Food Scene

This is an iconic Seattle spot, with a fabulous view of Puget Sound. Get there early to get a table on the deck - but the views are fabulous from the dining room as well. Watch the water birds and the boats coming and going from lake Washington through the locks just around the corner.

Great little cafe with the best hot chocolate EVER. I love the cayenne hot cocoa. They also make their own truffles and assorted chocolate goodies.

Best music venue in Seattle, bar none. Get a ticket and plan to have dinner there - everything comes from the kitchen at Wild Ginger - my favorite restaurant downtown!

Highly recommend this tour underground, through Seattle's sordid (and hilarious!) history. There is also an associated "Paranormal" tour that you can take, only at night. It's Seattle’s most unusual attraction, a humorous stroll through intriguing subterranean storefronts and sidewalks entombed when the city rebuilt on top of itself after the Great Fire of 1889.

The Woodland Park zoo is an award-winning wonder dedicated to preservation/conservation with loads of fascinating animals in natural settings. I buy an annual pass every year. In the summer, catch a Zoo Tunes concert!

The Seattle Aquarium is the ninth largest aquarium in the U.S. by attendance and among the top five paid visitor attractions in the Puget Sound region. The dome room and outdoor otter exhibits are my favorite :) It's also a wonderful waterfront neighborhood to explore!

Sightseeing

The locks that raise boats passing between the Lake Washington water level and the level of Puget Sound is a fascinating scene, and there's a fish ladder to see also! Don't miss the climbing wall around the corner near Taco Time!

The UW campus is beautiful and park-like with gorgeous architectural sights and - I especially recommend - visiting the Reading Room in Suzzallo Library, if you want to see a local version of the Great Hall in Harry Potter :)

Walk on the ferry to Bainbridge island and explore the little town of Winslow, which you can walk to from the ferry landing. Then walk on the ferry again to return, and keep an eye out for orcas on the way!
