Seattle Travel Tips: 8 Things to Know Before You Go
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 ก.ย. 2019
- Everything YOU need to know before you travel to Seattle Washington. With a population of 750,000, Seattle is located in the Pacific Northwest. Surrounded by water, evergreen forests, and mountains. The official nickname for Seattle is Emerald City, for all the trees. Also known as the Gateway to Alaska because it’s the closest big US city to Alaska. A major departure point for Alaska cruises. Seattle is home to major US companies like Microsoft, Amazon, Costco, and Formerly Boeing. Seattle is the birthplace of many iconic music acts like Jimi Hendrix, Nirvana, and Pearl Jam. Seattleites have a rep for being cold and standoffish. It's known as the Seattle Freeze.

2 - Weather
150 days of rain a year, with an average rainfall of 37 inches. It's generally not a huge downpour, but more of a steady drizzle. Make sure to bring a raincoat and umbrella.. Although you generally wont see the locals using an umbrella, just a raincoat. And if it's not raining, it's usually cloudy. Don't expect blue skies and sun here. Cloudy 201 days out of the year and partly cloudy 93 days. Winter is quite cold. Averages about 5 inches of snow per year.. If its snowing, don’t plan on going much of anywhere. The city mostly shuts down.
3 - Getting in
Flying in you’ll likely land at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SeaTac for short)
Home to Alaska Airlines
Take the light rail in to downtown. Takes approximately 40 minutes from the airport to downtown.
Amtrak trains
Coast Starlight from LA via Portland
Cascades runs from Vancouver, through Seattle, to Eugene Oregon
Empire Builder comes in all the way from Chicago
Driving in, it’s about 3 hours from Portland or Vancouver
4 - Getting around
Lots of water around. Which makes getting around slow.
Seattle traffic is awful.. I personally still get a rental car.
Don't want to rent one for the whole trip? Use Car2Go.
Seattle has one light rail line. Trains arrive every 6 to 15 minutes.
2 street car lines. Fares are $2.50 for adults.
1 Monorail line, from Westlake Center to Seattle Center. It’s a 2 minute ride for $2.50
Lots of bus lines too.
Oh and I mentioned water.. There’s also water taxis, and ferries.
Uber and Lyft are plentiful
Walking is the best way to get around.. but it's quite hilly. Maybe even more so than San Francisco. So bring your hill climbing shoes.
5 - Food
Just like NYC, Seattle has lots of very good restaurants, but they are expensive. Known for seafood. Locally caught Salmon and Crab. Shellfish, oysters.
Eat a Geoduck (gooey-duck) Clam, native to Washington. Popular in Asian cuisine.. 50% of all geoducks get exported to China. somewhere between "chewy clam and a tender abalone, though crisper in texture than either”
Seattle hot dog.. with grilled onions Cream Cheese
Fast food of choice is Teriyaki
Adding to Seattle’s well-known hipster status it has a wide variety of micro-breweries. Over 200 breweries
6 - Coffee
Seattlite love coffee, and coffee shops. The coffee shop is like an extension of most people's homes, they study, they meet people, oh, and they drink some coffee.
Starbucks started in Seattle. There are more Starbucks per person in Seattle than in any other city. In Pike Place they call it the original.. But the original one is no more. If you are a fan of Starbucks visit their flagship Starbucks Reserve Seattle Roastery on Capitol Hill.
Bikini Baristas started in Seattle too.
7 - Hotels
I think the best place to stay is in the heart of downtown. Then you won’t have to fight traffic, or deal with the lousy public transit because you can walk to most things. Expensive during the weekend. Try visiting on the weekend when all the business folks are gone.
Want something a little quieter? Try the Queen Anne Neighborhood by the space needle. Still close, and probably a bit cheaper. Just not in the middle of it all.
Bainbridge Island for cheaper hotels
It's a 35 minute ferry ride in to Seattle for a cheap $8 round trip.
Or even around Seatac Airport
8 - Big attractions
Pike Place Market, Seattle Space Needle, the Waterfront.

In planning my FIRST trip to Seattle I watched tons of Seattle tourism/info videos. Yours is the best. Kudos sir.
Seeing your videos really inspires me and raises my spirits that I’ll be able to travel again one day.
Thanks QB3!
The weather in the summer is just about perfect not too hot (75 degrees) compare to other areas. In the winter it never gets very cold high 40’s but it does get dark early with short days because of it’s northern location (opposite in the summer with long days). As far as attractions you didn’t mention the Museum of Flight (almost as good as the Smithsonian) and the Glass Museum as they are rank high with the Pike Place Market.
That weather is a dream!!! The south has me wanting to move as soon as possible!
@@cherish3125 wow this guy sucks
I am a seattle local, I would say that the more so average temp in the summer is more like 80-85 but not humid.
I was born and raised in Seattle now live 30min outside of Seattle. ❤😃
If you’re at the Space Needle make time to visit the Chihuly Glass Garden, the Music Project museum and the Children’s museum if you have little ones with you. Seafood? He left out Dungeness crabs, Quilcene oysters, salmon and many other seafood that originates here in Washington. Also the weather is great in July and August, as well as September.
What about in April??
@@jenniferrsn In April the weather is usually rainy and cool, although we do get some nice sunny days.
What about June? Planning to go there in June but seems like September is a better time? Thanks in advance!
@@sunnytsn6073 it kind of depends on the weather pattern each year. Some years June is rainy and we even have a name for it, “June Gloom”. The other thing that’s commonly said is summer really arrives right after the 4th of July. September is almost always beautiful, it tends to be warm and dry.
I’ve visited Seattle last year and again this year (2019). If you are staying in downtown Seattle I recommend NOT renting a car and just using Lyft or Uber. I rented a car my first time going and it was a waste of money for sure. We only drove it from the airport to the hotel and back. The food was really good. My favorite place to eat was Zeke’s pizzeria. I went both times for Labor Day weekend. The weather around that time was perfect!
I'll have to check out Zeke's next time! Thanks for the tip!
Thomas Wright no hate taken over here! I should’ve said that I’m a pizza lover and that place was really good and the drinks were very good too. I tried other places like woody’s and biscuit bitch but Zeke’s stood out to me the most. I’ll have to try the places you mention the next I make it out there 😄
Yellow Productions I’m so glad you made this video. I really enjoyed being in Seattle and I wanted to know your take on it 😄
Hello planning to go , what Hotel did you stay in ?? And everything close to it? Thanks
Very nice video..thanks so much!!!
Thank you too!
I love the name Seattle
Love the Pacific Northwest. I haven't been to Seattle in a long time, but your video makes me want to get back there asap! Thanks for the great tips!
My husband and I recently have taken cruises to Alaska from Seattle and Vancouver. Seattle, the homeless were a surprise that they are allowed to TENT or hangout in front of hotels, stores, restaurants, supermarkets and along sidewalks/highways. They didn't bother us, but we were unprepared seniors (68 & 80). We would not walk around or go out at night...UBER everywhere. I took the Boeing tour and the guide said 1,000 people a WEEK move to Seattle. The Tech companies are raising the rents, so previous tenants end up evicted/vacating with no where to go but the street. Cops are not allowed to harass. 3 cruise ships a day fund the Pike Market. My family lived in Seattle in the 1980's. Washington is a beautiful state. Sorry for this comment, but travelers must know their surroundings. That is one reason I look on youtube for current travel advice. Chris, you are always realistic/honest with your advice. Thank you...much appreciated.
Thanks Michele!
Theyres homeless in tents in Alot of cities now... Portland Los Angeles new Orleans NYC Chicago
@@michaelsuzio4364 Oh, so I guess that makes it OK, right?
THANK YOU FOR THE AWESOME INFO.
This was the most informative seattle video ive watched! loved it, thanks so much
Thank you for making sure people call it PIKE Place Market. I actually clapped when you said that. 🤣 I've watched so many of your other videos and finally found this on on my birth-city. Good job on the highlights!! I'd also point out we pronounce it I-vers, not I-vars. And the Space Needle is 605 feet. I interned there, so I do love it, but another good view is from the Columbia Tower. Less expensive and higher up!! 900 feet!! Another whacky place to check out is Archie McFee's - all sorts of strange gags and gifts. A famous burger stop that Seattleites hold sacred is Dick's Burgers (our equivalent of LA's In-n-Out.) Take the water taxi from the DT Seattle side over to Alki and eat at Marination right at the water taxi dock. SO GOOD and then you can take amazing photos of Seattle from across the water.
The best view of Seattle IS from a distance.
i loved the Museum of Pop culture when i was in seattle, and of course, the coffee :D
I'll have to check out that museum next time Jay! Thanks for the tip!
I love all the info you always give us, Awesome video. Thanks a lot!💜💜💜
Thanks Hildiana!
Once again another fantastic video to help us out, thanks
Thanks Helen!
We were there for a day in May, the weather was perfect. As usual some great information Chris, we will be back in Seattle at the end of a cruise in 2021.
When we went to Seattle we did not do our due diligence on transportation from the airport to downtown and we got an expensive taxi. Thanks for the info on the light rail.
Thanks 😊😘 for your wonderful video n helpful commentary..God 🙏🙌 bless you
That's true about the rain. It's cheaper to stay in Sea Tac, take the rail into the city.
That’s why I love Chicago. The blue line is right under o’hare and I don’t have to get a taxi or Uber. Glad to know Sea-Tac is the same.
Another great video Yellow.
Thanks again!
you're welcome@@YellowProductions
Late spring, all summer, and very early autumn tend to be sunny and lovely. Winters are actually pretty mild most years. As you mentioned, Sept. is a GREAT time to come visit.
This video was great! It mentioned some things I would not have realized. Thanks!
Thanks Veronica!
Great video on Seattle ! You give so much wonderful information, lucky you got a sunny day to film. The Gum wall so gross haha! Enjoyed this video. Thanks Chris
Thanks Colleen! The Gum wall is gross! I wonder about the people who actually put their gum on that wall
Great video!
You are the best! Thank you so much for all the info! 🙌🙏🏼
Thanks Aline!
THANKS FOR THE INFO
I thought this was a great video! I went to Seattle before I saw this video. I pretty much did everything that you suggested!! I thought you nailed it!! Keep up the good work!!
Thanks John!
always good stuff - trip coming up and this was a good refresher.
Thanks Garsu!
great video. very helpful!
Thanks Brunella!
Great tips! Thanks!
Thanks Amy!
This is the most informative and enjoyable travel video I’ve ever seen. 😄
Thanks so much Maria!
Extremely good video thank you
Thanks Sarmiento!
Been to Seattle many times I've always stayed in Bellevue different vibe then drive to Seattle, there a lot to do for everyone
Good review
Seattle has less homeless and crime than San Francisco. It actually feels pretty safe at night in downtown. Just don’t go outside downtown at night. During day time, it’s very safe. There will be homeless people playing instruments near Pike Place Market, but not as much drug addicts than SF. Seattle is a fairly pretty and nice in City. It’s one of the safest large cities in America. Just still be aware of your surroundings, don’t leave things in your car, and you’re all set to enjoy Seattle. (And Washington)
Property crime is the only thing I'd be worried about (leaving things in the car in particular) - any sort of violent crime is very rare even at night outside of downtown/Capitol Hill..
Appable yes. Seattle is a great city.
Seattle is extremely dangerous at night... what are y'all talking about?
@@cjcj6945 Extremely dangerous? Based on what? Certainly not violent crime metrics
@@AmbientMorality come on... be truthful🤨
This was very helpful. Thanks
Thanks MrzRabbit
Love your videos Always wanted to go to Seattle thanks for the info
It is I am kinda there
Please Watch the TH-cam video "Seattle is Dying" and it will Open Your Eyes about what Seattle is All about.
Thanks Rodney!
Great video! Moving to Seattle in a few weeks.
If you’re serious, feel free to reach out to me if you want info on neighborhoods, and areas. I love my State but Seattle has changed and not for the good. Make sure you know what and where you’re going to live before moving or you make have regrets.
We love new comes, just want to make sure you have a good experience. 👍
@@nae1777 Hi, I'm planning to come this summer from abroad, for tourism, which areas you would say I should avoid, whether within downtown or outskirts (i.e. Redmond)..
So informative!!!!! Thank you for your informaiton.
Thanks Gayle! Glad it was helpful!
You did a great job on this video.
Thanks PrinceCity!
A really great review of the city with great commentary. I'll let you know what I think of it more after I go there next year :)
Thanks Hannah!
Did you go??
Very informative video for my first trip to Seattle! Thank you!
Thanks Mrs!
@@YellowProductions I extended my stay because I got a ticket to the All Star Game tomorrow night! ⚾️ 🎉
Great video, very informative. Good to know about the jaywalking too!
Thanks ThisisA!
very interesting! showing the destination on the map is a great thing!
I hope you make a video on Stockolm and Sweden!
Thanks Harvey!
Your videos are very informative and to the point. We are heading to Seattle/Vancouver in June and to Tokyo/Kyoto in November.
Thanks Dipti!
I have lived in the Seattle area for almost 50 years. NEVER stay near the airport. (Unless crackheads and prostitutes are your scene...)
You mean Pioneer Square???? I stay by the Airport cause it's easy to get into the City on Light Rail if I want to deal with the Homeless Hordes in Downtown which make Seattle a Beautiful City suck! So much easier to avoid the Homeless Drug Addicts and Panhandlers staying out of the Downtown area! Hope you clean up your city someday but I seriously doubt that will ever happen cause you're just too COOL!
Pac highway is bad.
@@brucebaker3523homeless drug addicts and panhandlers? I think you described just about every major downtown area in the country lol
@@MotorCityPhoenix313 Every major city is run by democrats so it goes without saying they are shitholes!
I love crackheads and prostitutes..What are u talking bout
great video
Thank you
Thanks Dmitry!
Very informative!!
Thanks Del!
great info sir
Seattle resembles San Francisco because it is one of the hilliest large cities in the U.S. and the saltwater of Puget Sound resembles the Bay (with a lot more trees). Summer is dry. If Seattle had its July and August rainfall throughout the year, it would be a desert.
nice video. the summer crowd comes from Vegas for sure. Thanks
I could see Seattle being a great place in the Summer for Nevada residents.. I'd want to leave that heat too! :)
Thank you sir !
It’s my home town! Rain isn’t that bad 😀 Seattle summer is pretty fantastic: sun out, water views, mountains can’t beat it
How is Seattle in winter ? December January ?
Ive been to Seattle before! it's a great place to visit and has lots of attractions. Im so glad that I only live a few hours away in Vancouver BC :D
Vancouver is one of my FAVORITE cities!
i lived ther during the '80s and was very impressed with the metro bus system.
great video. I plan on doing the Twin Peaks (tv show) tour which actually does its pick up and drop offs in seattle so im gonna look at staying there as a base. As a uk tourist, it looks like there is more than enough to keep me occupied for a week :)
I lived near I luv teriyaki and mikou teriyaki was hands down my favorite teriyaki place. Get the general tsos there. Also katsu burger is a couple buildings down from I luv teriyaki. That place is fantastic
Hey Chris. Where going thanksgiving weekend 2022. Can’t wait. Watching your vid to prep
Awesome Traveling Foodies! Looking forward to some foodie reviews!
I’m going in 2 weeks can’t wait
Enjoy Seattle Vinnie!
Hi Chris. Thank you for another very informative video. Keep up the good work. Take care and have a great weekend.
Thanks James! You have a great weekend as well!
Chris, excellent video - I do appreciate your insight into the cities you visit. I just watched your Singapore video, and having recently returned from touring that city I can agree with your selection of highlights and opinions. As a native Seattle resident, I would add that the Museum of Glass at the foot of the Space Needle is a can't miss attraction. I'm not a big fan of glass, but the Chihuly experience is something you won't see anywhere else. Also, time permitting, Seattle is one city worth seeing from the water - either on an Argosy cruise ship (90 minute tour) or from a Washington State Ferry.
Thanks for the tip on the museum of glass Sato!
It is a good video if you are ignorant of the idiosyncrasies' of a city, OK as an introduction.
Tip number 1: Use uber/Lyft because parking is outrageous. Tip number 2: you will come across homeless people yelling at a street lamp; 99 percent of the time they are harmless but don’t chance it. Don’t make eye contact and walk around. Tip number 3: this guy is absolutely correct NO ONE uses umbrellas. Everyone wears Northface so if you want to blend in there you go.
Thanks for the local tips
Thank you
The Bainbridge Island ferry was amazing..as was Bainbridge. And that's where you get the best view of downtown Seattle in my opinion
Just catching up with the older videos that I had missed. Looks like the last time I visited Seattle I did everything right. 😄
Right on :)
Just left Seattle to move to South Carolina. Love the weather and the people in Charleston but I admit to being a tad homesick.
PS Portland has a rivalry with us, not the other way around. They hate us cuz they ain't us!
Also, the bus system in King County leaves CARTA way behind. I will never bitch about Seattle's bus system again. I got spoiled.
Also also, the Starbucks in the Market is NOT the original. The original burned down in the 70s. The original owner and staff moved from Western Ave. to the current location which is the oldest but NOT the first. Sorry.
I was born in Seattle and I noticed that yes, we do have a lot of teriyaki joints but close 2nd in my opinion is Pho
Lol the part about the chewing gum was hilarious
Amazing Video ! 👏🏼👏🏼
Seattle is the best place here, thanks for sharing! 😃👍
Thanks Jade!
Lets keep traveling
EVERY TIME I TRAVEL, I have to see Yellow Productions lol. Traveling to Seattle tomorrow!
Nice! Enjoy Seattle!
Eat at Premier Meat Pies right by the curiosity shop! Some of the best food I've ever had!. I miss Seattle so much 😢
I have a tip you could add.. It's about TIPS.. many Seattle restaurants will include gratuity in the paycheck so don't just automatically pay gratuity especially at nicer restaurants.
Thanks for the tip on tips Gavin!
hi friend..i am joko from indonesia
i am following your channel..
you have presented usefull informations for trip in usa
i love it and its very full entertainments ❤❤❤
Thanks Joko!
What an amazing video as always my friend, enjoyable and fantastic! Hope my videos will have the same quality one day!
Aww... thanks Bangkok Walks!
Mt.Rainier is my mountain. They had commercial about Rainier beer. A bank had Bigfoot for a spoke person.Capt.Ivbar is the best seafood for their clam chowder. I would ride the monorail to the Space Needle. Love that town.
Thanks
You're welcome :)
omg ty so much. yea im going to seattle in just a few days. sucks that it will be hard to find free parking
New York City gets more rain. August is when the locals schedule their hiking, camping, reunions, BBQs, and other activities that depend on good weather for success. Seattle does not get as cold as 5 degree wind chill like the MidWest or Northeast. Walking in Seattle can cause 'hairline babe fractures' because so much of it is up and down hills? Best to wear fine walking shoes that are well cushioned.
Ivar's is a classic. He used to pay for the annual 4th of July 4th fireworks. Not having family, Ivar have his multi restaurant business to the two largest State University Business graduate degree programs as management training facilities. University of Washington is one and if I remember correctly, Eastern Washington or Western Washington State University is the other.
The Rail is good, but it's hardly the best airport transportation option in major US cities. The Metro in DC, Philly, and Atlanta all have a stop inside the terminals. The light rail is at least .50 mile walk from your arrival gate. That's a lot if you have luggage and kids to drag along.
Underground parking at pike market place is a nice because theres security generally circulating around there 24hrs a day. We parked there to prevent break ins since i saw a reddit post on how common it is over there.
Edited to improve details*
Hi Chris, hey thank you for all your videos they’re amazing and I’ve watched most of them....I have a question, I’ve watched this video probably five times now and I’m still not sure where to stay when I go to Seattle? We booked a trip for 8 days but then changed our mind and we’re only gonna stay for the weekend and that should be enough! Wondering, about the car rental situation and where to stay and oh by the ways? We are absolutely scared to go, we’ve watched a lot of Seattle video and none of them are really not giving us any relief being there. So we’re scared!!!!! What do you recommend, and yes I’m watching this video again? Thnx so much
If you're just there for the weekend. Stay downtown... no rental car. 2 hotels I've stayed at and enjoyed are the Marriott Waterfront, and the Hyatt at Olive 8.
I recommend you stay out of Seattle city proper and enjoy the surroundings. DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT GO DOWNTOWN.
any CVPR people looking at this?? hahaha see you there in June
what hotels do you recommend near the cruise port???
Seattle is so lovely 💜💙
I watched your san fran vid. This the first one that popped up when i typed in seattle. I wanna go February 2022
Follow up. The Traveling Foodies will be in Seattle thanksgiving 2023. Any tips?
It's definitely a lot to do
When you say September is the best time to visit, is there much rain in september? i dont mind odd showers but dont fancy spending a full holiday during the wet season lol,
@Flint Ah brilliant, thank you for the info, much appreciated. Id be looking at September time when im eventually able to go :)
It doesn't happen very often, but Seattle and other spots in Washington state can reach triple digit temperatures in the summer time. It has the last few years for a few days. And unlike Las Vegas, it's a very humid heat, so if you're in Seattle or other parts of Washington state during a heatwave, it would be best to have working A/C.
Ok I can’t let this one slide, even though the old joke is to tell people not to come to Seattle.
This really isn’t that accurate. Seattleites would consider 90°F a *very* hot day. We had a heat wave a couple years ago which hit 105°F, and it was so unusual that it hit national news.
During a typical summer (even in the last few years) you should expect highs of 85°F, with an **absolute peak** of 95°F. However, the thing to remember is that even in the middle of summer it’s typical for the temp to drop to the low 70s at night. As soon as the sun goes down, so does the heat.
And while OP is correct to note that it’s not a *dry* heat, but it’s also not anywhere close to the humidity you’d expect in the South, or even in places like New England. Our humidity is backwards: the winters are relatively wet and the summers are relatively dry.
Haha ha. Olympia is the capital of Washington state.
Thanks for the correction :)
And its a Shit hole 2
😭😭
Wow
Very interesting ab the teriyaki and the bikini baristas. Didn’t know those things. Leaving today going NY -> Seattle and excited
Have fun!
Can’t wait for the NHL to arrive in Seattle in a couple of years.
Thank you. I will be visiting for 2days. Should I rent a car?
“Caveman” in Kent, WA, has some of the best BBQ in the US, hands down.
Thanks for the tip on the Caveman! I love BBQ.. MMMM
