Our go-to place for a celebration dinner. Need reservations, at least a week in advance. Amazing homemade pasta. In fact, everything we’ve ever had here has been delicious.

A fabulous, black-owned restaurant in the Central District (the "CD"). The CD was redlined but has been gentrifying, so supporting this restaurant is central to Seattle. Make reservations weeks ahead, or show up right when the restaurant opens on a weekday to get a table.

One of MANY breweries in this area of Ballard, but one of the best, we think. No food, but food trucks outside (or you can order food and bring it in). Great COVID-friendly outdoor space that is kid friendly.

About a 20-30 minute walk downhill (and then quite uphill back home) or 5-10 minute drive, this park is beautiful and right on the Puget Sound. It has a beach, great playground, green space, and lovely forested trails to walk on. The view of the Olympics is beautiful when it's clear.

Great bookstore in Capitol Hill. Capitol Hill itself is just uphill (away from the waterfront) from downtown and an interesting place to explore -- has some great bars and stores, etc. Moses and I often just go and walk around Elliot Bay for an hour or so. They also have a nice coffee shop inside the store.

Take a ferry!
A great and relatively cheap activity, particularly if you don't have a car (cheaper that way), and it's nice out. The ferry to take without a car is the Bainbridge line (which leaves from downtown Seattle). You can walk to some great bakeries, coffee shops, and restaurants in Winslow from the ferry.
