Seattle Sights

Being from Seattle, I often find myself taking for granted the amazing things the city has to offer. While visiting my hometown last week during spring break, I spent a nice, sunny day in Seattle and remembered exactly why I love the city so much.

As the spring weather continues to become even more gorgeous, many of us find ourselves looking for things to do outside. Inspired by last week’s wonderful day in Seattle, I have a few things I recommend you try if you find yourself spending any time over in the Seattle area. Here you go!

1.Pike Place Market: The Pike Place Market is a huge tourist attraction that is an amazing way to spend your day outside in the beautiful city. Being recognized as the heart of Seattle, this amazing market offers visitors and residents alike the opportunity to shop, people watch, view art, eat amazing food, and much more! Open daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., the market is a cheap and effective way to spend your day! (I recommend checking out the world famous fish throwers and picking up some fresh, local fruits and veggies from the many stands that offer them!)

2. Ride the Ducks of Seattle: If you have ever spent any time walking around down town Seattle, I’m sure you’ve seen the “Duck Tours” that take people all around town, rain or shine! Hilarious captains take people of all kind throughout a tour of Seattle by both land and water. After exploring the town on a duck motor craft, it eventually splashes you into Lake Union for a tour by water. Open daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., this attraction is open year round! Visit their website to purchase tickets or for more information.

3. Argosy Cruises: The Argosy cruise tour is a wonderful way to spend your time in this nice weather while taking in the gorgeous cities surrounding Seattle. This can be a group event, or even taken solo, either way you will be sure to enjoy the tour. Different opens are offered, some even including a dinner, so be sure to look at their website for information on which kind of tour you are interested in taking.

Those are just a few ideas, but if you find yourself in Seattle, be sure to enjoy your weekend the right way and not take advantage of our beautiful area!
