My new favorite city on west coast US

Published 9 months ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader!

I think Seattle is one of the coolest cities on the West Coast, and that’s saying a lot from someone who loves San Francisco as a local. It has this creative, young, outdoorsy energy - a mix of coffee, tech, music, and nature that gives the city its own unique vibe.

My kid started college near Seattle, so I will be visiting a lot over the next few years and am looking forward to exploring the Pacific Northwest.

Seattle is known for its rainy weather, which also makes it lush and green year-round. I’ve been twice already, and luckily, both times we had sunny weather.

On my recent trip to Seattle, I spent a full day exploring the city's main attractions, from the historic Pike Place Market to the Space Needle and more.

The highlights for me were taking a fun food tour at Pike Place Market and admiring the city skyline views from both the harbor cruise and the top of the Space Needle.
​
There is so much more in Seattle and Washington that's on my bucket list, but for now, I hope you enjoy seeing Seattle through one of my blog posts!

Hi Reader! Chicago had been on my travel wish list for years, and I finally got the chance to visit this spring on a weekend getaway with friends. ➡️ My first trip to Chicago: 2 day itinerary After spending two full days exploring the city, one thing stood out to me: Chicago got the downtown right.

Hi Reader! Have you been to Hawaii before? One thing I didn't expect before visiting Hawaii was how different each island would feel. People often talk about "going to Hawaii" as if it's a single destination, but after visiting Oahu, Big Island, and Maui, I can tell you they each have their own personality, landscapes, and attractions. If you're trying to decide where to go, here's how I think about the three islands we've visited. Oahu ➡️ Oahu Itinerary for 5 to 7 Days Hanauma Bay - popular...
