I am still in Seattle a week after I first flew here. Originally I planned to either be in Hawaii or at least Las Vegas by now but that isn’t the way things played out this time.
Last week I flew in late at night, went straight to my hostel and first thing in the morning I headed to Portland, Oregon with Tawny and Chris. On Sunday I finally made it back and have pretty much been loving this city ever since.
I wonder if I had left on Tuesday as planned if I would love it as much as I do now?
My flight is an international flight tomorrow morning at 7:45am. I kind of don’t want to leave, or I want to intentionally miss the flight…
I still have so much to see and do, I didn’t get a chance to see the troll under the Fremont bridge or even explore Fremont for that matter. I haven’t visited Bruce or Brandon Lee’s graves (who knew they were buried here?!), I haven’t eaten everywhere, or made it to the top of the Smith Tower, I haven’t explored Capitol hill or eaten enough Yogurtland (OMG BEST PLACE EVER). I am sure there are a million other things I am missing out on too.
Make your own frozen yogurt at Yogurtland! I chose graham crack cinnamon, dutch chocolate and cookies & cream. And then…
I added all of the unhealthy bits, gummy bears, sprinkles, caramel cups, oreo crumbs galore! I should probably just get a job at Yogurtland I’m so good at it…
Seattle is definitely one of those cities that you visit and it just clicks. It is definitely a city I could live in. However I am sure I say this for every place I visit.
I have done some pretty awesome things though. As you would, I visited the top of the Space Needle and Pike Place Market, I stuck gum on the gum wall (the 2nd top germiest tourist attraction in the world 2nd only to the Blarney stone which I have also visited and kissed.), I took a wicked gourmet food tour, visited the SAM (Seattle Art Museum), road the free buses everywhere, hung out near the mission far too often, had Starbucks and enjoyed their free wifi EVERYWHERE. I rode the ferry to Bremerton and Bainbridge, I wandered and enjoyed some interesting street art, I screamed at the top of my lungs in the scream booth at EMP after being amazed with the Avatar exhibit and their guitar tree and a lot more.
Seattle…. what is up with this interesting street art?
I don’t want to leave. If only it were closer to home.
Seattle, I will be back. I like you.
Have you ever been to Seattle? What would be one of your favourite things to do there?
I just returned from Seattle and I loved that city! I did so many cool things, but my favorite was making a music video at EMP. I almost peed my pants from laughing so hard!

It is such a great city isn’t it?! I was there by myself so I opted out of the Music Video making thing as I thought it might be a little sad to be a band of one…. however it could of been hilarious to try to do all of the instruments at once! hahaha
I went to Seattle a few years ago and I loved it. There was so much to do, but I ran out of time trying to see everything I wanted to (I didn’t even get to Pike Place Market). It’s definitely a city I plan on going back to again.

You didn’t even get to Pike Place Market?! Aside from the Space Needle like is like one of the main things to do! hahahha You definitely need to go back
[...] exploring Seattle and I know I might say this a lot but it truly was an awesome city and one that I fell in love with. Not only because of it’s cool street art and sculptures, the Space Needle, the SAM (Seattle [...]

That looks gooooood!

hahaha thanks Samuel! You definitely have to go back
I just found your blog and thought I’d say hello. I’m from Seattle and it makes me happy to hear that people love my hometown as much (possibly more than) I do.
My favorite things to do when I’m at home are… hm, going to parks, hiking, brewery tours (there are close to 50 microbreweries in the area), eating all the delicious food, and of course being over-caffienated.

Hello Erica! Thanks for the comment. I definitely want to visit and I will have to try more of those microbreweries! The Pike place brewery was so delicious! You are lucky to live there
