So many yummy chocolates to eat on the very fun tour! You get to wear a terrific-looking hairnet, too ;-) It's in the fun neighborhood of Fremont in Seattle. If you're over there, be sure to check out the Fremont Troll under the bridge.

Parks & Nature

Lovely park winding down to Lake Washington. Swimming beach in the summertime. Connects to miles of walking/jogging paths along Lake Washington. Easiest access . . . walk East (right) on Lander (nearest cross-street) for 3 blocks and keep walking down into the park via the steep path. Head left to go toward the lake, right to go toward Mioposto or The Feed Store.

Grab a cup of coffee and a pastry at QED or Repast and enjoy the cityscape from this miniature park. Straight up our street, it's down hill all the way back!

Getting Around

A ferry boat ride from Seattle to Bainbridge Island is always delightful. A great view and experience for just a few bucks. It's especially nice to plan your trip back to the city to see the city light up at dusk. The charming town of Winslow on Bainbridge Island is a few blocks up from the ferry terminal and has a great bakery and many sweet shops and restaurants.

Everything Else

Neighborhood south of us (1 light rail stop toward the airport or a 2 mile drive down Rainier Ave.) with a wide selection of restaurants, local shops and even a bit of entertainment including Ark Lodge Cinemas and the Columbia City Theater for live entertainment. It's walk-able, but we recommend taking back streets. Rainier Ave. is not a pleasant stroll.

A few light rail or bus stops from our place ... even walkable if you love to walk (ask Diane for a recommended route). This is the historic Chinatown, Japantown and Little Saigon. The book, The Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet took place here. Great restaurants and interesting shops.

Drinks & Nightlife

A steep walk up Beacon Hill or one stop on the light rail will put you close to Perihelion Brewery. Huge beer selection and fantastic food. We love the deep-fried Brussels sprouts.

A mini-micro neighborhood Saloon run by the people that own the very charming Feed Store around the corner from it. Creative cocktails and some delicious snacks. Best guacamole ever!

Sightseeing

Completely charming and hugely crowded in travel season. Worth it. Easiest access is the light rail, getting off at the University Street or Westlake stations and walk a few blocks. Anyone downtown can point you in the right direction.

The one, the only - the icon of Seattle! Easy-ish access: take the light rail to Westlake station, then either get on the Monorail (separate fare) or walk about a mile to Seattle Center. The Center often has festivals happening. Chihuly Garden and Glass is here as well - stunning.
