Guide to Seattle, Washington

Highlights in food, coffee and nature

---

Seattle will always have a special place in my heart. I feel like I end up here once every month or so and I can’t complain: tons of good friends live in the city, there’s always a new hike to do and a fantastic new coffee shop to try out afterward. This time around, I’m staying with a friend in Tacoma and exploring some old favorite nature spots around the state, trying new restaurants, window shopping, and catching up on work. Here are all of the places I find myself revisiting:
