Guidebook for Seattle
Sightseeing
A great place for a morning or afternoon stroll. You'll see the Olympic mountain range, a view of downtown Seattle, sailboats in the Sound, and Mt. Rainier in the distance.

This park makes for a nice retreat from city energy. Take a seat and smile at passers-by or wander along the wooded paths.

My favorite view of the Sound. A nice walk could start at Kinnear Park, stop here, and head north to the Garfield steps. Stop at Le Reve for a treat when you're done - yum!

Seattle Icon. You can see it from the living room by why not take a look up close? Green space and fun sculptures near the needle make it a great place to pass an afternoon.

Food Scene
Beautifully made pastries - I highly recommend the twice baked almond croissant and a hot cup of coffee. Sweet, savory, and worth the climb up famous Queen Anne Hill.

Shopping
Hit the $0.50 rack - I've found some winners there. A great place to duck out of the rain (this is Seattle, after all) and peruse the selection.

Essentials
Safeway
516 1st Ave WWell-stocked grocery store with a pharmacy inside.
Nice antipasti and salad bars, hot food selection, and good cheese counter. The people in the wine section have steered me toward many a good bottle. It's pricier than Safeway but a nice treat.
