 at the Banks of Puget Sound by machomikemd
Seattle, the state's largest city, lies in the center of the Puget Sound region and sits between Elliot Bay and Lake Washington. Across the Sound is Bainbridge Island, the Kitsap Peninsula and Olympic Peninsula. To the east, and across Lake Washington, is Seattle's near neighbor Bellevue. The Puget Sound area offers a rich variety of vacation, recreational and holiday pursuits including big-city life, island retreats, cozy bed and breakfasts, romantic country inns and first class resorts. There is plenty of sightseeing, hiking, kayaking, and boating activities to keep in shape and make one wish for a longer Puget Sound holiday.

 Toss me some frites, Dave!! by davequ
I'm a sucker for this and I do it almost everytime I go down to the waterfront.
I hoof it down to Ivars by the ferry landing; go to the window outside and buy some fish & chips (they're good by the way) and then duck out back (see photo) where all the gulls hang out.
I like to toss "chips"/fries straight up in the sky (not over my head, however) and watch the gulls glide & catch 'em in mid-air. I am easily amused.
I have heard horror stories about getting bombed by giant greasy gobs of gull guano
(too much alliteration),
but I have been lucky so far.
And I'm not sure I agree with what the sign says in the picture. I have never had the pleasure of meeting a "dainty" eating gull in my life.
Don't be self conscious, be a shameless goofy tourist like me and go feed the gulls @ Ivars. It's fun. Leave a Comment Address: Pier 54Phone: (206) 624-6852Directions: Pier 54 on waterfront. I don't know if Ivars really has an address other than Pier 54, but it's easy to find, right on the water on Alaskan Way by Spring St. click HERE for Directions & mapWebsite: http://www.ivars.net/Acres_Home/acres.html

It is nice to walk around the Waterfront because there are so many things to see. If you don't like to spend money but get the most of your visit in Seattle, just head down to the Waterfront. You can have a great view of the Puget Sound - you will see the ferry boats come and go to the different islands. Also, there are some stuffs to see there like the Seattle Aquarium, The Argossy Cruises, the Pirates Plunder, the Fisherman's Wharf, the Miner's Landing, the Crab Pot, array of restaurants and souvenir shops. There is also an antique stores. Address: Waterfront (Alaskan Way/Pike Place MarketDirections: Front the Pike Place Market, go down towards the water.

Green Lake is located in the northern part of Seattle in, guess where?, the Green Lake area. It is a great place to go for a walk, jog, rollerblade, or bike. A 2.8 mile trail goes around the lake, with one lane for bicycles/rollerbladers and one for walkers and runners. It can get crowded on one of the 10 days that the sun actually shines in Seattle but is still worth it.
There is a lot of parking around the perimeter of the lake, although we tend to go to the northern edge. There are basketball courts, baseball diamonds, playgrounds, and ltons of green space for having a picnic as well.

Head north to the city of Everett where we boarded a day long whale watching tour. Over 80 Orcas whales — 3 families — live in the waters surrounding the Island of San Juan. Free Willy was filmed here. Orcas have complex social behaviors and are magnificent mammals. After seeing them in the wild, you will never visit another Seaworld.

Go to Green Lake on a Sunday. It's a great place to get introduced to rollerblading.
