Capitol Hill runs east, west and has lots of neighborhood pockets that are unique and fun. Walking from North Cap Hill, a very residential yet connected neighborhood, toward the waterfront and Pike Place Market area you will find amazing shops, restaurants, dispensaries to visit along the entire way.

West Seattle is an oft overlooked part of Seattle that offers one of the few destination beaches on Puget Sound. Alki Beach has a two and a half mile long pedestrian walkway, and in the summer is populated by beach volleyball players, sun worshipers, and beachcombers. Most of the beaches on Puget Sound are covered in rock and shells, but on Alki you can get sand between your toes, get some exercise, learn about Seattle’s earliest settlers, and take in a great view of the Seattle skyline.

Don't miss a ferry ride! https://www.wsdot.com/ferries/sche
Inexpensive way to get out on the water! Take a short ride to Bainbridge or a long ride to Bremerton. Walk off the ferry and find a nice restaurant or bar and poke around the town for the day.

If time allows make a trip to Tacoma.
