Great old home, converted to a coffee shop. One of my favorite places to have some quiet time. They often have performers and music in the evenings. They source their beans from lighthouse roasters, which has a very dark roast profile. Great mom & pop coffee shop.

An amazing Detroit style pizza experience. The owners are so much fun too. But they book out pre-orders months in advance. They do take a limited amount of walk-up traffic, but you have to show up at 4pm to put your name in in-person. Definitely worth it.

Beautiful views of Seattle, the Olympics, or just relax in the sand. This is one of our favorite places in Seattle. Also, a good number of restaurants and bars along the boardwalk. This is where Seattleites go for a quick getaway.

Hop a quick ferry ride over to Bainbridge and catch lunch in downtown Winslow. Plenty of cute shops, bakeries, and places to eat. The ferry ride is the best part though (35 min each way).
