What not to miss in Seattle

Traveling to Seattle for a weekend trip? Don’t miss these activities! Eat your way around Pike Place Market , highly recommend doing a food tour here so you can sample more bites! Go to the Starbucks Reserve Roastery , this is better than the original Starbucks location in Pike Place IMO!
