My wife [[Maddy McCrosky |Maddy]] and I compiled this list of some our favorite spots around Seattle. We originally wrote this for guests coming to our wedding reception in August 2022. All the info is presented "as is" - your mileage and enjoyment may vary! Apologies to all the other excellent restaurants and spots that didn't make the list - it's certainly not comprehensive. ## Areas to check out: [[Fremont]] [[Ballard]] [[Seattle Center]] ## Other Activities ### Green Lake <iframe src="https://www.google.com/maps/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d21490.73063562376!2d-122.33350399999999!3d47.6777908!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x54901414dad562fd%3A0xc942aafc8f01267c!2sGreen%20Lake%2C%20Seattle%2C%20WA!5e0!3m2!1sen!2sus!4v1656623309616!5m2!1sen!2sus" width="80%" height="300" style="border:0;" allowfullscreen="" loading="lazy" referrerpolicy="no-referrer-when-downgrade"></iframe> Excellent place to hike or walk around the 2.8-mile path ### Woodland Park Zoo <iframe src="https://www.google.com/maps/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d2686.8140749113218!2d-122.35299978437732!3d47.668608179188745!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x549014494aaed4c9%3A0x7c622dc1f941a8b2!2sWoodland%20Park%20Zoo!5e0!3m2!1sen!2sus!4v1656623289493!5m2!1sen!2sus" width="80%" height="300" style="border:0;" allowfullscreen="" loading="lazy" referrerpolicy="no-referrer-when-downgrade"></iframe> Very nice zoo - great for kids or adults.

This area gets busy but can be a super fun experience! Wind your way downstairs into the lower level and you'll find a quieter area filled with lots of cool shops.
