Emily and Nick's Top 12 Favorite Seattle Activities

1. Walk around Green Lake Park -- particularly great for group walks with friends or while listening to a good podcast.2. Explore Washington Park Arboretum -- flowers bloom at all times of year and the running and walking trails are amazing.3. University Village Shopping -- Emily used to go here twice per month because it's the best outdoor mall ever (she might have a shopping addiction...).4. Walk along Seattle's new Waterfront Park and see Olympic Sculpture Park, both recently completed and super fun.5. Pike Place Market -- beautiful bouquets, fish throwing, tchotchkes abound and food galore (stop at Mee Sum Pastry, Piroshky Piroshky, or make a dinner res at The Pink Door)6. Catch a Mariner's Game at T-Mobile Park -- they're playing at home Thursday 9/3 and Friday 9/4 if you get here early!7. Ballard Brewery Crawl -- there are 10+ breweries here, our favorites are Stoup and Urban Family Brewing Co.!8. Ballard Locks -- peak viewing of salmon migration happens in August and September!9. Swimming or kayaking in Lake Washington -- we love setting up a picnic near the water in Magnusson Park Swimming Beach and wading in the water from there.10. Visit a museum -- our favorites are Seattle Art Museum (SAM), Museum of Pop Culture (MOPOP) or Museum of Flight.11. Go to a Farmer's Market! There are Farmer's Markets every day of the week, our favorite is the Ballard one on Sunday mornings!12. Gasworks Park -- great place to watch a sunset or have a picnic!
