Things to do in Seattle

  • Pike Place Market: You can quite literally find anything you are looking to purchase. The amount of fresh produce and fruit is unreal. You have a local fish market! Over 100 vendors with arts/crafts. This place is truly amazing.

  • Throwbacks Northwest: If you’re looking for a place to thrift in Capitol Hill, this is it, especially if you’re a big sports fan. This shop is mostly men’s wear but definitely has a variety for all. They shine when it comes to vintage sports and athletic wear.

  • Late Night Thrift: 25 Vendors! This place is crazy, but so organized. Thousands of vintage tees, hats, Levi’s, shoes, leather and fur! You name it, they got it!

Also check out the trendy Pioneer Square, the iconic Space Needle, and the historic Capitol Hill neighborhood.

  • Muchou Deli: World-class deli right in downtown Seattle. Michou is an award-winning deli located in the heart of Seattle’s historic Pike Place Market. Enjoy breakfast, fresh soups, sandwiches, salads, dips and sweet treats at great prices. Michou is the best deal around.

  • Odd Fellows Café + Bar: If you’re a fan of brunch, this is by far one of the best spots in the Capitol Hill area! Enjoy your food in a beautiful aesthetically pleasing space. They also serve coffee and cocktails here if you’re trying to spice up your day before walking around the area.

  • Rachel’s Ginger Beer: Now this is a real find. Phenomenal ginger beer. If you like a good Moscow Mule, this is your place to go! The space itself offers a very nice interior area to hang out with friends, or if you’re looking for someone to sit down solo, this is the location to do so.

  • Santo Coffee Co: Surrounded by plants, beautiful lighting, this is definitely a great place to read a book or get some work done while enjoying a cup of coffee.
