The infamous city where Meg Ryan falls for Tom Hanks over the radio. Any \u201cSleepless in Seattle\u201d fans out there? No? Anyway\u2026 the city is packed to the brim with things to see, eat and drink so consider visiting more than once.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

EAT:<\/strong><\/p>\n

This might just be one of the coolest places to visit in the city. Not just for the ice cream, with flavors like salted caramel or mexican chocolate, but because you can also play some arcade games, listen to live music and enjoy some great beer. Yes,<\/span>\u00a0Full Tilt Ice Cream\u00a0<\/strong>sounds too good to be true. They have five locations, so wherever it is you\u2019re staying, there will always be one nearby. And they have weekly rotating flavors so you can stop by more than once if your stay is longer than a weekend!<\/span><\/p>\n

Now you can\u2019t leave Seattle happy if you didn\u2019t stop by the\u00a0<\/span>Pike Place Market<\/strong>\u00a0first. \u00a0Overlooking Elliott Bay, it is home to one of the oldest farmers\u2019 markets in the United States. You\u2019re probably wondering what you should try while you\u2019re there, since there is so much to do. My advice would be to plan an entire day around it; or as many hours as you can. You can eat everything from modern korean fusion to all the ways clam chowder can be served on a plate\/bowl. And visit stands selling toys, jewelry, herbal products and textiles.<\/span><\/p>\n

DRINK<\/strong>:<\/span><\/p>\n

Seattle\u2019s got quite a few \u201csecret bars.\u201d One of them being\u00a0<\/span>Bathtub Gin & Co<\/strong>. It\u2019s a small bar nestled in an alleyway that can be tricky to find, but once you do you can try customs cocktails as well as a wide selection of gin. Happy hour is from 5-7 pm with cocktails at $9 and wine by the glass for just $7.<\/span><\/p>\n

SEE<\/strong>:<\/span><\/p>\n

The best part about the city of Seattle is the perfect balance of its downtown, city life and its overflow of natural landscapes. The state of Washington also happens to be one of the top states in the US for hiking so if you can, take a short drive out of the city where you\u2019ll find hiking trails, waterfalls and natural parks in every direction. Like\u00a0<\/span>Rattlesnake Ledge<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0<\/span>Chain Lakes Loop<\/strong>\u00a0in the summertime.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Another great natural attraction is\u00a0<\/span>Alki Beach Park<\/strong>\u00a0if you\u2019re visiting in the summer. It might not be the warmest water to dive into but from the shore you can appreciate the views of the Olympic Mountains and downtown Seattle. As well as eat some delicious fresh seafood and enjoy the sunset while you do it. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
