Harbor Steps Staircase Plaza - Seattle YNA: Harbor Steps in Seattle is such a cool spot! Its a series of interconnected walkways and staircases that lead down to the waterfront. The area is bustling with shops, restaurants, and even some beautiful fountains. Its a great place to explore and soak in the vibrant atmosphere of Seattle.
Kubota Garden - Seattle Steven: One beautiful garden with a variety of plants, trees, and shrubs. The entrance to the garden is inviting, then there is a giant bell to the right. The mazy trail gets to different places with beautiful flowers, waterfalls, and ponds inside this magnificent garden.
The staff does a great job with the landscaping and taking care of this place.
I highly recommend anyone visiting Seattle to come by and check it out.
Bruun Idun - Way of the Bird King - Seattle Sour Psycho: Came just to see the troll — totally worth it!
We made a special trip to Lincoln Park just to see the Bruun Idun Troll, and it did not disappoint. It’s massive, whimsical, and full of character. You can really appreciate all the work that went into it — from the recycled wood to the expressive face and posture. It felt like meeting a gentle giant from a storybook.
The setting is beautiful too — peaceful and surrounded by nature, which makes the experience even more magical. We spent some time walking around it, taking photos, and just soaking it all in. Definitely recommend making the trip if youre into art, nature, or just want to see something unique and creative.
Can’t wait to see the rest of the trolls in the series!
Emma Schmitz Memorial Overlook - Seattle Derrick: This is a great beach to go for a walk. Their are amazing views of the mountains from this beach, and depending on the time of year you can occasionally see whales from the beach. There is an Elvis Presley marker, listed on one of the beach houses along the beach. This is a great place to spend the day and enjoy fantastic scenery.
Centennial Park - seattle - Seattle Girish Kumar: Absolutely lovely park for a walk by the water with an epic view of Rainier on one side and mountains on the other side. This has trails that are dog and bike friendly. There are benches along the trail to sit and soak the beauty of the surrondings. There is a beach on the trail if you would like to get into water. Probably a nice place to swim as well. Its a great sunset spot. One of the best places for an evening stroll to watch a sunset.
Pike Place Market Sundeck - Seattle Kaut Joelle (ELLIEk.): What a great place with such a positive vibe! I dont think theres ever been a time that Ive gone to the market where I havent left feeling Just at peace and happy... it doesnt matter whether its raining or sun shining!
The last time I was there I was sitting in my car getting ready to leave and this beautiful girl dressed all in yellow came to my window and handed me this gorgeous tulip Arrangement and told me that they were for me, then proceeded to give me a hug and said have a great day..... and it just blew my mind! What a great place, with such beautiful people and beautiful views!
If you havent gone for a while and youre local, you need to come and experience the market again, and just have a nice afternoon or make a day of it! I think its fair to say that theres something for everyone at every age!
The locals merchants have amazing talents and they create the most unique and beautiful handcrafted things! Ive got a some amazing things from Seattle Raindrop Jewelry, pieces that I wear everyday ! Rachel is the silver/goldsmith and makes each piece by hand. Just amazing quality at such a reasonable price!
The Produce and the Seafood/Meat are exceptionally fresh and of excellent quality!
I dont think theres anything that you could want and not find it there in some capacity! Probably a lot of other things you never thought you needed that you would definitely decide you did ! ;)
...And if youre reading this and you are on vacation or youre from out of town... make sure to put it on your list of things not to miss when youre here !! You will have lovely memories and youll want to take a lot of pictures so make sure you bring your phone fully charged or your camera as there are a lot of photo Point opportunities. Of course it has the beautiful Puget Sound Waterfront but theres also brilliant color with backdrops of Gorgeous Flowers and vibrant fruit and vegetables !
OF course it wouldnt be the Pike Place Market without.. the smells of fresh bread and pastries, homemade waffles, fresh corn on the cob, as well as the aroma of wonderfully cooked International Foods throughout the air.. even if you werent hungry....
you will be!!! Have fun dont forget to ask about the Gum Wall and get your picture taken with the Pike Place Market pig!
Kringles Inventionasium Experience (Seattle) - Seattle Suzanne Kash: What a whimsical way to conjure holiday cheer! Our family loved being led through the experience by the generously kind cast of characters. Both my teen and my 4 year old were delighted. The puppet my daughter made is darling! And one of the activities provided fun, thought-provoking difficulty for my son and me. This was my daughter’s first meeting of Santa, and Mr. Kringle was the real deal! Kringle’s Inventionasium Experience supersedes waiting in line for a quick photo with Santa. Cute gifts and hot chocolate bar are a perfect plus. Free parking on Sunday was easily found not far from the entrance!
Spooked In Seattle Ghost Tours - Seattle William Lew: Kim was amazing and very thorough on Thi’s Spooktacular tour. Her enthusiasm and engagement made this a thrill for our family. The audio and visual made this even better and well worth doing. Make sure Kim is your guide for the best tour ever!
Argosy Cruises - Seattle Waterfront - Seattle Richard Fernandez: Wow! What an amazing tour! The scenery is pristine. Our tour guide was wonderful and full of great history and even some current tid-bits. The two hours seems to fly by as you motor through Elliot Bay into Puget Sound then through the Ballard Lock into Lake Union. Great views of the Seattle coast line and small marinas. It can be chilly and wet so dress accordingly. Drinks and food are available on the ship. We paid for the shuttle back and it was worth it as youll get a nice little city tour on the bus back. 5 stars and worth every bit!
