Our 1st Time In Seattle - Visiting The Space Needle, Pike Place Market & The Original Starbucks 

Oh no, we would have loved to have seen it

Thanks so much for the tip 😁

If you see Mt. Rainier also try to check out Mt. St. Helens

Also on the waterfront is Wings over Washington.

Thanks so much, appreciate the nice comment 👍

Thanks John we really appreciate it

Thanks Sara, and haha could just eat that chicken on a stick right now 😋

@@OneCouplesAdventure I don't blame you! 😂

I'm a huge SBUX fan... have been for 25 years. However, I don't drink coffee, so I have no opinion on that haha. I live right in Seattle and I love that folks that visit always want to go to the roastery (or the HQ bakery). I draw the line at standing in the queue for the "original" SBUX. I'll wait at the market while they queue up.

A lot of ppl still seem to love Starbucks, I personally would rather a small locally owned one.

We'd love to visit there one day

Thanks so much really appreciate you saying that

Thanks so much, appreciate it and glad you found us 😁

Oops sorry 😆

Thanks so much MaryAnn, hope you're well?

Thanks so much

Thanks so much Vik that's really nice of you to say

Thanks so much for Watching, we loved Seattle!

Thanks so much Ann, hope you and your lovely family have an amazing time on the Virtuosa

Thanks so much

People always like to point this out... but it's still technically the first store... just not the original location. When I worked in retail back in the day (REI), our store moved to a whole different city... but we were still the same store (same number, same crew, etc.). So the SBUX is still Store #1.

Hi Briana 👋 thanks for the lovely comment and we loved Canada and definitely want to go back and explore more. Montreal looks amazing 😁. Not long till your cruise now 😍

Thanks so much Neil and haha you're close we're from Stoke On Trent

@@OneCouplesAdventure My family centuries ago came from Severn Stoke, down near Worcester. Been in America since 1683, however.

Thanks so much Kirsty and no haha we're running out of space now. Will be throwing our microwave and toaster away next make room 🤣

Hi thanks so much and you've got some very exciting plans to look forward to 😁

Thanks Katie and any questions about the trip that will help you out with a decision just ask us anytime 😊

Haha that chicken on a stick. Oh my it really was delicious 😋 😍

Thanks so much and if we were there another day we would of definitely gone Bainbridge Island for the day, heard its meant to be beautiful

Thanks so much Julie for the lovely comment 😊

Thanks so much and they are a nice thing to collect aren't they? 😁

@@OneCouplesAdventure yes my husband has loads as we have travelled quite a lot ! We also collect Christmas baubles from everywhere we go too and have a tree we call a memory tree at Christmas x

Thanks so much and wow how exciting for you, some amazing things you've got to look forward to 😁

Thanks so much Kerry

Thanks so much, appreciate the lovely comment

Thanks Karen, glad you enjoyed your Alaska cruise too. And 2 weeks wow 😁. And yes lol I'm sure we'll cross paths cruising at some point

Thanks so much and the next video we have going out might be useful for you then as we explain how we booked it all and how much it all cost

Haha yes we had a few games of that

Oooo it was lol 😋

Thanks so much Wendy

It was amazing lol

Thanks Gary 👍

Thanks so much Mick

Thanks we loved Seattle

@@OneCouplesAdventure let me know if y’all ever come back. Would love to do a collaboration video

Yes mostly drink the diet. The full fat is a nice treat, lol 😆 and yeah you're right it doesn't taste too bad at all for diet, it's tasty 😋

Hi we have a video coming out later explaining how we booked it and how much it all cost. And yes probably our favourite ship and itinerary so far but have enjoyed all the others too 😊

Hi hope you have a great time when you go and yes it was a good hotel, we stayed 2 nights but it was within walking distance of the places we visited and it did seem to have plenty of places to eat near there too

@OneCouplesAdventure That's great, thank you for replying. It's great to hear, we are staying 5 nights so I'm looking forward to exploring seattle and the area around the hotel. I think pike place will be a first stop for some food for tea after we have checked in :)

😋

I would disagree. MOPOP is fun and entertaining, but the Space Needle is iconic Seattle.

Hahaha, that's very true

Hi thanks so much and yes that's something we could look at doing if people are interested

Sadly, this is advertised as the first, but Starbucks closed the first. Then saw the value of honoring the first location. They opened in a new location and called it the first. Sorry.

It's definitely worth it, it's so beautiful 😍

Thanks so much Crewies 😁

Hi we had 2 days including the day we got off the ship but we would of probably liked a third day just to see a bit more. 2 days was better than nothing though 😁

Brill thank you I’m just planning a California road trip that includes Seattle

As someone who lived in the city for 14 years, it depends on what you like. But at least ONE day (from 8am to 6pm) needs to be marked for Pike Place market. Two if you are a foodie or like funky merch. (Marketspice tea is a must, as is Pure Foods Fish Market - not the guys who throw the fish, but the place down the road with really good salmon jerky) That place is HUGE, bigger than it looks. Space Needle is a tourist trap, but the Science Center is all kinda of fun and the Center always has some kind of festival going on in summer. Woodland Park Zoo and the Aquarium are fantastic, but on opposite sides of town. West Seattle has some fantastic ice cream (Luna Park and Husky Deli) and great parks. Capitol Hill is where you can find the fun nightlife, especially during June (Pride Month), and you can get some fresh hot Dicks on Capitol Hill in the form of cheap greasy burgers. International District is just AMAZING architecture, history, unique shops, food, and drink Heck, if you like a certain Malckmore and Lewis song, hit up the shooting locations; the Goodwill Bins on 6th (it's a sketchy neighborhood, though. Don't flash valuables. The Lifelong AIDS alliance on Capitol Hill, and the Fremont Mercantile. (The Cap Hill Value Village closed - gentrification). Waterfront has pretty much recovered from the construction. Ivars Fish bar is iconic cheap eats and the view from the ferry is fantastic. Bainbridge Island will have nifty art, wine, small produce stalls. Bremerton is soaked in naval history, especially its peak in WW2. (Hell, if Kitsap split from the US, they'd be the third biggest nuclear power on their own because of the sheer Navy presence). Take busses or light rail. the city was designed by three people who hated one another and the layout is crap. There are all kinds of phone apps that will help. Leave the driving to people paid to deal with the aggravation.

Believe me, it's wonderful compared to the absolute dive where we live!

@OneCouplesAdventure It's sad to hear and see.

Haha yes definitely agree 👍 😄

Thanks so much and hope you have an amazing cruise
