Take a day trip to Ballard …it is north of downtown…worth a ride share…and visit the Scandinavian museum. Remember, we were once a fishing village. It is imaginative and off the beaten path.
Ferry ride from Seattle to Bremerton, go from Bremerton to Port Townsend and visit the haunted hotel. Go to Pike Place ( or as non locals call it Pike Place Market ) check out the very first Starbucks and the Athenian where Tom Hanks sat ( you can to ) and eat in the movie sleepless in Seattle, go to MoPop ( museum of pop culture ), see Bruce Lee and Brandon Lee graves and of course go to Seattle center, go to the space needle and the great wheel. Food check out Italian family pizza ( literally huge pizzas 42 inch and bigger ), Memos, Dicks drive in and Ezells famous chicken… oh and one of only a few Starbucks reserves.
As a 3rd generation Seattle native, I would skip the Argosy tour and pay 9.50 for a round trip ferry ride to Bainbridge Island. My wife and I make it a picnic date. We grab goodies to eat from the PP Market, a bottle of wine and there you have it. The village of Winslow is awesome with lots of cute shops and great places to eat. And if you time it right the Olympic Mountain sunset from the ferry will bring tears to your eyes. You can thank me later.
The Seattle Aquarium is a nice place to visit. Learn about the marine life in Puget Sound. We have octopus, purple sea stars, urchins, and moon jellyfish. There is more different fish too. 🐟 It's located on the waterfront near the ferris wheel.
Nice informative tour. Hope to visit Seatle soon . Since we'll be travelling from India to Vancouver to meet our son whose studying there. Thanks a ton.👍
September seems like a nice time to visit Seattle. Your video has a lot of good tips. Great title on this video. Pikes Place. Seattle Waterfront. The water views! Wilmot’s Ghost looks fun! Museum of Flight. Thank you for sharing.🤗
Awesome guide! I love how you captured the vibe of the city so well. Curious to know-what's everyone’s go-to Seattle food spot? I’m always looking for new recommendations!
We did it a few times! It was nice to be out on the Sound and get the view of the skyline. The area near the ferry dock on the Bainbridge side is very cute
Great video, I'm hoping to travel over from the uk next year for my 40th birthday and have been planning on doing seattle philly and NYC over a 17night trip, I've been looking at starting with 5nights in seattle so this is great to get an idea of what I can go over those days.
@ChromeBone thank you, since posting this I have infact booked my trip :) starting in seattle for 5nights, internal flight to philly for 6nights then train to NYC for 5 nights :)
very beautiful and interesting city! I hope that I will see him with my own eyes after the war...thank you very much for the video! good luck to you and good mood! best regards from Ukraine💙💛
We did not rent a car. We took the light rail from the airport to the city and either used Uber or walked from place to place. The monorail is also a fun way to get to the Space Needle area.
Awesome video!!! My boyfriend and I are planning to go to seattle Washington for upcoming october. Quick question, what is your best suggestion for transportation to go around seattle? We thinking of renting a car at the airport for the week is rhat a good idea? Thank you
Hope you enjoy your trip! We decided to not rent a car, and instead rely on public transit and Ubers. We were able to walk-on the ferry to Bainbridge Island and take the train from the airport to downtown and to some of the neighborhoods like Capitol Hill. The monorail will also take you over to the Space Needle from downtown. It is also walkable, despite some hills. The rental car would be good if you're planning to venture out to the suburbs, but the cost and effort to find parking etc made it seem unreasonable to have a car downtown.
Did you happen to get to WestSeattle? It is a nice place to visit. I prefer getting there via ferry. From the ferry and Alki Beach are some nice views of Seattle. West Seattle also has a decent food scene.
@@travelingtipps I live in Seattle and I always have to remember to put I before the number. I grew up in Colorado and we just say "25" or "70" when referring to I-25/I-70, etc. Then I spent my early adult years in California and got used to saying "the 5" "the 91" etc. Since both interstate 5 and 405 are here in Seattle I often revert and call them the 5 and the 405. Haha!
@@EricaGamet ....you obviously did not live here in the 60's, 70's or 80's! Today it is being run into the ground by Progressive Liberal's who really don't know anything about ..... anything!
@@CdA_Native I did not live there then... but I live here now... in the present, not looking back wistfully at what used to be. I see that you live in a black and white version of everything being progressive/liberal or not. I'm definitely a lefty, but I also see that our city council isn't really delivering on many promises, regardless of which side of the aisle those policies come from. It's a great city, but maybe not for hard line conservative or right-wing folks... but then most cities are more liberal... they have to be to serve the broad spectrum of folks that live there. We see each other's differences and needs and share a lot of our living space (parks, transit, tourist attractions) and interact with each other more often. Cities are about people and to make that work you have to care about them. All of them. I hope our City Council will do better in the future... and I feel like we are inching our way there... hoping the new mayor comes through soon, too.
In the summer, the latest official sunset is about 9:15pm... but it can often seem light until 10pm or so. In the winter, it sets around 4:15pm... but the overcast or rainy weather can make it seem like it sets at 2pm!
I live in Washington State, here's an UPDATE: ALL taxes are way too high; gas prices are the highest in the country; this a progressive/communist state and therefore crime is out of control, cost of living is very high, shootings everyday in King, Pierce, Thurston, etc. counties and elsewhere; road rage is a daily event. Washington State is a lumber capital yet the cost of home construction is out of reach for most residents. Competition for 'living-wage' jobs is extremely high so expect to wait at least 6 months (or as long as 18 months +) to land that job. Traffic is horrendous 24/7 due to the number of people who have moved here. High population has drove up prices on everything and lowered the standard of living for all Washington State residents. Example: a run-down shack of a home goes for $450,000 or more!!! Which is why the homeless population has grown exponentially over the last few years. Developers and politicians are destroying the natural beauty and displacing the wild life of Washington State in order to build large apartment complexes with no end in site...it's heartbreaking!!! DON'T MOVE TO WASHINGTON STATE!!!! We do not need anymore population growth!
As a 5th gen Seattle native, and as things are now, the best three days spent, are while not being here. It is literally the bleached butthole of the NW.
Lived there for two years…. Homelessness is generational. Encampments are all over, including under highway overpasses. Public urination and deification in public is a “norm”.. Pet waste is also a significant issue….. I lived within walking distance of “the market” in downtown. And experienced All of the above for 24 months.
The information presented in the video is as of September 2021. Always make sure to check fares in advance of your visit as prices do tend to fluctuate over time.
dont bother even going horrible traffic i mean horrible if you insist on going then get there at 8 pm or later and enter city late then go to hotel once in city its better but wow .my opinion.
Do you not like it in the store or do you not like the concept of a penne mac and cheese with a heavy sauce? Homemade is much better, and you can easily swap flagship for cheddar and gruyere, which is probably cheaper.
not being there would be the perfect weekend. That city is lost. The woke progressive policies have turned a once vibrant city into a 3rd world cess-pool of crime, filth, homelessness, drugs, feces, and depression. I moved away in June and it was the best decision I ever made. If you live anywhere near the city, a conceal carry is an absolute requirement for your personal safety.
Totally agree. I was born in that once beautiful city. I've been in Ivars house in Magnolia. I could tell a hundred stories of that city. My first television appearance and radio have been in that city. Even had my picture in Seattle Times. The city now is a woke wreck. Moved out 25 years ago when it was bad.
I'm not sure you visited the Seattle we all live near. Watch the local news (yes we're in the seventh month of cold, rain and low land snow) and see how great a perfect day can't be found. Don't ride the train unless you're used to be accosted by thugs and sitting in filth. The view. (100 years later I stopped laughing) is of filth, homeless and cloudy skies. This place is best seen at 20000 feet from your airline window. There is no newlife just new ideas of how to rob people. Please google crime in Seattle and the Kitsap and you'll see what I mean. There is not enough room here to tell why one should not visit littleless live here. Want to ride a ferry? Well 50 50 your captain won't take out a pier. Most restaurants are trying to reopen after COVID.
You seem to have a really negative/pessimistic view of Seattle (maybe the world in general) and have zero inclination to even try to find the beauty in it. Every single big city has crime and homeless. That’s a guaranteed feature of a big city, especially one thats expensive with the economy we are in. And I’m sure everyone is the USA is well aware of Seattle’s weather when it’s literally called “the rainy city.” Covid shutting down businesses happening all over the entire world so thats nothing new, and incompetent people exist literally everywhere. I’ve definitely seen worse cities and seen countless even worse small towns. Even compared to them, Seattle is beautiful and has so much to offer.
