Seattle Day Trip Checklist

🛒 Pike Place Market The market is huge with plenty of food options! I tried the lobster roll and BBQ pork pastries from Mee Sum Pastry, both highly recommended online. The stalls clearly display prices, and there are several other social media-recommended spots worth trying—usually no disappointments! 🌟 Hidden Gem: The "Gum Wall" under the entrance ramp—a bit gross but uniquely iconic. ☕️ First Starbucks A 15-minute walk from Pike Place Market takes you to the world's first Starbucks! It's spacious and always crowded. This location offers exclusive drinks, coffee, and food—definitely worth a try if you get the chance! Highly recommended! 🌆 Kerry Park 📍 The ultimate spot for sunset and night views! 📸 Classic photo op—Space Needle + Mount Rainier in one frame (unfortunately, it was too cloudy during our visit to see the mountain). 💡 Tip: Arrive early to secure a spot—golden hour lighting makes for stunning photos! 🗼 Space Needle We visited during the day for a panoramic view of Seattle. The 360° glass observation deck is thrilling! Some friends recommended visiting at night for the city lights. The elevator ride to the top is exciting—perfect for photos and videos 😆. 🎫 Money-saving tip: Buy a combo ticket with Chihuly Garden for a better deal! 🫙 Chihuly Garden and Glass 🔮 The pinnacle of glass art! 🌌 Indoor glass sculpture gallery: Dreamy light effects like a fallen galaxy. 🌺 Outdoor garden: Giant glass flowers intertwined with real ones—absolutely breathtaking! #Seattle #SeattleDayTrip #SeattleLife #SeattleTravel #SeattleGuide#Seattle guide
