Food scene
We love donuts here in the Pacific Northwest. If you're up for a truly special donut experience, check out 9th and Hennepin's fresh donuts. There are only 4 flavors and they change weekly. It's just a 5 minute walk away down the staircase on Juneau st. (4 houses south of here).

Fun unique experience on Lake Union. Take a hot-tub boat out for an awesome time on the water. Great views of Downtown Seattle and local attractions like the houseboats where Sleepless in Seattle was filmed. It's seriously an awesome experience - highly recommend!

The most touristy and recognizable thing to do in Seattle, but it's also really cool.
It really captures the 1960's space feel perfectly. Views are amazing and despite being overtly touristy, it's really a blast and I'd recommend anyone visiting Seattle make it to the top of the Space Needle!

Ukuhamba-hamba
Bus line 120 to downtown
Take the 120 by walking down the Juneau staircase (just 4 houses down). There's quite a few stairs (174 to be exact), but it'll lead you down to Delridge st. where you can catch the 120 to downtown Seattle which takes about 25 minutes.
Amasiko nenkcubeko
No to umbrellas!
It rains alot here, but usually, it's a light misting rain. You won't see locals using umbrellas here. Instead, we wear a light rain jacket that can be carried around and worn any time - hands free.
