Trip to Seattle

We've lived in Tacoma a while now and just haven't took the trip to Seattle till last weekend. It was so fun watching Braylon look around. He seemed so intrigued the whole time. There were so many shops and restaurants I wasn't even sure where to go. Next time, I want to have a game plan for our Seattle trips. What are you favorite places to visit when in Seattle? Favorite restaurants? #travelrecommendations #storytime #lemon8contest #seattle #lemon8challenge

what you can’t miss near seattle
Yes, Seattle the city is wonderful and worth your time to explore, but IMO you can’t visit the pacific northwest without exploring some of the outdoors! These are all easy options that are close to Seattle - some you can even do in just a couple of hours 👀 📍Rattlesnake Ledge Rattlesnake Ridge
