Seattle’s on your mind. Maybe because of the millionth cup of bad coffee you had this morning. Maybe because you just graduated with a computer science degree and realized that the tech companies here blast out job offers like confetti on New Year’s Eve. Or maybe because you want a big-city weekend that still involves things like hiking and possibly seeing a whale.

Whatever the reason, you’re visiting Seattle, and there are plenty of great restaurants and bars you should prioritize here (many of which are not, in fact, at Pike Place Market). Put on some comfortable sneakers, pack a few layers, and don’t let anyone tell you that you’re not allowed to carry an umbrella.
