Things To Do
Juanita Bay Park
This was our second date spot and where we first started holding hands :) If you go, you might recognize we took our engagement photos at this park too! This beautiful park is a short walk from our condo. We've enjoyed many visits here for the great views and the birds.
The Museum of Flight
This is one of our favorite museums (especially Alex's favorite XD) It's a huge museum with lots of very cool aerospace artifacts. If you're interested aerospace, we recommend you check it out!
Lake Wilderness Arboretum
This public arboretum is right next to the Lake Wilderness Lodge! When we toured Lake Wilderness Lodge back when we hadn’t picked a venue yet, we walked around this arboretum and fell in love with the place. The trees and flowers around the park are beautiful! If you end up arriving early for the wedding and are looking to pass the time, or need a little breather, we recommend going for a stroll at this arboretum.
Pike Place Market
This is one of the iconic spots in Seattle! With a vendor for nearly everything imaginable, there is plenty to see and do at the market. It's also a short walk from the Seattle waterfront if you're looking for more fun activities in the downtown area. Even as locals to the area, we still enjoy looking through the stalls and shops to find gifts for loved ones!
Saint Edward State Park
This is an urban gem if you're looking for some time out in nature but don't want to get too far from the city! We love going for nature walks or short hikes here to spend some time in a forest. If you have more time and are feeling adventurous, there are also many other hikes within a couple hours drive of the area.
