Seattle Views (And Some Incredible Restaurants!)

We took some time to visit our son in Seattle before he makes his move to NYC! There’s a lot to see and do in Seattle and we lucked out with the weather in this usually gray, misty city.

What I love the most about Seattle, aside from seeing my son, are the views. You can be walking along a street, turn a corner and before you are beautiful mountains and a body of water. It’s just breathtaking. Today I want to share some of the views we’ve experienced on our trips to Seattle. 

Some fun areas, parks, and beaches for great views include:

• Capitol Hill
• Fremont
• Ballard
• Gas Works Park
• Seward Park
• Volunteer Park
• Discovery Park
• Sunset Hill Park
• Alki Beach

One night my son and I got dinner at a great food truck, Where Ya At Matt, and went to a local brewery, Urban Family Brewing Co. I usually don’t drink beer, but my son chose a light beer for me that was delicious and went so well with our New Orleans dinner!

Some other great restaurants we ate at:

• The Walrus & the Carpenter: They serve great oysters!
• Saint Bread: Try the Melonpan, it was fantastic, as were some other goodies!
• Sea Wolf: They serve incredible pasteries including an outstanding cinnamon bun!!
• Blotto: A really cute neighborhood pizza place.
• Revel: delicious Korean food-try the short rib wontons!
• Bangrak Market: Thai street food in a really cool setting.
• Dough Zone: This is always a favorite! The seaweed salad and soup dumplings are beyond delicious!
• The Pink Door: I’ve wanted to go here for a while and am so glad I did before my son moved.
• Mr. B’s Meadery: The cutest wine bar serving honey based drinks. It was cute, fun, and tasty!
