Seattle | Summer Day Trip to a Coastal Town

📍 Edmonds, WA Edmonds has always been my favorite small town near Seattle! It has beaches 🏖️, great restaurants, crabbing 🦀, fishing 🎣, squid fishing 🦑, ferry rides 🚢, and plenty of cute shops. 📍 Marina Beach Park A fantastic seaside park where you can bring your dog 🐶 to Off Leash Area Edmonds—a large, open off-leash park right by the water. Many dogs love running into the sea! The area is unshaded and can be sunny, but the park itself has plenty of trees 🌲 perfect for setting up a hammock. 📍 Edmonds Fishing Pier An ideal spot for stunning sunsets! In the summer, street performers often create giant bubbles, which kids love 👏. The pier is also famous for crabbing, fishing, and squid fishing—just remember not to leave crab pots overnight! 📍 Port of Edmonds Take a ferry to nearby islands like Bainbridge or to Olympic National Park 🏞️. 📍 Teri's Toybox Stroll along Edmonds' main street and explore charming shops like this one, known for its wide selection of Jellycat toys. Spend an hour wandering the downtown area! Highly Recommended Restaurants 🍴: 📍 Ono Authentic Hawaiian Poke Always packed! The line often stretches around the block, but it’s worth it. The poke tastes authentically Hawaiian—at least 80% as good as the best poke spots in Hawaii! The lychee drink is also delicious. 📍 MARKET Seafood Eatery Famous for its Lobster Roll—a well-known Seattle staple. No need for more introductions! Pro tip: Order online to skip the wait. 📍 Ristorante Machiavelli A family-style Italian pasta restaurant 🇮🇹. Not widely known but absolutely amazing! #SeattleDayTrip #EdmondsWA #CoastalTown #Seafood #Poke #TravelWashington
