The Emerald City may not be known for fantastic weather year-round, but thatās part of the charm! Thereās nothing like strolling Pike Place on a drizzly day with a cup of coffee in hand (some of the best in the world). Or enjoy a day of museum-hopping followed by a wine tasting on the EastsideĀ andĀ an amazing seafood dinner. And honestly, donāt let the wet weather deter you. Bring your rain gear (but leave the umbrella at home; we donāt use those out here), get out, and explore like the locals do! If you do happen to visit during the spectacular summers or again, donāt mind a bit of rain, there are plenty of outdoor spaces to enjoy. Take in city views at Gas Works, sunbathe at Alki Beach, or escape the hustle and bustle with a day trip to Bainbridge Island. Seattle will surely delight, no matter what kind of trip youāre looking for. From parks to attractions and landmarks, these are the best things to do in Seattle.
