There has always been a number of homeless people in the area, but it seems that it has changed from the usual crowd. I would also have mentioned downtown Seattle, but recently there has a been a change to the worse. A tripod, you camera with a wide lens and you are set, there is no reason why you want to look like a million in such places. A little word of caution, I do not recommend dragging all your photo equipment to the place, it is very dark and isolated. I got a few nice captures of the place in my blog post A good photograph is knowing where to stand. Forget a hotel 45 dollar fee for a glimpse of the Space Needle. It offers the complete skyline with Seattles most famous landmarks. The park at day if a OK place to visit for a little HDR venturing, but its full potential opens at night. I am of cause referring to the gas park of Seattle. It is a small cab fair from downtown, and offers some of the most spectacular views of Seattle at night. As a photographer I adore many of the places and the nature Seattle and surroundings has to offer. This topic is really difficult as Seattle is littered with American history and Surrounded with stunning Nature, plastered with landmarks, what should one choose. Its a small place, the tables and chairs is really uncomfortable but the food! the food is just unforgettable! Merguez and Spanish chorizo, if you are up for a quick lunch, which is a hell of an experience, then Uli’s Famous Sausage at the pike might be the place for you. One downside is the the parking, which seems hard to figure. Prompt and pleasant service, a wide variety (and growing!) of dishes, and at an incredible value. A good friend of mine took us there for some Dim Sum. Besides their usual fine selection of beers they are keen to feature special event editions which I never fail to enjoy while i am usually in Seattle for Halloween.Īnother place to-go is the House of Hong. They brew their own beer and its never a disappointment, especially their stout is a wonder of Seattle. I prefer Six Arms situated between the pike and the Capital Hill neighborhood. Thus their beer is good, it totally lacks any ambiance. It is not where I enjoy going, the Tap House “Grill” is like a hooters without the girls. This is a must-see if you are out, but not too late at night, the area is pestered with so many drunk annoying people, but in the daytime no worries at all.īeer is always good, and there is heaps of places where they serve good beer, the Tap House is for many people a first choice. And if that’s not enough, they have a hot dog stand in front that grills the dog and offers it “Seattle style” – grilled onions and cream cheese! Amazing. This is the kind of place where one walks up to a counter to order and they bring the food to your table on a tray and for 7 dollars you will have complete meal, and I swear its the best I had outside Grace. Mediterranean Mix, not exactly a high-end restaurant, this establishment is very lacking in ambiance, or to the money the place looks like a dump, the food on the other hand authentic Greek food when its at its best. You can eat for next to nothing, and with great authenticity. No doubt its easy to get high quality food at some amazing restaurants, yet there is some which has won my heart, places i visit every year as a tradition. I got no intent to describe every attraction of Seattle if you need that go get yourself a book □ this blog is about the little places I enjoy so much. However it is the those hidden, out-of-the-way gems that makes the visit to Seattle memorable. Visitors to Seattle know all about the Space Needle, fresh seafood on the waterfront and the world-famous Pike Place Market. It is a place i love to visit, and I get to go there every year while my work brings me to the #SQLSummit in the town. The city offers tons of diversity, in so many ways is the city different from other American cities.
