Exploring The Pacific Northwest
Hey Y’all! Sorry that we took a little break from the blog and our YouTube channel last week. We have been so busy with traveling and working on last minute things for our secret project. We just got back to NYC last night, so we thought we would start today off with a little recap of our trip to Seattle.
We spent our entire first day exploring everything around Pike Place Market. We visited the Original Starbucks, walked around the market, admired all of the flowers (FYI they are so cheap), put some gum on the infamous gum wall, and went out to the pier. Our last stop before heading to dinner was to Storyville coffee which was highly recommended to us. We were blown away by this area in Seattle, we absolutely loved it! I would honestly move there for the flowers and the coffee alone!

We tried to visit the Space Needle this night, but it was completely booked, so pro tip book your ticket in advance! We decided to take a little walk around the park by the space needle instead before dinner. If you want to see everywhere that we ate look out for Ashley’s post coming this Wednesday about everywhere that we ate in Seattle!

Day two I faced my fear of heights and went to the top of the Space Needle and stood on the revolving glass floor. It was such a cool experience but also completely terrifying for someone who has a fear of falling and heights. We also visited the Chihuly Museum and the Museum of Pop Culture. We decided to tackle them all in one day because it was raining, but we didn’t feel rushed. It was the perfect amount of time to see everything that we wanted to see.

On our way back to our hotel we popped into the Amazon Go store to see how it worked. It’s crazy what they can do with technology these days. You scan your Amazon Go app when you walk in and it detects everything that you pick up. Then you just walk out! That’s it! How crazy right!?

You can read about most of day three on wednesday, but we went to the Starbucks Reserve Roastery. It was actually one of our favorite things from the entire trip! 3 words: Whiskey Cold Brew. After eating and drinking everything at the roastery we had to pop into Nordstrom, for obvious reasons, then we packed up the car and headed on a 2.5 hour road trip to Portland!
