Things to do in: Seattle 💧💧

I love travel 🧳✈️ Sadly I never have very much time to spend on a trip. My most recent trip was back to Seattle for a short 2 day trip just to chill and enjoy someplace different.

Here are a few places that I love in Seattle that you should add to your next trip to the Pacific Northwest🗻🐟💧

Location: Seattle Space Needle Seattle is such a beautiful city to live in. I’ve been living in Seattle for five years already and sadly it was time to go home. Before going home, my sister and I decided to tour the city and we bought the city pass. We took in everything before we left.

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!
