Welcome to Emerald city! We are so excited for you all to explore Seattle and surrounding areas. Here are some recommendations:
Only minutes away from our venue and our recommended hotels. This is an exhibition featuring stunning glass sculptures by artist Dale Chihuly. The outdoor garden and glasshouse are particularly beautiful in the spring.
Iconic Seattle landmark offering panoramic views of the city and surrounding areas. Enjoy the observation deck and, if you’re feeling adventurous, the rotating glass floor. In the same complex as the Chihuly garden.
A historic marketplace known for its fresh produce, artisanal foods, and quirky shops. Don’t miss the famous fish toss and the original Starbucks store.
We live here! Our neighborhood is known for its maritime heritage, trendy boutiques, and lively dining scene. Don’t miss the Ballard Locks and Fish Ladder, where you can watch boats navigate the locks and see salmon migrating through the fish ladder. The historic Ballard Avenue offers charming shops, cafes, and a great place to stroll. Check out the Ballard Farmer’s Market (if visiting on a Sunday) for fresh produce and local goods.
Often referred to as the "Center of the Universe," Fremont is a quirky and eclectic neighborhood with a bohemian vibe. Explore the Fremont Troll, a famous sculpture under the Aurora Bridge, and the Fremont Rocket, a vintage space-themed piece.
Arguably Seattle's coolest neighborhood, the LGBTQ epicenter offers bars, brunch spots, and boutiques galore. Very close to our venue, we recommend you take a stroll and explore!
