Seattle Travel Guide

📸World City | The city obsessed with love | Seattle. 🌈Seattle is the largest city on the Pacific coast of the northwest United States, located on a narrow strip of land between Puget Sound and Lake Washington in Washington state! ⛰️Its geographical location is unique, serving as a gateway from the United States to Asia and Alaska, and boasting excellent seaports. 🚏In the eyes of literati, Seattle is quiet, as if it were a small town nestled in the northwest corner of the United States, never deliberately pursuing prosperity! 🌟But his broad-mindedness is admirable. In the blue sky and sea, there are indelible Native American totems and the aroma of coffee in the air. This is Seattle. ✅Best travel time⏰ 🔜June-August every year 🔺Now that the rainy season has passed, sunny Seattle is very beautiful. 📸Seattle Tourist Attraction Route Recommendation Guide👇 ⛰️Seattle is surrounded by green mountains and rivers all year round, and the famous 🏔️Mount Rainier is not far to the south. 🌟Seattle's official nickname is "Emerald City". 📸Space Needle 🔺It was built for the 1962 World's Fair in the 21st century, and the surrounding fairgrounds were relocated to the Seattle Center. 🔜📸Here, the lively 🎡Pike Place Market, the stunning 🏞️Central Library, the vast 🛳️lake and more make Seattle even more unique. ✅If you want to understand this place, please slow down and wander with your heart in this moist and leisurely romantic city. ⚠️Safety precautions⚠️ ‼️It's best not to go out alone at night, and don't leave valuables in the car. ‼️If encountering poor people asking for cash, give some to avoid unnecessary trouble. ‼️When playing at the beach, the sea water is usually clean, but after a heavy rain, pollutants that have accumulated for a long time will flow into the sea with the rainwater. Be aware of this situation‼️‼️‼️

Seattle's Space Needle, Spheres & Street Food

Seattle is definitely a quieter side of America but there are still attractions to be seen and explore. One example not to be missed is the Seattle space needle. It is an observation deck which you can go up and treat yourself to the amazing view of Seattle. On top, there is also a rotating restaurant. Next, one can visit the Seattle's spheres, which is also the amazon sphere. There are tours within the spheres which you can sign up for free and I heard reservations gets snapped up easily so book early if you can. Do not forget to visit the Seattle's great ferries wheel too. You can get cheap street food in Seattle, my tacos were yummy and cheap for only 2.90USD. If you can, do also try Beecher's handmade cheese. They are an artisanal cheese maker and their Mac & cheese was so delicious. #celebratewithtrip #tripblazers #mytripvlog #urbanexplorer #foodie #awesomepic #passionpassport #bucketlistreboot #seattle

Seattle - USA: The Museum of Flight is the largest independent, non-profit air and space museum in the world. There are some air and space collections and they aim to become the foremost educational air and space museum. This is also a good place for family with children. 🛩✈️🚀

Seattle Woodland Park Zoo Woodland Park Zoo Zoo is a relatively famous zoo in the northwestern United States, not far from the Seattle downtown, driving distance of 15 minutes is enough. There are also many kinds of animals inside, and many local parents come to play with their babies, which is very popular among locals. Address: 5500 Phinney Ave N

Two must-see attractions in Seattle, Kerry Park and Pike Market. I went to a city, I like to go to the heights, and I like to go to the market. On the high side, you can overlook the panoramic view of the city, while in the market, you can feel the fireworks on earth. Many people choose the highest building space needle in the city at the Ascend in Seattle, but I recommend Kerry Park, which is a little further from the city, because the space needle itself can be seen here. When the weather is fine, the snow-capped mountains behind the city are also clearly visible. The Pike Market is not just a market, but a popular tourist destination in Seattle. Hyun Bin and Tang Weis "Late Autumn" once took a picture here. The market is full of colorful, large and small stalls displaying flowers, cheese, seafood, fruits and vegetables, second-hand accessories and tourist souvenirs, from time to time to see street performers. Most notably, the world's first Starbucks is also here. I went very early on the day, the flower sellers just transported the flowers and placed them on the side of the road. The water drops on the petals shimmered like pearls under the bright sun, walking here. In a good mood, the exhaustion and time difference of long-distance flight disappeared without a trace. Walking along, inadvertently went to the door of the world's first Starbucks, with a mottled plate "1912" at the door. Go in and order a cup of caramel latte and buy a bag of coffee beans that are said to be available only in this world. There are no seats in the store, some people havetily took away the coffee, and some people stand by the window and chat while chatting. There is a disabled person at the door who sings and sings my favorite old man.

On the way from San Francisco to Los Angeles, there is an unconventional and very low-key town. The town is famous for its wines, and there is also a local open-air restaurant from the farm to the table, using locally grown vegetables and fruits. This town is one of the oldest towns in California. It was discovered and built by the Spanish in 1772, so it is also a rare Spanish town on the west coast of the United States. The small pocket of the town, the stream flows through the town, does not need to use the map, all the way to slow down, Spanish-style architecture is simple yet unique, it is eye-catching. The square in front of the church will be especially lively on holidays, bringing together various market events. If you want to get to know the local area, there are also various types of museums to visit, from children's museums, art galleries, historical museums to historical monuments. If you have time, you may wish to slow down and visit. Of course, the church in the town center can't be missed. The Grizzly statue in front of the mission station is also very California. There is also a free concert on Friday night. The bubble gum alley in the town is also the signature attraction of the town. You can directly search for this attraction on the map. As soon as you come to the alley, a variety of fruit flavors will come out. It is a characteristic street, and it is glued. Various types of chewing gum.

United States • Seattle • Pike Place Market

🌟 It is often said that if you want to understand the life of a place, go check out their market. Pike Place has always been considered the most vibrant embodiment of Seattle life. 🌟 Wandering through every corner of Pike Place Market, you can see buckets of fresh flowers, fresh seafood and fruits and vegetables, handmade cheeses, local honey, wines, restaurants with flavors from around the world, imported goods, antiques, and collectibles. Interesting little items and DIY fun stuff make this place not only a favorite among tourists, but also very popular with Seattle locals who love to come here to shop and treasure hunt, and you can basically spend a whole day here without getting bored. 🌟 The romance of Seattle is more vibrant than I imagined, in this city filled with freedom in the air, every minute is comfortable and cozy.

Seattle weekend one-day city walk

Seattle is one of my favorite cities, where it feels like being in a movie wherever I go. Seattle, you can truly enjoy close contact with nature and your soul can really relax. Walking slowly along the streets, you can always catch sight of Mount Rainier. 📍Pike Place Market Pike is considered the place with the strongest sense of life in Seattle. You can see fresh flowers, fresh seafood and fruits and vegetables, handmade cheese, local honey, wine, restaurants with flavors from various countries, imported goods, antiques, and collectibles everywhere. There are also DIY fun stuff, not only tourists love to wander here, locals also love to come here to hunt for treasures. ☕️The very first Starbucks in the world! It's really too famous, and although the store is small, it's always in a state of queue. It still retains the original logo from the time of its creation—the twin-tailed mermaid Seattle, a city filled with a sense of freedom in the air, every minute is comfortable and pleasant.

Pike Place Fish Market & More

Just like Tsujiki fish market that is famous in Japan Tokyo, in Seattle there is the Pike Place fish market. This market is an open air fish market that has been opened for decades. What is interesting about this place or rather what people come here for is to catch a glimpse of stall employees playfully throwing fish around the market. The seafood sold there are fresh and everything looks good! Nearby, you would also be able to Miners landing and the great wheel of Seattle. Miners landing is a place where you can have fun at exciting attractions such as the carousel and sea tours. You also find famous restaurants like The Crab Pot at Miners landing too. #celebratewithtrip #tripblazers #seattle

Famous Pike's Place Market

When one go to Seattle, a trip is not complete without the famous Pike's Place. Pike's Place Market is located at the main entrance of the covered market area(which helps to cover you from the cold winter days), and is famous for its crowd pleasing antics with fish mongers showing of their daily catches. This is also known to be a foodie heaven with more than 30 restaurants ranging from grab and go delis to fine dinings. There is definitely something for everyone, satisfying everbody's tastebuds. One of the oldest restaurants here is the Athenian Seafood Restaurant and bar from 1993 located right on the waterfront. First time visitors may think the market is just what theyt see of the street, but below the street-level stalls is a whole other world of curious shops specializing in vintage finds, collectibles and even magic tricks. If you have couple hours to spare, its a great place to get creatively lost. #pikesplace #market #foodie #foodieheaven #instafood #seattle #touristattractions #attractions #foodielover #instafood #famous #food #restaurants #waterfront #landmark #downtownseattle #cafe #amazing #unique #experience

Rainier semi-unveiled

Attraction: People say if you can only do 1 hike for Mount Rainier, you should do the Skyline trail. I have to say it did not disappoint. I’ve been to lots of places, 3 times in Switzerland. Skyline is comparable, especially with the fall color palettes. Gorgeous. At Panorama Point it was slushy, need poles and waterproof boots. Gaitors recommended. Do not at weekends cuz this trail is too popular. I went on a Wednesday, sunny on the way up but couldn’t see anything when I reached the top. Well it is what it is for high altitude weather — unpredictable. On the way down during sunset the fog dispersed and Rainier came out— absolutely breathtaking. #Pnw #Seattle #hiking #Rainier #Mountrainier Getting there: 2-2.5 hrs east drive. Visitor center is closed but restrooms are open. No shops no restaurants this season. Go to Reflection Lake on the way up!

Mount Rainier National Park

Looking for a great view in Washington? I would highly recommend Mount Rainier National Park. Setting the backdrop for the bustling city below, Mount Rainier sits imposingly on the horizon. It calls to all those seeking the challenge of the climb, the solitude of the woods, the escape from streets and roads. One of the most visited national parks, Mount Rainier is the most prominent peak in the Cascade Range. #CampingGlamping

👣 Visit Mt Rainier National Park

#gohiking Mount Rainier is an iconic volcano in Washington State that is the tallest peak in the Cascade Range. It's surrounded by snowy glaciers and alpine meadows, a great place to visit for adventurers and nature enthusiasts. There are several hiking trails here that offer breathtaking views of wildflower-strewn slopes and icy peaks. During the winter, locals come here to skii and snowboard. It's a majestic natural wonder filled with diverse ecosystems.

Alice in Wonderland enjoyed the autumn scenery at Mount Rainier

On Saturday, 9.30, we went to Mt Rainier and only walked 1.5 miles, but the scenery before us was so captivating that we simply couldn't bear to turn back! It felt like we had fallen into a fairy tale book. Unfortunately, we started off in the wrong place because our navigation was incorrect. Sisters, if you're going, make sure not to navigate directly to 'Rainier' or 'visitor center', as they won't let you in!! We got to the entrance and the ticket seller told us to go to the other side of the mountain, 'Paradise'. We were completely confused, and it took another hour to get there! Luckily, we set off quite early that day. After parking the car and grabbing a quick bite, we started our hike up the mountain. The scenery along the way was breathtaking, and the first part of the skyline trail was very easy to walk, even with a stroller, making it elderly and child friendly. After Myrtle Falls, the trail becomes a bit more difficult. I must say, it's best to go up the mountain early. When we were heading back, fog had already set in on the mountain, and it was just after 2 PM. The temperature had also dropped quickly, and we couldn't see much of the scenery anymore

University of Washington

🔹 Commonly known as UW, the University of Washington is located in Seattle. To distinguish it from the other three campuses of the University of Washington, the one in Seattle is usually referred to as the University of Washington Seattle Campus. The University of Washington 🎊 was founded in 1861 and is a world-renowned top-tier university. It is one of the top ten research universities in the United States and the oldest university on the West Coast 🏫. The University of Washington is as prestigious as Pennsylvania State University and the University of Michigan, and is known as a public Ivy League 📣. 🔹 Surrounding Environment Seattle, as one of the top ten most livable cities in the United States 🏙, exudes a romantic and comfortable atmosphere amidst the occasional drizzle. 🤤 Seattle has a comfortable climate, with snowy mountains 🏔️ and the sea 🌊, surrounded by many forest parks 🌳 where you can visit, making it a city suitable for living and playing. During weekends or short holidays, you can go to art galleries, ski, or take a short trip to the nearby Portland for shopping 🥳. The campus buildings are mostly Gothic, very retro and elegant. The cherry blossoms during the cherry blossom season are truly beautiful when paired with the school's architecture. 🤩 As a diverse city, in Seattle, you can taste food from various countries 🥩🥑🥞🍨.

A hazy drizzle descended on our last day in Seattle. Dry days are few and far between in this city. As pedestrians leisurely stroll through the streets in the rain, only a few carry umbrellas. I'm amazed that they can be so used to the sometimes light, sometimes heavy raindrops on their shoulders. It's a wonder that so much rain doesn't dampen their spirits!

The university series of others - Washington University This university has no gates and no walls, all free of charge. I like the feeling of autumn. I can feel the deep autumn in the university. I didnt go far and was attracted by the lawn covered with red leaves. Of course, many people recommend spring to the University of Washington to see cherry blossoms. The streets near the central square are covered with blooming cherry trees. I dont think I can miss the autumn leaves to enjoy the red leaves. The green lawn is covered with red leaves, and the whole campus is filled with comfort and vitality. I want to go back to the student days and enjoy campus life! Most of the buildings at University of Washington are dominated by Gothic style, with a distinct red-brick blue-green roof. The most memorable thing about this university is the library. The typical Gothic architecture, the doorposts and window frames are engraved with delicate patterns, and the quietest reading room on the second floor of the interior is incomparably spectacular. Still beautiful stained glass, high hanging lights, I thought it was the lobby of Hogwarts Castle. Most areas of the library are free to visit, but they must be kept quiet. The students in the library are filled with self-study students. When I visit, I will find many Asian faces.
