Waterfront Mexican food, right next to the University of Washington. Our favorite chicken enchiladas in the city, and a fun drink menu. Just a few minutes from Gasworks Park, another must-see.

For a nice dinner out, this is some of the best food in Puget Sound with an unbeatable view of the city across the water. About 25 minutes from the house in West Seattle, but you won’t regret making the trip, especially if you go for the surf and turf.

During your required visit to Pike’s Place, you must check out this fantastic spot looking over the market instead of standing in line at the “first” (not actually the first) Starbucks. The sandwiches—and the vibes—are as good as the coffee, which is top-shelf. (About 15 minutes from the house).

Sightseeing
On a clear day, this is the best picture spot in Seattle. The Space Needle, the skyline, and Mt. Rainier are all in full view. Parking is often tough to find on the street, but it is worth it!

Even if baseball is not your sport or the Mariners are not your team, this stadium is a summer-time must. The roof is usually open, stunning views abound, and the garlic fries will be unforgettable, even if you don’t like them. (Less than 20 minutes from the house).

Picturesque waterfall just a half hour from the house. Wear sturdy shoes so you can make the hike down to the base of the falls. Inside the lodge next to the falls there is a pub with fantastic wood-fired pizza.
