Places I’ve stumbled across, loved, and mentally added to my “I’d come back here again” list.

I’ve stopped here for coffee a few times while in Seattle and honestly loved it enough to bring home two of their mugs.
Pike Place Market - Storyville Coffee
Every time I come here, there's always a line, but it's totally worth it. The staff are super friendly, and they make their bagels right in front of you. Plus, they have tons of cream cheese flavors and coffee. If you're thinking of coming, get here ...
Howdy Bagel
I’ve gone here twice already and it’s such a beautiful spot to walk around and slow down for a bit. The conservatory itself is gorgeous, and the park around it is perfect for walking by the lake, sitting for a picnic, or just getting outside for a wh...
W.W. Seymour Botanical Conservatory
This spot is absolutely gorgeous! I’ve been here a few times for walks and runs on the paved path. It’s a nice little loop with some hills and curved sections, usually around 3 miles, but you can definitely stretch it closer to 5 if you want a longer...
Chambers Bay
Beautiful and peaceful place to camp. My favorite part was waking up and having the ocean as my view every morning. Each site has its own meter and you back your RV into the spot.
The neighbors were quiet and mostly kept to themselves, which I appre...
Pacific Beach State Park
This place is honestly such a hidden gem. If I had driven by it, I probably would've never guessed there was an amazing Italian restaurant tucked inside.
I came here for my birthday and shared a bottle of wine with two friends while trying dishes I ...
Marzano Italian Restaurant
I took my sister here for her birthday, and we ended up having so much fun! You get to pick out a piece of pottery, paint it however you want, and then they glaze and fire it for you to pick up later.
It was such a relaxing way to spend a few hours,...
The Painting Panda Pottery Studio L.L.C.
This is honestly the only salon I've gone back to consistently. After so many disappointing salon experiences, I eventually started cutting my own hair myself. One day I decided I wanted to treat myself so I started looking around and found this plac...
Union Salon
Beautiful place to enjoy a lake day.
I went paddleboarding here for the first time and had such a nice time! The water was surprisingly clean, the scenery was beautiful, and it was such a peaceful place to spend a few hours out on the water. Definite...
Lake Tapps
I found this Mexican restaurant in Tacoma and I'm so glad I tried it! The food felt much more traditional, and there were so many things on the menu I wanted to try.
I ended up getting the surf & turf, and it was delicious. It came loaded with s...
