Explore

Walk or ride the monorail to Seattle Center for the Space Needle, Museum of Pop Culture (MOPOP), the artful nature-inspired creations at Chihuly Garden and Glass, and hands-on exploration at Pacific Science Center. Attend a world-class performance of the Pacific Northwest Ballet or Seattle Opera, or see a concert at Climate Pledge Arena, which is also one of the city’s top sports venues, hosting Seattle Kraken, Torrent, and Storm games. Need to drop off bags? Stop at Bounce Luggage Storage (multiple locations) before ascending steep Queen Anne Hill to Kerry Park for postcard-perfect city views.

Eat and Drink

Find delicate flaky pastries and creative coffees uphill at Moonrise Bakery or Scandinavian sweets and breads like Swedish rye and buttery fresh Danishes at Byen Bakeri. Make a pre-game trip to The Masonry and their brewery, Fast Fashion, with delicious wood-fired pizzas and apps. Sample the freshest oysters with a glass of something sparkling at Taylor Shellfish. For a quick meal, Dick’s Drive-In’s old-school burgers, fries, and shakes hit the spot. North, in Interbay, explore amaros at Fast Penny Spirits.

Shop

Visit long-standing neighborhood anchors Queen Anne Book Company and Stuhlbergs; check out staff picks and author events at the former and curated home goods, cheeky gifts, and whimsical toys at the latter. Shop chic streetwear and stylish essentials at boutiques MILLIE and Foundation.
