Travel Info What's the best way to spend 3 days in Seattle, if you want to get the vibe without being too touristy? Travel Tips The other answers are great! But I would also suggest going on the Underground Tour. It's touristy, but it's awesome. You go under the streets and see how Seattle was before they built it on higher ground. It's very cool!! I lived in Seattle for almost 10 years and I've been on the Tour about 4 times. Source(s): http://www.undergroundtour.com/... Other Travel Tips There is a local free weekly paper called The Stranger that lists everything from the arts and movies to local eateries to the calm or heavy and twisted night scene. Check it out: http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/home... Spend some time at Pike Place Market - we all shop there. Find a coffee shop near where you are staying and have coffee there every morning - by the end of your stay you might be "local" enough for your barista to know what you drink every morning! If you are a non-coffee drinker, they'll still be able to offer you tea, chai, hot cocoa etc. Check out the new sculpture garden down by the waterfront. Find out what is happening when you'll be here - lots of festivals, street fairs etc. in the spring and summer. Seattle Center often has something going on. The Stranger is a good place to look. The Seattle times has a section with activities every week also (on Thursdays I think) Take a ferry - you can catch the one downtown over to Bainbridge, get off and walk through downtown Bainbridge for a while and then catch the next ferry back. Browse a bookstore for some finds - 3rd Place Books in Pioneer Square or University Village area are good places to start. Enjoy! !st you have to check out the Pike Place Market, very cool and lots to do, i suggest to get a bite to eat there also like for lunch, when you are done walk out the back down the hill till you get to the Piers, then check out The Ye Olde Curiosity Shop, also down there is a lot of Restaurants. The Seattle Aquarium is also located here......The Science Center is always cool, they have things for kids as well as adults, there are shops around there as well as a year round carnival, Experience Music project is also located here.....If you like shopping go to the U district and check out University Village or try the Ave....if you come during the Folklife Festival you definately have to check it out and it is free Check out the local museums, coffee chops, etc. Go to the Needle. (Even people who live in Seattle go to the Needle, so that's not touristy.) Take a walk downtown and by the waterfront. Pike Place is a good place to start. There is a coffee shop, if you happen to be that way, called the Java Bean. Get one of Uncle Seth's Pink Cookies, if they still have them. (I couldn't begin to tell you where it is but if you happen to pass by, go into it.) Traveling to and living near Seattle. |
