Seattle<\/h3>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media.nomadicmatt.com\/2022\/seattleguide2.jpg\" alt=\"Neon sign saying 'Public Market Center' with people clustered around historic market buildings in Seattle, Washington.\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Visit the Seattle Center<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Built for the 1962 World&#8217;s Fair and home to the 605-foot (184-meter) Space Needle, this city landmark is a mini-entertainment complex. There is the International Fountain, the Experience Music Project, the Science Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame, the Pacific Science Center, the Museum of Pop Culture, and a variety of different gardens. Many different festivals take place here as well, including Seattle Pride, Bumbershoot (music festival), and Bite of Seattle (food festival). If you want to go up to the Space Needle&#8217;s observation deck, admission is $32.50-42.50 USD depending on the time of day (before 11am is the cheapest while 11am-7pm is the most expensive).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Stroll through Pike Place Market<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Pike Place Market is one of the oldest farmers\u2019 markets in the United States (it opened in 1907). This nine-acre area boasts countless shops, restaurants, stalls, galleries, antique dealers, and cafes selling everything from crafts and artwork to fresh produce and flowers. You can download an app that gives you a directory and map to make it easier to find your way around. On a nice day, stop by the secret garden in the southwest corner of the market. It\u2019s a relaxing place to get a break from the crowds and enjoy incredible views of the Puget Sound. In the evening, you can catch a show at the improv theater, Unexpected Productions, or grab a drink at the speakeasy bar, The Rabbit Box. Make sure you watch the fish throwers (fish mongers who throw fish to each other when one is sold) or one of the countless buskers for some good entertainment!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Visit the Seattle Art Museum<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>With a heavy focus on modern works, you&#8217;ll find a lot of great art here (there are over 25,000 items in their collection). There are always special exhibits (when I was there it was Picasso) and they have special museum nights with live music, drinks, and interactive activities. Admission is $29.99 USD when purchased in advance and $32.99 USD if you wait until you arrive. You can also add a ticket to the Seattle Asian Art museum for $14.99 when you book online. Admission is free on the first Thursday of every month (including special exhibitions).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Relax on Alki Beach<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Sticking out onto Puget Sound, this 2.5-mile (4-kilometer) long beach is where the first white settlers arrived in the area in the 1850s. Today, it&#8217;s a chill spot to kick back and relax on the shore, watch the cruise ships pass by, enjoy a meal at one of the oceanfront restaurants, take a tour of the historic lighthouse, or just lounge away the day. Bring a book and enjoy the view! You\u2019ll also see volleyball courts and bike paths if you want to be to do something more active. There are picnic tables so you can bring your own lunch to save a bit of money. On a clear day, you can see the Olympic Mountains in the distance. Take a walk down to see the 2.5-ton anchor that sits on the northern tip of the beach, at the site of an old amusement park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Head to Pioneer Square<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the heart of the city, Pioneer Square is the site where the city\u2019s founders first settled in 1852. History abounds with cobblestone streets and classic 19th-century red brick buildings lining the 90-acre (36-hectare) district. Today, there are lots of hip bars and trendy cafes in the neighborhood that make it a great place to relax and people-watch. The area is also home to the first art walk in the country, which started in 1981 and has been going strong ever since. Join in on the first Thursday of every month from 5pm-10pm!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<div data-gyg-widget=\"auto\" data-gyg-partner-id=\"LLKQJ38\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id8807_cfac8d-6b > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id8807_cfac8d-6b > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id8807_cfac8d-6b > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}.kb-row-layout-id8807_cfac8d-6b > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id8807_cfac8d-6b > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id8807_cfac8d-6b > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id8807_cfac8d-6b alignnone wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\" id=\"seedo\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-1-columns kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top\">\n<style>.kadence-column8807_0980e9-ab > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column8807_0980e9-ab > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column8807_0980e9-ab > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column8807_0980e9-ab > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column8807_0980e9-ab > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column8807_0980e9-ab > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column8807_0980e9-ab{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column8807_0980e9-ab > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column8807_0980e9-ab > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column8807_0980e9-ab\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-7d671ee0 heading-line\" id=\"section-title\">\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading8807_eef04d-56, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading8807_eef04d-56[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading8807_eef04d-56\"]{padding-right:var(--global-kb-spacing-xs, 1rem);padding-left:var(--global-kb-spacing-xs, 1rem);text-align:center;font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading8807_eef04d-56 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading8807_eef04d-56[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading8807_eef04d-56\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h3 class=\"kt-adv-heading8807_eef04d-56 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading has-theme-palette-9-background-color has-background\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading8807_eef04d-56\">Other Things to See and Do in Seattle<\/h3>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Take an underground tour<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.undergroundtour.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Seattle Underground Tour<\/a> offers a humorous stroll through subterranean storefronts and sidewalks from when the city was rebuilt after the Great Fire of 1889. Tours are 75 minutes and cost $22 USD. If you\u2019re into ghosts, they also run a additional Paranormal Underground Tours where you even get to use paranormal investigative equipment to hunt for ghosts yourself. It\u2019s $50 USD for the Underground Paranormal Experience combo ticket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Explore Hing Hay Park<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Located in the Chinatown-International District, Hing Hay Park is where you can watch chess players in action or participate in morning Tai-Chi. There are also lots of events held here in the summer, including concerts and theater performances. Nearby are plenty of karaoke bars as well as lots of places to grab a bubble tea. If you want to find out more about Seattle&#8217;s Asian-American community, visit the Wing Luke Asian Museum, which highlights the art, culture, and history of Asian Pacific Americans (admission is $17 USD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Visit the Boeing Museum of Flight<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>This museum showcases air travel through the ages. As an avid traveler, it&#8217;s super interesting. There are over 150 planes here, as well as the original Boeing \u201cfactory.\u201d They have the original Air Force One, a Concorde jet (one of only four on display outside Europe), and a full mock-up of the first lunar lander. There\u2019s a whole exhibit that uses artifacts from the museum to share untold stories from WWII and another featuring stories from the race between the US and Soviet Union to be the first to send a man to the moon. Outside, you\u2019ll find an open-air exhibit about the Vietnam War and a tribute to the veterans who fought in that conflict. Admission is $26 USD. Every first Thursday of the month from 5pm-9m, admission is free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Watch boats at the Ballard Locks<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Opened in 1917, these locks provide a link for boats between the Puget Sound and the Ship Canal. Over a million tons of cargo pass through the locks each year (they handle more boat traffic than any other lock in the US). Stop by the Fish Ladder Viewing Gallery where you can get an aquarium-like view of salmon migrating through the locks (migrations take place between June and September). There\u2019s an aquaculture museum attached, and you can also take tours of the locks. Admission to everything is free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Learn about the Gold Rush<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1897, news of the gold discovery in the Canadian Yukon sent throngs of prospectors up north. This, in turn, brought many people to Seattle, who used it as a gateway to the north. The Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park offers an interesting look at this formative period in North American history. The museum is located in the Pioneer Square Preservation District that was the original downtown area during the time period. In addition to the two floors of exhibitions, there are also several films that shed light on the city&#8217;s transformation and the impact of the gold rush on Seattle\u2019s development. There are continually rotating exhibits that you can find information about on their website. Admission is free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Explore the Museum of Pop Culture (MoPOP)<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>This amazing Frank Gehry-designed building looks like a smashed guitar from the sky. Inside are colorful and immersive exhibits that cover everything from the history of indie video games and horror films to Nirvana, the Seahawks, and other local pop culture. One exhibit is dedicated to helping us understand the power of pop culture in shaping our identities and how the shared experiences shape the way we view the world. You can go behind the scenes to see how stop-motion animation films like Coraline were created. There\u2019s a whole exhibition dedicated to the world of fantasy where you can get a look at a look at creations from films like Harry Potter and The Wizard of Oz. In the Nirvana exhibition, you\u2019ll get to see a huge collection of artifacts and memorabilia from the iconic Seattle band that includes some of the band\u2019s instruments and photographs. There&#8217;s a massive pillar made out of guitars inside, as well as a Science Fiction section and a Hall of Fame for sci-fi and fantasy creators. Tickets start at $32.25 USD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. Take a boat ride<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Seattle has a fun tradition: every Sunday volunteers from the Center for Wooden Boats (a living museum where you can rent a boat and learn to sail) take people out on Lake Union. Boats generally set sail between 11am-7pm and it&#8217;s first-come, first-served \u2014 so show up early! The ride is free on the last Sunday of every month from April to October. The center also has several exhibits including displays of historic wooden boats and boat photography. From Wednesday-Sunday, you can take a row boat out on the water yourself for one hour, free of charge. Admission is to the center is also free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. Visit the Chihuly Garden and Glass<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Located in Belltown, this gallery showcases the jaw-dropping work of Dale Chihuly, one of the most famous blown glass artists in the world. Intricate and multi-colored blown-glass work is displayed throughout a series of indoor and outdoor installations, including a lush garden filled with various colorful glass sculptures. Inside is a 100-foot long sculpture in reds and oranges \u2014 one of Chihuly\u2019s largest suspended works. There are also glass-blowing demonstrations throughout the day as well as special events and talks. Check the website for details. Admission is $35-39 USD depending on what time of day you visit (it&#8217;s cheaper after 6 pm). You can also get a combination ticket to visit the garden and the Space Needle for $62.50-67.50USD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10. Relax on Bainbridge Island<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Nearby Bainbridge Island offers a nice reprieve from the busy city. It&#8217;s filled with over 150 acres (61 hectares) of gardens, meadows, ponds, and even a nature reserve. If you want to learn about the island\u2019s history, check out the Bainbridge Island Historical Museum and the Japanese American Exclusion Museum. For something fun, visit Frog Rock, a local icon who often gets a costume for the holidays. There\u2019s also Halls Hill Labyrinth that\u2019s made from mosaics and modeled after the famous labyrinth in Chartres, France, and situated in its own grove of trees. Make sure you stop for ice cream at the Mora Iced Creamery! You can take the 30-minute Bainbridge Island Ferry ($9.85 USD one-way; there is no charge to return to Seattle if you&#8217;re a pedestrian) across and then get a bicycle rental for the day for about $35-45 USD (most bike rentals on the island require advance booking).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">11. Take a food tour<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re a foodie like me, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.savorseattletours.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Savor Seattle Food Tours<\/a> offers an amazing overview of some of Seattle&#8217;s best foodie areas, including Pike Place Market, for $55 USD. There&#8217;s also a VIP tour of Pike Place Market for $80 USD, just in case you want to go a little more in-depth. Not only will you get to eat some great food but you&#8217;ll learn about the food&#8217;s history and the culture behind it too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">12. Take a trip to Vancouver<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re here for a while, consider taking a trip to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomadicmatt.com\/travel-guides\/canada-travel-tips\/vancouver\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Vancouver<\/a>, Canada. It&#8217;s just a 2.5-hour drive away and is one of my favorite cities in the world. There are tons of amazing places to eat (including great sushi places), lots of nearby hiking (don&#8217;t miss the Grouse Grind), and relaxing views of Stanley Park. It makes for a perfect weekend getaway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div data-gyg-widget=\"auto\" data-gyg-partner-id=\"LLKQJ38\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id8807_e9544c-6e > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id8807_e9544c-6e > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id8807_e9544c-6e > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}.kb-row-layout-id8807_e9544c-6e > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id8807_e9544c-6e > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id8807_e9544c-6e > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id8807_e9544c-6e alignnone wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\" id=\"safe\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-1-columns kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top\">\n<style>.kadence-column8807_83e2ae-7a > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column8807_83e2ae-7a > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column8807_83e2ae-7a > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column8807_83e2ae-7a > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column8807_83e2ae-7a > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column8807_83e2ae-7a > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column8807_83e2ae-7a{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column8807_83e2ae-7a > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column8807_83e2ae-7a > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column8807_83e2ae-7a\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-b68a4ab2 heading-line\" id=\"section-title\">\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading8807_485f13-b4, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading8807_485f13-b4[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading8807_485f13-b4\"]{padding-right:var(--global-kb-spacing-xs, 1rem);padding-left:var(--global-kb-spacing-xs, 1rem);text-align:center;font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading8807_485f13-b4 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading8807_485f13-b4[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading8807_485f13-b4\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h3 class=\"kt-adv-heading8807_485f13-b4 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading has-theme-palette-9-background-color has-background\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading8807_485f13-b4\">How to Stay Safe in Seattle<\/h3>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Seattle is a very safe place to backpack and travel. Most neighborhoods are safe to explore, especially the touristy areas, but there are a handful of places to avoid because of higher than normal violence or mugging risks. This includes around King County Courthouse and Pioneer Square, as well as the area between Pike and Pine. Don&#8217;t explore those places alone after dark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Petty crimes like pickpocketing can occur in high-trafficked areas, like tourist attractions or on crowded public transit. Always keep your belongings secure and don&#8217;t wave any flashy valuables around just to be safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There aren&#8217;t a ton of scams here but if you&#8217;re worried about getting ripped off, you can read about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomadicmatt.com\/travel-blogs\/avoid-travel-scams\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">common travel scams to avoid here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Solo female travelers should generally feel safe here but the standard precautions apply (never leave your drink unattended at the bar, never walk home alone intoxicated, etc.). For specific tips, there are many incredible solo female travel blogs out there. They can give you tips and advice that I can\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you experience an emergency, dial 911 for assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Always trust your gut instinct. Make copies of your personal documents, including your passport and ID.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most important piece of advice I can offer is to purchase good travel insurance. Travel insurance will protect you against illness, injury, theft, and cancellations. It&#8217;s comprehensive protection in case anything goes wrong. I never go on a trip without it as I&#8217;ve had to use it many times in the past.

A rising cost of living has made it more expensive than in the past. It&#8217;s not going to be the cheapest place to visit but there are still some ways to cut your costs. Here are some ways to save money in Seattle:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bring a reusable water bottle<\/strong> &#8211; The tap water is safe to drink here so bring a reusable water bottle to save money and reduce your single-use plastic usage. <a href=\"https:\/\/lifestraw.xyibsh.net\/B0AY14\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LifeStraw<\/a> makes reusable bottles with built-in filters that ensure your water is always clean and safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pick up a CityPASS<\/strong> &#8211; This discount ticket offers entrance to five of Seattle\u2019s biggest tourist attractions for $127 USD, saving you nearly 50%!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Redeem hotel points<\/strong> &#8211; Be sure to sign up for hotel credit cards and use those points when you travel. There\u2019s nothing better than free accommodation and most cards come with at least 1-2 nights free. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomadicmatt.com\/travel-blogs\/points-miles-for-beginners\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">This post can help you get started with the basics<\/a> so you can start earning points today and have plenty for your trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Eat in Chinatown<\/strong> &#8211; For the cheapest food in the city, go to Chinatown and eat your heart out. You\u2019ll find filling plates of food here for around $12 USD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Buy a transit pass<\/strong>You can get a day pass for $8 USD that gives you unlimited rides on streetcars, light rail, bus, metro, and more. All you need is an Orca card (a physical card is $3) or you can use the app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Get a cheaper aerial view of the city<\/strong> &#8211; Skip the Space Needle and head to the Starbucks on the 40th floor of the Columbia Tower downtown for a panoramic view over the city. It\u2019ll just cost you a drink!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Stay with a local<\/strong> &#8211; Nothing\u2019s cheaper than sleeping for free! <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomadicmatt.com\/travel-blogs\/how-to-crush-it-on-couchsurfing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Couchsurfing<\/a> connects you with locals who can share their insider knowledge about the city while helping you save money by letting you sleep on their couch for free. It&#8217;s the best way to meet locals and get inside tips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Go on a free walking tour<\/strong> &#8211; This is a great way to learn the history behind the places you are seeing and to avoid missing any must-see stops. <em>Seattle Free Walking Tours<\/em> has a couple of walking tours that can teach you about the history of the city. Just remember to tip your guide at the end!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Save money on rideshares<\/strong> &#8211; Uber and Lyft are cheaper than taxis and are the best way to get around a city if you don\u2019t want to take a bus or pay for a taxi. The shared option (where you share a ride with other people) offers even better savings.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id8807_92eaac-95 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id8807_92eaac-95 > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id8807_92eaac-95 > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}.kb-row-layout-id8807_92eaac-95 > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id8807_92eaac-95 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id8807_92eaac-95 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id8807_92eaac-95 alignnone wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\" id=\"getaround\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-1-columns kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top\">\n<style>.kadence-column8807_e8e88f-8d > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column8807_e8e88f-8d > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column8807_e8e88f-8d > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column8807_e8e88f-8d > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column8807_e8e88f-8d > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column8807_e8e88f-8d > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column8807_e8e88f-8d{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column8807_e8e88f-8d > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column8807_e8e88f-8d > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column8807_e8e88f-8d\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-4f458871 heading-line\" id=\"section-title\">\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading8807_80522a-1b, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading8807_80522a-1b[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading8807_80522a-1b\"]{padding-right:var(--global-kb-spacing-xs, 1rem);padding-left:var(--global-kb-spacing-xs, 1rem);text-align:center;font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading8807_80522a-1b mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading8807_80522a-1b[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading8807_80522a-1b\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h3 class=\"kt-adv-heading8807_80522a-1b wp-block-kadence-advancedheading has-theme-palette-9-background-color has-background\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading8807_80522a-1b\">How to Get Around in Seattle<\/h3>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media.nomadicmatt.com\/2022\/seattleguide4.jpg\" alt=\"Monorail passing by the Frank Gehry-designed Museum of Pop Culture in Seattle, Washington.\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Public transportation<\/strong> &#8211; Seattle has a robust public transportation system, with buses, ferries, a streetcar, and a light rail. Fares start at $2.25 USD, depending on which mode of transportation you\u2019re using and where you&#8217;re going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can purchase tickets at the station or via the Transit GO Ticket app. You can also purchase a reloadable ORCA card for $3 USD, which tracks different fares and transfers automatically. Day passes are $8 USD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Seattle Center Monorail runs between Westlake Center and Seattle Center at the bottom of Queen Anne hill. The monorail departs every ten minutes and the full trip only takes two minutes! A one-way fare is $3.50 USD. You can use your ORCA card for the monorail too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ferries vary in cost depending on where you&#8217;re going. For example, a ticket from Seattle to Bainbridge Island is $9.85 USD one-way (no charge to return to Seattle if you\u2019re a pedestrian).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bike rental<\/strong> &#8211; Seattle is very bike-friendly. Seattle&#8217;s has three bike share programs through Lime, Bird, and Veo. Most bikes cost $1 USD to unlock and then the charge per minute varies by carrier and time of day, but is usually around $0.45 USD per minute. This is still going to be a much cheaper option than taking taxis everywhere. You can access all three through an app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Taxis<\/strong> &#8211; Taxis start at $2.60 USD, and then each miler after that is $2.70 USD. The flat rate taxi fare from the airport to downtown Seattle is $40 USD. If you&#8217;re on a budget, skip them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ridesharing<\/strong> &#8211; Uber and Lyft are cheaper than taxis and are the best way to get around a city if you don\u2019t want to take a bus or pay for a cab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Car rental<\/strong> &#8211; Car rentals can be found for around $45 USD per day for a multi-day rental. Unless you&#8217;re heading out on day trips though you won&#8217;t need a car.

The high season (summer) is over, so room rates have dropped and tourists have flocked elsewhere. It&#8217;s still warm, with temperatures averaging 60\u00b0F (15\u00b0C) and with less rainfall than spring. In September, you can check out the Italian and Aloha Hawaiian Cultural Festivals along with Oktoberfest. October brings the Earshot Jazz Festival, the Northwest Chocolate Festival, and both the Latino and Queer Film Festivals to the city. The Cloudbreak Music Festival happens in November along with the Seattle Marathon. If you want to enjoy the outdoor events, make sure to bring layers for the changing temperatures and weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, summer is a great time to visit if you don&#8217;t mind paying a little more for your room. It&#8217;s always warm, averaging about 75\u00b0F (23\u00b0C) and people are out enjoying the weather. There are always events and festivals going on too. You\u2019ll find a number of festivals celebrating cultural groups in the region, like the Pagdiriwang Philippine Festival and the Indigenous People Festival. The Day in Day Out and Chamber Music Festivals are both on in July. Foodies will enjoy the CHOMP! Local Food Festival and the Kirkland Uncorked Festival that happen in August.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spring is still a lovely time to visit when all the flowers and cherry blossoms begin to show. You can expect high temperatures between 54\u00b0F-64\u00b0F (14\u00b0C-18\u00b0C). Rain is likely, but the locals don\u2019t let that stop them. Just come prepared. The French and Irish Festivals happen in March and the Cherry Blossom Festival in April. There are more cultural festivals in May along with the Seattle International Film Festival and Seattle Maritime Festival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Winter is the coldest season, with high temperatures ranging from 46-50\u00b0F (8-10\u00b0C). The plus side? There are almost no tourists around! It gets dark early though (around 4:30 PM), so be prepared to do your outdoor activities early in the day. There\u2019s still plenty to do in the evenings though! The Argosy Christmas Ships Festival happens in December along with Winterfest and Garden d\u2019Lights. Because strong cultural presence of Asian communities in the area, Seattle puts on incredible Lunar New Year celebrations in February. The Northwest Flower and Garden Festival also happens during this time of year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No matter what time of year you visit, you&#8217;re likely to encounter some drizzle or rain. Pack some rain gear and a warm sweater.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"guide-block resources-block\"><h3 id=\"book\"><span>Seattle Travel Guide: The Best Booking Resources<\/span><\/h3><p>These are my favorite companies to use when I travel.
