There are a lot of great things to do in Seattle & below is a list of some of our favorites. A lot of them are in or near downtown, so you can easily get to most of them via public transportation if you're staying downtown. Others you'll have to drive to get to. If you have any questions about any of them, let us know!
Near Downtown:
- Aquarium
- Coffee
- Seattle Center - This is the location of the Space Needle, Experience Music Project/Science Fiction Museum (aka Nerd Heaven) and the Science Center. You can get there via the Monorail.
- Ride the Ferry Boats
- Stadium Tours - You can tour Quest Field, the football & soccer stadium, and Safeco Field, the baseball stadium.
- Settle Art Museum (SAM)
- Zoo
- Coffee
- Fremont - This is the neighborhood Mandy lived in when she moved to Seattle.
- Golden Gardens - This is the beach that Korey took Mandy to on their first date.
Futher Away:
- Coffee
- Coffee - This is the restaurant Korey & Mandy get coffee from in every morning.
Doing all of that stuff will probably make you hungry. Here are a couple (OK, quite a few) of our favorite places to eat. All of these are near downtown, if you're looking for recommendations in other areas of town, let us know!
- Icon Grill - This is Mandy's favorite restaurant in Seattle. I love the house salad & the tuna.
- Cutters - This is Mandy's go-to seafood restaurant when people come to visit. It's really good & close to Pike's Place Market. The lavendar martini is good too.
- Palace Kitchen - Our officiant, Tony, and his wife Kathy introduced us to this restaurant. It's open late, so we went after sailing.
- Top Pot Donuts - yummmmmmmmmmmm
- Pho Bac - We love this place. The one in the International district is full of Amazonians around lunch time. Korey gets the Pho Tai & Mandy gets the Bun Cha Gao. It's all good. :-) One catch - it's cash only.
- Elysian Fields Brewery - Korey's a fan of Elysian beer & food; the brewer let him come back and see their brewery once, too.
- Pyramid Brewery - Another good brewery with good food. They also have their root beer & a bunch of other sodas they make on tap.
- Chiso - Lots of good sushi (and cooked food too). They're also open late.
- Mamma's Mexican Kitchen - Pretty decent Mexican, for being this far north of the Mason-Dixon line.
- Salumi - A tiny Italian restaurant owned by Mario Batali's parents. They're only open Tuesday - Friday & a line forms at about 11:30 on pretty days. Korey says the food is really good, but has yet to invite Mandy when he goes. (One time, he called to ask if I wanted to go - when I said I couldn't he said, "Oh good, cuz we're on our way back." Lovely)
- Fresh Bistro - Fresh Bistro is owned by our caterers & has great food. If there are 3 or less in your party, ask for the table overlooking the kitchen.
