So this past weekend I had the amazing opportunity to go to Seattle, Washington. It was absolutely wonderful. The weather was perfect. The people were friendly. The view was awesome (especially Mt. Rainier). And guess what, it did not even rain.
1. Pike Place
Pike Place is a definite must-see in Seattle. There are so many shops, food places, and markets here. They have fresh flowers, fresh fruit, fresh fish, and fresh bread. They also have plenty of souvenirs to take home to your loved ones (or for yourself).
2. Smith Tower
The Smith Tower was built in 1914 and became the tallest building west of the Mississippi. Even though now, it is quite far from being the tallest building in Seattle, it has a wonderful view of the city and the inside is absolutely beautiful.
3. Seattle Great Wheel
The Great Wheel gives you a great view of the whole city. You definitely get your money's worth. Also if you are scared of heights, the whole seat is completely closed in.
4. Fremont Troll
I have to admit, before I came to Washington, I was so excited about seeing this guy. The Fremont Troll was a lot bigger than I could have imagined though. Also, there is a nice brewery right next to it.
5. Space Needle
This is probably the thing that comes to most people's minds when it comes to Seattle. I did not get to go to the top of it, but the view of it was quite spectacular.
6. First Starbuck's Store
If you are a
coffee lover, you need to for sure go to the place Starbuck's all started. But do not get confused by all of the other
Starbucks around. This one is at Pike's Place and you will be able to tell which one is the first by the line going out the door. We had to wait 45 minutes to get into the store, but I would say that it was definitely worth it. I am not saying I would do it again, but it is definitely something you must do once. (Get the Coconut Milk Mocha Macchiato with extra caramel, it is the best.)
7. Moore Coffee Shop
If you love coffee and you love art, this is the place to go. It is a very small coffee shop with very good coffee.
8. Biscuit Bitch
Excuse my language, but this place was absolutely amazing. I got the Cheesy Pork 'n Bitch and it was one of the best breakfast meals I have ever had. It had biscuits, gravy, cheese, bacon, and eggs on it. 10/10 would recommend.
9. Chihuly Garden and Glass
I did not have the opportunity to go here but everyone I talked to in Washington recommended it to me. I will definitely have that on my to-do list for next time.
10. Gas Works Park
This place has a very nice view of the whole city, plus it sits on the river. It is a nice way to go relax and see Seattle at the same time.
