Saltys on Alki Beach has gorgeous views and amazing food. The waiter was a good sense of humor and brought me milk with my cake at my request.

What are the best things to do in Seattle?

We saw plenty during our trip so it's hard to pick! The Bloedel Reserve is a must for an moderate hike. The ferry to Bainbridge Island and the many small shops on the island are worth a trip. Be sure to visit Mora Creamery and try any of the signature flavors. Also troll under the bridge and nearby Gas Works park.

BRAD's Travel Tips for Seattle

What is the best tip for a friends' getaway in Seattle?

Seattle is SO CLOSE to some amazing landscapes and nature! A trip to Seattle is always going to put you just a quick drive away from great outdoor spots that have you out on the water or in the woods or on mountains. One of Seattle's greatest features is the close proximity to awesome outdoors, so get out there if you can!

BRAD's Travel Tips for Seattle

What are the best places to eat and drink in Seattle?

Even after so many years, Matt's in the Market continues to be my favorite spot to eat at Pike Place Market. Their huge factory windows that look out into the market cannot be beat for the charm and atmosphere of a good sit down meal.

What are the best things to do in Seattle?

Savor Seattle offers awesome food tours of Pike Place that makes for a great way to see (and eat!) at multiple stops in the market if you're short on time or just want to make a quick visit count as much as possible.

Elizabeth's Travel Tips for Seattle

What are the best places to eat and drink in Seattle?

How can you just pick one restaurant in Seattle. First of all, you can't get a bad cup of coffee. We like to start the day at Macrina Bakery or Top Pot Doughnuts downtown to fuel up for the day. Our favorite lunch is Salumi in Pioneer Square for the most delicious and unique cured meat sandwiches. For dinner, we head to Ivar's Fish Bar down by Elliott Bay, when the sun goes down, you get an amazing sunset view with the Olympic Mountains.

What is the best tip for travelling with kids to Seattle?

The Klondike Gold Rush museum in Pioneer Square is free. They have exhibits for adults and kids that give you a first hand experience of what it would have been like to leave Seattle on a prospecting trip!

Wandering around the market and waterfront in the early morning or just after it rains.

Don't be afraid of a little rain, Seattle gets less rainfall each year than Florida and it usually comes down as mist!

Pike Place Market is a MUST! From the food shops (Piroshky Piroshky proved to be a personal favorite), to the great brunch spots (Bacco Cafe), to the original Starbucks, to the ocean views, and the wonderful little bars (Zig Zag Cafe), it’s truly a wonderful little piece of Seattle you cannot miss!

Miranda's Travel Tips for Seattle

What is your best overall travel tip for Seattle?

Wear good walking shoes and explore as much as possible by foot! Walking is the best way to see and FEEL the vibe of a city; and in Seattle there are so many amazing restaurants and cocktail bars, you won't feel so guilty about enjoying them after you've spent the whole day exploring the city on foot!

Consuelo's Travel Tips for Seattle

What is your best overall travel tip for Seattle?

At Alki beach- we discovered Lime cars and bikes! Seattle is highly walkable, but if you have more than a few days and want to explore a little further afield, sometimes a car makes sense! Avoid the expense of a rental car and parking- grab a lime when you need it (they are everywhere!), drive to your next stop, park it and go! Wander on and grab another wherever you ramble next!

We ended up eating at Shaker + Spear twice while we were in town, and since we are regular Starbucks drinkers, making the fan pilgrimage to the original Starbucks was a must for us!
