There’s plenty of things to do in Seattle, and we’re glad to hear that this will be the first time in this city for many of you. We’ve gotten some great recommendations from friends, both locals as well as avid yelpers. So, we decided to compile a list.
If you live in Seattle or lived there in the past, we want to hear from you! Feel free to add your recommendation by commenting on this post. Please leave a brief description and a Yelp link if possible. Thanks!
