#SUPREME FISH BOWL PRO#

Bonus points for high-quality outerwear being a perfect Seattle souvenir.īack in town, if any of the city’s pro sports teams have a home game, get tickets and go! Spring is a great time to catch the Mariners at T-Mobile Park ( 1250 First Ave), which not only has awesome views from every seat but also fantastic food concessions. Keep in mind, we love our outdoor gear shops here-consider Patagonia, Filson, Arc’teryx, and REI. Ogle the (seemingly) 5 million types of cheese and charcuterie, and marvel at the myriad chocolate bars and cookies. And at the end, it’s such a treat to dip my toes in the icy cold river.īefore setting out on your hike, pick up an urbane backpack lunch at DeLaurenti’s ( 1435 First Ave) in Pike Place Market. My favorite hikes are along the Snoqualmie River-they’re shorter and not too strenuous, perfect for a half-day in the woods. King County Metro operates Trailhead Direct bus service to popular hiking trails in the Cascades, which are also an easy drive. It would be a shame not to experience the region’s beautiful surrounding forests.

If it’s still light out, take a postprandial stroll through Lincoln Park ( 8011 Fauntleroy Way SW). There are lots of unique shops in this neck of the woods. Or head on over to The Junction and pop into Supreme Pizza ( 4521 California Ave SW).

Il Nido ( 2717 61st Ave SW) is a favorite for delicious pastas-reservations are advised. For dinner, you have some great options in West Seattle. Snap a few selfies with the gorgeous Seattle skyline as your backdrop. Navigate up through the hills to Admiral Way, stopping at Admiral Viewpoint ( 3600 SW Admiral Way) to watch ferries ply Puget Sound and jets fly overhead. As the summer months roll in, there’s a dramatic transformation-Alki throws off California vibes. In the winter, this beach is cool and serene. Eat well and support a great cause!Īs you head north into the Emerald City, stop in West Seattle, driving north along the water and parking by Alki Beach ( 2665 Alki Ave SW) to wiggle your toes in the sand. Here, new arrivals to America share authentic foods from their homelands as they learn the ins and outs of operating a business in the United States. At this modest cafe operated by the Food Innovation Network, you can choose from several different cuisines for lunch the selection changes regularly as this is an incubation project for immigrant businesses, but recent options have included Cambodian, Congolese, and Afghan fare. If you’re coming from the airport, whether you’re driving or traveling by light rail (a great way to avoid high gas and parking prices), stop in Tukwila (the Duwamish word for hazelnuts, which grow wild in this area) and bring your appetite to Spice Bridge ( 14200 Tukwila International Blvd, Tukwila).
