This guide is written with the intention of making the most of all this City has to offer - nature, views, city life, restaurants and bars, sports, music - with minimal planning. 

To make is easier to read I have split the guide into sections of things to do regardless of the season and then activities for each season. You can pick and choose events on how active you want this trip to be and how far you want to venture out of the city. (Find some transportation tips at the end of the guide :))

Seattle, Washington 

Have a day or two to spend in the Emerald city? Come to Ballard, the sweetheart of Seattle and my family’s home for nearly fifteen years. One of the oldest neighborhoods and full of Nordic charm, it’s also a dream for a nature lover. In my guide, you’ll find things to do, places to eat and drink and plenty to fill an entire weekend. Let me know if you stop by and tag me your favorite experiences on instagram @jennyvorwaller ✨

Seattle's Best Parks

Golden Gardens Park

extremely popular beach park.  best location to watch the sunset over the olympic mountains. 

always busy in the summer, packed with people paying beach games, bbq-ing, bonfires etc. 

limited parking. 

Another great picnic spot except this time it faces the sea and the Olympic mountains!
