Sightseeing
If you plan on going to a few of the top Seattle attractions, check out the Seattle CityPass! It gives you admission to the Space Needle, MoPOP, Seattle Aquarium, Woodland Park Zoo, Chihuly Glass Museum, Pacific Science Center, Science Fiction Museum, and a ride on an Argosy cruise ship!
You can't come to Seattle without a trip to Pike Place! It gets super busy in the summer time- go early if you want to avoid crowds. Grab a piroshki, check out the first Starbucks, and admire the flowers!

Alki beach is a very popular destination during good weather and the summertime. There are several restaurants and coffee shops, and a fantastic walking/biking path! It's easy to get to and you can drive or take the water taxi from downtown.

The Ballard locks are hands-down one of the coolest attractions in Seattle. There are thousands of boats in the Seattle area, and many of them use this locks system. It is very close to the house and definitely worth a trip.

Nature
Greenlake is not the top sight to see in Seattle, but it is definitely a great staple for a little fresh air. It's a 3+ mile loop around the lake, and well used by locals.

Belltown is North of Pike Place (on 1st) and it is a cool little area to grab dinner or a drink. My favorite restaurant is Umi Sushi.

Capitol Hill is where all of the action is. It is also where all of the noise is. I love to come to this neighborhood for the cool restaurants, but if you are looking for a night club or a Starbucks Roastery, this is the neighborhood for you!

Рекомендации для путешественников
Не пропустите
Take a trip on a ferry!
There are a bunch of little islands in the Seattle area, and ferries can take you to them in a short amount of time. I recommend going to Bainbridge Island for a quick bite. (You can walk to the tiny downtown from the ferry terminal.)
Что взять с собой
Pack a raincoat in the non-summer months
It's not a coincidence that our landscape is so green.. we get rain! Seattle's weather is pretty mild year-round, but you can definitely count on a little rain during your stay (if it's fall-spring).

Theater/concert tickets!
Seattle hosts incredible performers/shows year-round. If you have a free night on your trip, it is definitely worth looking into the shows that are in town. Great venues to search are the Paramount Theater, 5th Avenue Theater, and Benaroya Hall.

Get a tattoo at the host's shop - Slave to the Needle!
Your hosts own and operate a very well known tattoo shop in Seattle, Slave to the Needle. Should you be in the market for a new tattoo, reach out to them and let them know you're staying at their Airbnb!
