Here in Seattle, I’m always on the lookout for the best places to enjoy the sunshine (or stay dry from the rain—I mean, this is the damp Pacific Northwest). And after living here for the past 10 years, I’m still making discoveries. There’s always an exciting new restaurant where I can sample new-to-me food, a gallery where I can take in the work of a local artist, or a locally owned boutique where I’m able to “shop small.” When visitors come for just a day, I can squeeze in so many reasons I love this city into an itinerary.
