In June, I took a quick weekend trip to Seattle to reunite with old friends and slowly cross off destinations from my #westcoastbestcoast travel destinations. I didn’t have enough time to do everything on my list, but I was immediately wowed by Seattle’s striking beauty. Everywhere you look, majestic skylines and mountaintops take your breath away. Below are a few photos and highlights from the trip!
- Little Si – Neighboring Mount Si, this small rocky bluff is perfect for a quick hike if you don’t have enough time to tackle Mount Si or the famous Mount Rainier.
- Pike Place Market – Seattle’s original farmers market and a popular tourist destination, a walk around Pike Place promises fresh produce, seafood galore, and lots of coffee!
- Gas Works Park – One of my favorite parts of the weekend was lounging about Gas Works park with friends and watching the sunset over Seattle. I highly recommend a picnic in the park!
- Seattle Pride – Not only did we visit the same weekend as Seattle Pride, but the weather was sunny and perfect for the celebration! It was so much fun to explore the streets of Seattle while also celebrating love and acceptance.
I now understand why Seattle is so popular, and I hope I have the chance to visit again. Comment with your own top Seattle destinations!
