Sightseeing

The Ravenna Park Bride is pedestiran & bike-only, steel, lattice-arched bridge built in 1913. It spans the ravine in Seattle's Ravenna Park, a mile-long wooded wonderland that feels nothing like it's in the city. The bridge was designed by Frank M. Johnson and is listed in the National Register of Historic Places and is a designated city landmark. A serene place to watch the sunrise or sunset, the top of the bridge looks down on acres and arces of mature spruce, doug fir, tamarack and deciduous trees below. If you have time, be sure to check out Ravenna Park below and Third Place Books & Cafe or The Pub at Third Place Books on 20th Ave and NE 65th, just up the hill.

Parks & Nature

Ravenna Park comprise 50 acres of contiguous forested green space in the Ravenna neighborhood of Seattle. The park encompasses a mile-long, heavily wooded ravine through which Ravenna Creek flows. It's a lovely place to explore anytime of year, however I think it's particularly stunning in the fall with acres of mature vine maple, oak, birch, tamarack, and dogwood. It can get a bit muddy in the rainy season so be sure to wear good shoes and bring your phone for Instagramming!

Green Lake is one of Seattle's most beloved parks. Its expanse of water and green space in the center of a dense urban neighborhood draws thousands of people daily from all over the city. The park serves as a natural preserve for hundreds of species of trees and plants, as well as numerous birds and waterfowl. The newly reconstructed 2.8-mile path around the lake provides a perfect recreational spot for runners, bikers, skaters and walkers. My favorite thing to do at Green Lake is to grab coffee and watch sun rise from the west shore line near the Green Lake Crew rowing center.

The Neptune Theatre is an iconic Seattle venue known primarily for live music. It opened in 1921 and the interior features a nautical theme, with a central concession stand shaped like a boat, marble finishes, and statues of Neptune. As a multi-use arts venure, a variety of shows and events can be seen at the Neptune.

Food Scene

BOL reminds me of a bohemian cafe in Booklyn, Portland, or Japan. It's a lively Vietnamese joint often filled with locals in-the-know getting Pho, Bánh mì or a Vietnamese vermicelli bowl (a.k.a. “Bún”). They have wonderful bespoke drinks, including the "Nguyen" - whiskey, ginger, mint and lime, and their Truffle Garlic Fries are to die for. Best part - entrees are $8-$14!
