Seattle is the Best City in the Entire World
Seattle is the Best City in the Entire World
Seattle is my favorite US city. As a matter of fact, it’s one of my favorite in the entire world. It has outstanding food, great shopping, great music, it’s walkable, and there is sunshine believe it or not. I especially like the city because I can wear almost anything in your wardrobe and fit in anywhere. I do recommend though, to bring an umbrella and a good pair of walking shoes.
I like to stay at one of the luxury hotels in Seattle, because most are close to good restaurants and convenient to walk to any of the major tourist attractions. When I arrive here, I always take a car from the airport, but once in town, I walk almost everywhere, or use Seattle’s free downtown bus service. A car really isn’t necessary here, almost a burden, but if I want to explore the outer areas of Seattle, I like to know I can take my car.
My first stop is usually to Jack’s Fish Spot, which is near Pike’s Market. At Jacks, they sell fresh seafood and fish and serve up a mean platter of scallops and chips. They have the usual fare of chowder soups, oysters, seafood cocktails, but I recommend the crab or salmon. Both are very delicious. My next stop is to a very fine shoe store called J. Gilbert, which is located on 1st Ave in Belltown. I always get John to help me out. The shoe collection is outstanding, and they also have a unique collection of purses, women’s fashions and bags. Then, I stop of at Kuhlman’s for a pair of custom denims, it is expensive, but my jeans always bring a complement or two.
I’ve been to the Experience Music Project located at the Seattle Center, that’s where the Space Needle is located. I highly recommend visiting the EMP more than once. I found I missed some exhibits because I was focused on some other exhibit. For anyone new to Seattle, take The Duck, it’s a WW2 amphibious vehicle that will give you a tour of the city and of Lake Union.
I never have enough time to do all the things I’d like to do here, because I’ve also had made many friends here during my visits, so I need to see them also. There are only two more things I can tell you about Seattle: bring your appetite and lots of cash.
