Andrew is a lifelong Bellevue resident and Blessie has been writing trip itineraries for over a decade. Together, we have decided to help you make the most out of your time in the PNW!

- Opens at 7 am: breakfast/brunch at Ludi's, a family-run Filipino diner. Their ube pancakes are to DIE FOR. Note that it is only a weekend offering.

- Explore Pike Place Market and its surrounding shops. Our favorite shops to browse are Post Alley Kids, Sur La Table, the various flower vendors, Truffle Queen, Metsker Maps, and DeLaurenti Food & Wine. If you're hungry as you're walking, we find that Piroshky Piroshky, Beecher's, Pike Place Chowder, Tiny's Organic Apple Cider, The Crumpet Shop, and Hellenika are reliable. Stop by the gum wall and browse the Alaskan Way waterfront via the new Overlook Walk.

- We highly recommend Bangrak Market in Belltown for dinner. It is some of the best Thai food we have ever had.
