Seattle Spots!
All the places I love in Seattle and would recommend to anyone who is visiting! Great food and great shops are all over the place but these are my personal faves.
Comes with the City Pass! This is a great spot to see if you’ve never gone before. Glass blowing meets botanical garden and you may even get to see them blowing glass live in the garden!

One of my favorite stationary stores I’ve ever been to! Close to Pike Place Market and definitely worth a stop if you love anything stationary related
MochiThings

Hotel Ändra Seattle - Official Site | Boutique Downtown Hotel
A nice hotel stay! Usually very good pricing, I’d would just say to be prepared to either Uber or use the bus as this is a little bit out of the way of some of the main neighborhoods but still a great place to stay!
