16
items My best friend moved to Seattle about 8 years ago, and I've had the priviledge of being able to visit often. She has a Type-A personality and creates a shared spreadsheet to layout itineraries for us every time I book a flight. These itineraries are ...

We’ve made it tradition to enjoy bottomless dumplings (not truly we just order so much that it comes out wave after wave) at the beginning or the end of every single visit.. You order by checking off a list and giving it to your waiter, who brings ou...
Dough Zone
I DREAM about this place. They have the yummiest Mimosa pairings and fresh juice. They have a fresh fruit bar to top your French Toast or pancakes or waffles, and that alone elevates this spot to the highest levels. Not to mention the FRESHLY WHIPPED...
Portage Bay Cafe
We picked up an order to go from here after a long day of paddleboarding, but I will never forget the fried plantains.
Bongos Cafe
Immaculate vibes. Imacculate Ramen! Really loved the ambience here.
Ramen DANBO - Capitol Hill
We get take out from here when I visit. Usually when we are nursing a hangover or two.
Chada Thai | Authentic Thai Restaurant
I'm going to use the word ~vibe~ again. A VIBE. We sat at the bar and ordered delicious drinks and appetizers. They have an INCREDIBLE selection of Whiskys here.

*drool* I'll let the photos speak for themselves.
Hot Cakes Dessert
Highly recommended by my bestie and didn't disappoint. Had very interesting seasonal flavors when I visited!
Salt & Straw
Delicious cocktails here before my birthday dinner!

I've mainly visited Seattle during the late Spring and Summer. Only once in November because my bestie ski's every single weekend after Thanksgiving. Therefore, some of these will only be applicable to summer activities.
My bestie owns a couple of paddle boards so I haven’t had to rent one, but I've included a link to do so here! Paddleboarding has been one of my favorite things we've done when I visit. Lake Union is gorgeous to get a full 360 view of the city and th...
Paddleboarding on Lake Union
Another great paddle boarding spot that was so beautiful. Much different than Lake Union as it’s more laid back. You aren’t fighting with as many currents.
Paddleboarding on Green Lake
I was seriously blown away the first time we came here. We met up with her large group of friends who were gathered around a firepit. This was in the middle of July and the sun still had not set when we left at 9 PM. Magical.
Golden Gardens Park
We randomly ended here on a cold and rainy November day, and we actually learned a lot! There is a small museum and visitor center that showed a film explaining the history behind the construction of the locks. It also had a beautiful small park to w...
Ballard Locks
Had to shout out my besties gym that she coaches at! I've done a class and have gone with her to open gym. This place is super clean, everyone is very nice, and has all of the equipment you'll ever need. I like their “Halo” stations the most.

Businesses I've visited that deserve a place on this list.
Brazillian waxes are painful, but that doesn't mean they can't also be luxurious. Theory has high ceilings, heated beds, mood lighting. All set up to make you as relaxed as possible so your wax hurts less. They also feature some local crafts in the l...
Theory Skin & Wax
During my trip for her wedding, I wanted to get my dress dry cleaned after traveling with it. The place in New Orleans that did alterations on it also stained it which I noticed right after picking it up. They got the stains out and pressed my dress ...
