Seattle: An adventure through the clouds and the fragrance of coffee | Travel Guide Having just returned from Seattle, my heart is still immersed in that vibrant city. As a travel blogger, this trip brought me many unexpected surprises. If it is your first time to visit Seattle, or you are curious about this place known as the "Emerald City", I will introduce you in detail how to get around this city in the northwest corner. 1. Destination introduction: First impression of Seattle Seattle, located in Washington state in the northwest United States, is one of the gateway cities in the United States. The charm of this city lies in this unique atmosphere. The weather is most suitable in August and September, with warm sunshine and is very suitable for outdoor activities. Another point is that Seattle is the world-famous "coffee capital" and the birthplace of Starbucks! Therefore, coffee culture permeates every corner of the city. 2. Food recommendations: Eat in Seattle, an adventure that satisfies your taste buds In Seattle, the variety of food options is dazzling. Pike Place Market is a place I always visit every time I go to Seattle, especially the popular Beecher's Handmade Cheese. Their cheese is simply delicious. Be sure to try their Macaroni and Cheese. and Cheese), super rich. If you’re craving seafood, Seattle’s salmon is world-famous! Elliott's Oyster House is one of my favorite seafood restaurants this time. The oysters, lobster and grilled salmon are excellent. Remember to book in advance because it’s so popular! Finally, don’t forget to try their unique pizza at Serious Pie. The crispy crust and juicy toppings are so addictive. 3. Attraction introduction: Seattle’s iconic attractions - Space Needle: One of Seattle’s most famous landmarks, you can’t miss it! It was built for the World Expo in 1962. The tower is 184 meters high. You can overlook the entire city from the observation deck and have a 360-degree view of the city. Tickets cost about $35 and are generally open from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. It is recommended to go up to the tower at dusk. Seattle under the sunset makes people feel extremely romantic. - Chihuly Garden and Glass: If you are interested in art, this dreamy glass art gallery will definitely amaze you. Each piece of glass art is like a frozen dream, colorful and visually impactful. The ticket price is about US$30, which is definitely worth it. - Pike Place Market: This is one of the oldest farmers markets in the United States. In addition to a variety of fresh ingredients and delicious food, the market also has many interesting handicraft shops, coffee shops and street performers. Remember to check out the famous "Flying Fish" where the clerk will throw fresh fish over your head! Also, don’t forget to check in to the world’s first Starbucks! - Lake Union: An outdoor enthusiast's paradise, Lake Union is a great place for boating, kayaking, and swimming. The surrounding cafes and restaurants also make this area perfect for walking and enjoying a meal. 4. Things to note: Tips you must know when traveling - Weather: Seattle’s weather is changeable, especially in the fall and winter, when drizzle is common. Therefore, it is recommended that you bring a small umbrella or waterproof jacket with you so that you can deal with those sudden raindrops gracefully. - Transportation: Although Seattle has a comprehensive public transportation system, taking a taxi and walking are the most convenient ways. You can use Uber or Lyft, especially getting from the airport to the city is very convenient. If you want to rent a car and drive yourself, be aware that parking in the city center is relatively expensive. - Language exchange: English communication in Seattle is completely stress-free, and the locals are also very friendly and enthusiastic. If you encounter something you don’t understand in the market or on the street, you might as well ask them directly for help. - Cultural Etiquette: Seattleites are very environmentally conscious, so please remember to separate your trash and turn off the water source. Also, when entering a restaurant or cafe, leave a tip after consumption, usually 15%-20% of the bill. 5. Personal experience sharing: My little adventure in Seattle On my first day in Seattle, I was deeply impressed by the city’s tolerance and freedom. The unique leisurely temperament of the northwest, integrated with the beautiful mountains and rivers, makes me feel very comfortable no matter where I go. When visiting the Space Needle, I caught up with the sunset. The orange sunlight shining on the glass buildings of the city was really a beautiful picture. At night on the shores of Lake Union, there was a cool breeze. My friend and I rented a kayak and slowly paddled toward the center of the lake. Watching the city lights light up little by little, we felt as if we had entered a fairy tale world. On the last day, we went to Pike Place Market. After shopping around, I sat in front of the first Starbucks, drinking a cup of strong latte and listening to the music performance of the street performers. I felt infinitely calm and satisfied. It is these small details during the journey that make me truly feel the beauty of traveling. Conclusion The charm of Seattle lies not only in its metropolitan scenery, but also in its unique blend of nature and humanity. If you like coffee, love outdoor sports, and are looking for a city that is both modern and natural, then Seattle is definitely worth putting on your next travel list. I hope this guide of mine can help you...
