Seattle Trip Suggestions

Weather will be a crap shoot. Maybe beautiful or still in foggy mode. I did this last May. Mariners game. We took the ferry over to Bainbridge Island. Didnt have enough time for the outdoors type stuff tho.

If you have time, drive up to Vancouver for a day.

My favorite day there last summer we did Wallace Falls and then ate at Vick's Burger Shack in Sultan. So good.

I've done a walking food tour of Pike Place Market that was a lot of fun.

Would prefer good beer as we'll likely not be in this area again for quite some time.

If downtown check out Radiator Whiskey in the Market at night... Nest on top of the Thompson Hotel for happy hour. It's expensive as shite but but has a cool view. Usually ladies up there as well. At 2nd Ave and Bell St there's a bunch of weird bars that are worth checking out. Shorty's, Rabbit Hole, Rob Roy, etc. Buckley's is a normal sports bar across the street from the others. Some Random Bar on 1st has a good whiskey selection. Bathtub Gin is a pretty cool speakeasy with a door in the alley at Blanchard between 1st and 2nd.

If in Ballard check out Percy & Co and King's Hardware for going out. Both are usually solid with plenty of normal people. Skal Beer Hall is new and pretty cool. Also couple of good breweries for day drinking over there. NW Peaks, Lauganitas, and Peddler all right next to each other. Also a bunch across 15th that are walkable. Reubens, Lucky Envelope, Obec, Stoup, Trailbend, Popluxe, Hales Ales, and a couple more.

Fremont is next to Ballard and has a some good bars. Brouwers, Triangle, Outlander. Ballroom is ok..might be younger crowd.

I don't go over to Cap Hill often but it's always packed on the weekends. Captain Black's and La Cocina Oaxaquena both have cool outdoor seating for day drinking. Rhein House is usually pretty packed at night. Unicorn if you want to take acid and go to the bar. Also lots of gay bars over there if you're into that.

Go to Quality Athletics, Elysian Fields, or Pyramid Brewing before games. All are down by the T-Mobile Park.

If eating downtown check out Local 360, Serious Pie, Shiro's Sushi, and Chan for cheaper meals. Go to Metropolitan, Sushi Kashiba, or Matt's in the Market if y'all are ballers.

if you're looking for more than nightlife, there's some great outdoors worth exploring not far from seattle. Olympic National Park is awesome. if you head the other direction, the Cascades are gorgeous with glacier lakes, hiking, whitewater rafting(not sure how May is for rafting).

The pop museum and the glass exhibit are worth a stop and it's all right there close to the Pike market.

Fremont Brewing.
Chuck’s Hop Shop for to go beers.
Rock Creek Seafood.
Central Smoke Bar and Smokery.
Ivar’s Salmon House.
Portage Bay for breakfast/brunch.
Food tour of Pike Place Market.

Went in September for the Saints game. These are a few of the places we went that I would recommend.

Surprised no one suggested The Museum of Flight. If you like airplanes in a Smithsonian type setting, maybe even better, then this is your place.

If near Portland then go to Multnomah Falls.
