Seattle Vibes: A City With Small Town Charm

Seattle was my starting point on my second trip to America and it’s one hell of a place to start! Despite being quite a big city, parts of it had a small-town feel and I loved it! Here’s what I loved about Seattle: 1️⃣ Kerry Park - A small park at the top of some steep residential hills. The skyline views of Seattle are incredible from here. Also, the neighborhood is pretty affluent and beautiful to walk around. 2️⃣ Pike Place Market - An icon of Seattle and a must-see if you are visiting the city. You’ll be spoiled for choice when it comes to food and merchandise! 3️⃣ Bainbridge Island - A 35 minute ferry ride from downtown Seattle and you’ll find yourself in the peace and quiet of Bainbridge Island! There’s a quaint town full of shops and restaurants as well as many walking trails! As a bonus, the ferry ride from Seattle will give you spectacular views of the city! 4️⃣ City Walking - I love tackling cities on foot and Seattle is a great place to do this. As I mentioned, it has small-town feel and I loved discovering new streets and neighborhoods. Old brick buildings, trams, and hilly streets make Seattle a very picturesque city! 5️⃣ Chinatown - I live in Shanghai so I love visiting Chinatowns in other countries. Chinatown Seattle is by no means the best Chinatown I’ve been to but it’s worth a visit. Seattle is a pricy city and you’ll find yourself some cheap eats here. I managed to find breakfast steam-buns for 60c per bun! I hope you enjoy your time in Seattle as much as I did! #wanderlust #trip #travel #travelinspiration #city #citywalk #freehotelstay #architecture #america #usa #explore
