life // Seattle getaway

Hi loves!  Tomorrow I am headed for the great state of Washington to visit a dear friend in Seattle. 

Frankly, I'm a little panicked about this trip because I'm leaving behind a lot of work that needs doing.  I'm trying to bang out as much as possible tonight but I keep getting distracted.  It's a specialty of mine; I think it's entirely possible I could have ADD.

Still, I'm excited for Seattle!  I haven't visited in at least seven or eight years and even then, I spent more time in Portland (versus a mere afternoon in Seattle).

This means that I need some suggestions from you for what to do while I'm there!  I won't have a car and I'm not sure how far from the city center I'm staying (I'll be at my friend's house and I think she lives in a nearby suburb, but I'm not positive).  But if there's anything that's a "must-see" or "must-do" (other than Pike Place Market -- I'll be going there for sure!), leave me a comment!

I'm also looking forward to meeting Erika from Rouge & Whimsy -- yay!

Have you been to the Pacific Northwest?  What's your favorite domestic getaway city?

  6. I live in downtown Seattle! It all depends on what you like to do for fun but you could take a short ferry ride to Vashon or Bainbridge Island, visit Capitol Hill for an EXCELLENT night life (Google Knee High Stocking Company if you want to visit a super cool speak-easy that's intentionally hidden in plain view but so worth your time) or if you want good food in a good restaurant any one of Tom Douglas' restaurants is a hit. Tomorrow night I'll be eating at La Carta Oaxaca in Ballard where you will finding some of the most AMAZING mexican food. A short drive to Alki Beach in West Seattle is good for a long stroll and conversations with a view of the city and good eats. I have so many ideas but don't want to take up too much space here but let me know if you need more suggestions! : )
    Have a great time!

  7. I second the comment for Woodinville (although I'm a bit biased since I grew up there). Purple Cafe is amazing too (they are in Woodinville, Bellevue, Kirkland & Seattle).
