๐บ๐ธ Why I Love This Emerald City
๐ฃ You can watch fishmongers toss salmon at Pike Place Market, then turn around and join the line at the world's first Starbucks, even though you know it tastes just the same. ๐ Or you can curl up with a yellowed poetry collection from a secondhand bookstore and wait on a bench at Kerry Park for a sunset that may or may not decide to show up. ๐ข You'll meet street musicians strumming guitars by the pier, singing songs from twenty years ago, and overhear programmers at a Bellevue Square cafรฉ debating the future of artificial intelligence. โ๏ธ In Seattle, drinking hot black coffee on a rainy day is a ritual, and lying on the grass at Gas Works Park under clear skies is equally essential. ๐๏ธ Beauty here is free โ From gazing at Mount Rainier and the Space Needle from Kerry Park, to watching Puget Sound shimmer from Alki Beach. ๐ต Seattle is also the last home of grunge music โ you can still find vintage Nirvana vinyl tucked in a corner record store. ๐ A three-dollar bus ride will take you from Chinatown to the University of Washington, passing through neighborhoods where every corner holds stories from people of all walks of life. ๐ This is a city that allows you to be quiet โ You can sit alone in a cafรฉ all afternoon without drawing curious stares.Your uniqueness simply dissolves into a sea of other unique souls. #Seattle#Seattletravel#travelguide#Seattlelife#Seattlediary
