and the water.
Insanely beautiful, large variety of books and genres. Great bookstore to visit when in Seattle ;)
Super cool museum, I loved the fantasy exhibit! Well worth a visit even if you're only in town for a few days. They offer student tickets and combo tickets with the space needle.
Loved the melted chocolate and honey lavender! People are really friendly - ask for samples! Girl scout crumble topping was also amazing and the fresh waffle cones were super yummy.
Great spot to grab a bite and sit on the steps watching the waves, the sunset, the boats and ferries going by and the beach volleyball games. Get there and enjoy the sand!
Such great ambiance and the fish is absolutely world-class, try the combo meal that has a bit of everything you would want from a sushi restaurant.
The Seattle-based Watson Kennedy has won all sorts of awards for artful store displays. You’ll want to buy it all: the obscure cookbooks, antique dominos and lusciously wrapped hand soaps.
In this charming place, expect an abundance of delicious seasonal vegetables, wood oven-fired meats and fish, pickled treats and fresh baked desserts — favorites of Erickson's. [Eater 38 Member]
This is an awesome place for children to explore real instruments! More: http://www.seattlesymphony.org/soundbridgewarning: has odd hours!
Worth a visit and free. Next to the channel is a fish ladder for salmon; you can also watch through a viewing window. (Officially, these are the Hiram M. Chittenden Locks, but nobody calls them that.) Read more.
Amazing variety of exhibits. Also the price of your ticket can be applied to membership OR you can go to the Asian Art Museum for free within 7 days of SAM trip.
One of the best coffee experiences among a unique collection of imports! Roland pulls amazing espresso shots while telling stories about any artifacts around the store (if you ask). A must downtown!
Fresh donuts! (They make them right there !) Tom's favorite ( or Tod's) is amazing combo of green peas, octopus (!), potatoes, eggs. You must try it! This was the most unexpected menu. Nailed it!
Gamers, rejoice! Card Kingdom has everything a board or card game enthusiast could ask for — including an attached gaming cafe, where you can take a game for a spin before buying. Read more.
This is an absolutely fabulous museum. Lots to see and do but bring the hand sanitizer, as there is also a lot to touch! Plan on at least 3 full hours to see everything.
Inexpensive, but excellent food. Everything made from scratch. Get the veggie hash for breakfast and treat yourself to the buttermilk biscuit and raspberry jam....so good!
This trail does a big loop throughout king county. From Seattle to Bellevue you can ride and enjoy the views.
This place is so quaint, but rich in character and overflowing of delicacies that I'm surprised the walls don't burst open. Cheeses, wines, coffees, cured meats, trinkets, books, etc. This is a must!!
Spend lots of time here. Lots of cheap finds. Amazing bookstore, unique food - - a true cultural experience!
An absolute blast for people of all ages! The super water shooters can reach a height of 120 feet and the water in one super shooter is 66 gallons. People play in the fountain all summer long.
The Sunday afternoon boat rides are easily the coolest free activity in Seattle. If you're prone to sunburn ask the rental booth and they'll let you use their sunblock.
Get here at 9:30 on Sunday's! Came right at 10 and there was a huge line and only wait list spots left
One of my favorite pizza places in town - and I'm a pizza snob. Perfect outdoor patio too. I will be back many many times.
Saw it on a list via Buzzfeed about bakeries you need to visit. It was SO. GOOD. I got the gluten free biscuit with jam in the center. Amazing and I'm not even gluten free!! Can't wait to go back.
One of the best museums ever. There is a Windows 1.0 device running in real! Fun to play with it.
Crumpets! Crumpets as far as the eye can see! Everyone I've ever had has been delicious, but the various pesto ones are my favorite, as is The Vermont - maple butter, cream cheese and walnuts. Yum!
An amaaaazing assortment of umbrellas. Some lines have lifetime warranties (covering loss as well!) so try asking!
Good ideas and a heartwarming tale of how to change the world.
Wow this place is amazing. A huge store full of every kind of map you could want. They'll ship them home for you in tubes too.
Opt for rustic 'za like this fresh mozz/tomato/basil number, or the Spicy Lamb Meatball w/ kale & Provolone. Read more.
Loved it! The fancy option is good, but a lot of food - come with an empty stomach. Ambience was great. Cocktail selection was limited. We got moscato on the house for a birthday celebration!
Ray's Boathouse is one of the most popular places in Seattle. You can sometimes see their catering trucks driving around in Seattle. It's located right next to another popular place named Anthony's.
Slowly savor the Tempura Brie with the Raspberry Soy Sauce. This is not a delicacy to just be dipped and pounded. Try it w/ a nice sweet nigori sake. And don't forget the bad boy roll! Rolls = HUGE.
Really really nice garden, bring your to go coffee here, and enjoy the calming sound of the waterfall.
I doubt I'll ever see a neighborhood sculpture of a troll under a bridge again. People are pretty good about taking turns with photo ops here. Plenty of parking.
Donuts from Top Pot and mochas made with Dilettante chocolate, this cafe sources some of the best ingredients in the area. Sit and enjoy the local art which is changed regularly.
Their crepe with lettuce wrap was amazing as recommended by the waitor and we finished off with the coconut gelatin dessert which was big enough for 3! We were so full but glad we didn't miss this.
Favorite drink is White Velvet, but you can't go wrong with anything here. Also really like the ginger cider and Italian soda. The baristas are always friendly. Tip well!
Crabs by the bushel. Hammers cracking shells everywhere. The crab cake sliders and fish and chips are also pretty good.
If you still have some bucks after buying everything fancy in the shop, you kind of want to enjoy a good whiskey or thyme based cocktails — they are delicious!
I love the Americano au Lait!! The morning glory muffin is great for early in the day, and their lunchtime panini sandwiches are all tasty! Get there early for the best selection!!
Easily the coolest REI store anywhere. Make sure you go through the main entrance, because its awesome. Kids play area and restaurant and climbing wall. I could die happy here.
Mamnoon has created its own scorching hot rep with its Lebanese/Syrian cuisine. You can't go wrong with any of the dips or salads-then work your way down to more adventurous entrees. [Eater 38 Member]
Falafel sandwich with halloomi cheese is delicious and vegetarian. Frites are also quite the item.
It's all about quality here. They roast their own beans, pull shots on an MVP Hydra, make delicious pastries from scratch in the back, and the staff are friendly and knowledgable. All around fab.
