Pike Place Market

Pike Place Market, Seattle, WA, United States

Seattle's famous market! Eat great food, catch some local street performances, and see the fish fly. We highly recommend getting your mac n'cheese on at Beecher's. You can also visit the first Starbucks, though be prepared for a very long wait.

Hiram M. Chittenden Locks

Watch the boats go up and down between Puget Sound and Lake Union, see the salmon battling their way up the fish ladder, or take a lovely stroll or picnic in the park. This is a great place to spend a sunny day!

Bill Speidel's Underground Tour

608 1st Avenue, Seattle, WA 98104, United States

One of our favorite things to do in the city; the underground tour is located close to Pike Market, in downtown. Its informative and funny and all-around awesome!

Ride the Ducks of Seattle

516 Broad Street, Seattle, WA 98109, United States

Who doesn't want to ride a duck? They go on land, they go on water, there's terrible music, and best of all you get to see the city. We recommend also getting the quacker to really complete the package.

Seattle Center

The Seattle Center is where you will find a lot of Seattle's icons, including the Space Needle and the EMP (Experience Music Project). Its a bit touristy, but can be a lot of fun as well. The Pacific Science Center is also a great place to take the kids.

Its also right across the street from Ride the Ducks!

Seattle Great Wheel

Our very own Ferris wheel on the water. Its great lit up at night and if the day is clear, you'll have magnificent views of the Sound. Its also right on the water with a number of good restaurants, and the Seattle Aquarium near by.

MOHAI

860 Terry Avenue North, Seattle, WA 98109, United States

Meagan's favorite museum. Located right on the South bank of Lake Union, this is a beautiful building rich in local history. Don't miss the best museum exhibit ever on the Seattle Fire--the song is amazing!

If the water is nice, you can also rent a rowboat just next door at the Center for Wooden Boats: http://cwb.org/

Future of Flight Aviation Center & Boeing Tour

8415 Paine Field Boulevard, Mukilteo, WA 98275, United States

Ken's favorite not-quite museum! See the Boeing factory at work and walk the largest building (by volume) in the U.S. Its a bit of a drive up North (30-45 min) but well worth it.

The Outdoors

The Pacific Northwest (what we call the PNW) is insanely beautiful! We've been lucky to call this gorgeous place home for 6 years now and it never ceases to amaze us. if you're in townn for a few days, do yourself a favor and get out of Seattle. Mount Rainer is always a good option (though be prepared for Snow even in June) as is Snoqualmie Falls, and the Olympic Peninsula. Seriously, drive an hour or two in any direction to find yourself in lush rainforests, alpine meadows, glacial lakes, or pacific beach.

Not sure where to start? Talk to us, we'd be happy to recommend several ideas.
