I go here on a sunny day. They have a big, open patio with beautiful views of Lake Union. Unfortunately, I think it is overpriced. But for a quick beer and taco, it's worth it to sit in the sun and take in the view.

This is a more high end option in the Eastlake neighborhood. It is perfect for a romantic date or special occasion. The italian food, service and ambiance is spot on. Also check out their sister restaurant attached to the back (beautiful architecture, views from upstairs and decorations!).

This unassuming corner market has the best poke bowls in town. Order at the quick mart counter, then take your order to go and head down to Gas Works Park or Green Lake Park to enjoy. For the amount of food and fresh fish, the prices are good. You'll crave this place after you've left!

Sightseeing

Fish tossing, local artists, local farms, beautiful flowers--all along the Puget Sound. Check out the lesser-seen downstairs portion of the market to see some real funky shops and entertainment. Head to Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory near the beginning of the market for (albeit overpriced) amazing carmel apples (think outside the box with these carmel apples!).

Parks & Nature

This park has arguably the best views in Seattle. Big bluffs host views of the Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains, as well as a beach where you can tide pool, view an old light house, and see Mt Rainier and the Port of Seattle on a sunny day. It is a large park with hills, so check out a map online before you visit and bring walking shoes.

You can see this park across the water from the little parks near our home! With old oil refinery equipment still on site, this park is as unique as it is beautiful. Centered on Lake Union, these are the best views of downtown you can find. Bring a kite to fly atop the hill, or a make a picnic with a serious view. Awesome for sunsets.

Green Lake is an iconic Seattle park and neighborhood. Take a run, walk, bike or skate around the lake and pop into the local restaurants in the area as you please. On a sunny day, this park is packed with families, dogs, sports, picnics, swimming, exercise and action! There are beaches to swim at, and you can rent paddle boats near the community center. As you round the lake, check out the mountain and space needle views peeking out above the trees on a clear day.

We spend much of our time hiking and camping. If you're interested in hiking or exploring outside of the city (and have a car and the time), let Megan know and I'll give you a couple options! Rattlesnake Ridge is a great (and hugely popular) hike for views without a huge amount of effort-- it is also not too far from the city! Packed on weekends, especially if they are sunny. For other options, just ask. There are endless options off of i90 or Highway 2 to get you going!
