Starbucks Reserve Roastery and Tasting Room

Starbucks Reserve Roastery & Tasting Room is located pretty close to Starbucks actual original location. It's a unique space with coffee roasting, food, cocktails and, of course, gourmet coffee.

Seattle Waterfront

We've put the "Seattle Waterfront" under the "neighborhoods" category here as we're not sure where else to put it.

We think of it more as an area or historic district.

The area has about 20 piers with shops, restaurants, and things to do.

Some of our many suggestions -- we don't dine there often anymore but spent enough time there growing up:

  • Go on the Seattle Great Wheel

  • Visit the Seattle Aquarium

  • Rent a bike

  • If you like oddities, visit the Old Curiosity Shop. This is now in a different location than when I was growing up, but it still has its mummies and other weird stuff.

  • Get fish and chips at Ivars

Pike Place Market

Seattle's Public Market is a popular stop for tourists -- and as a local, I love to go there as well...I just don't get there often anymore.

MoPop

Seattle's Museum of Pop Culture, now known as "MoPop," presents exhibitions on many aspects of pop culture, including animation, popular music, television, movies. Exhibits may vary.

It was built in 2000 and was initially founded by Paul Allen as the "Experience Music Project," no doubt in homage to Seattle's Jimi Hendrix. EMP eventually became MoPop and widened its focus to encompass more popular culture.

Architect Frank Gehry designed the structure with the intention of making it express "rock and roll" kind of like a guitar. {[{Personally, when it first went in, I thought it looked like a larger and more colorful version of the Queen Anne blob, which no longer exists. But it's grown on me.}]}

  1. I’m not adding this to the main post as it’s not in Washington State…but I’m hoping to get going with my rooftop tent this summer and take a drive down the Pacific Coast Highway…we’ll see. If I do, I may need to take a brief detour to visit this little Hobbit hole that I found in Northern California. It’s tiny at 300 feet…but the toadstool in front is a nice touch 🙂

  2. I don’t have any walking issues but I love trekking poles! So good for balance and stability. I’d always use two over one, as that way both sides are balanced. Once you get into a rhythm they also provide a good workout because of the muscles you use with them, so I definitely think they’re worth it (and that’s a good case for using two – you don’t want mismatched sides)

    Reply
    • Thanks for supporting my cause! Yes, I think they add to the workout — they give my upper body a bit extra when I use them (and it needs it!)

  3. Hi! I know some visitors here have been following comment updates on this post. I just realized that logged out users were being challenged by a CAPTCHA that was impossible to capture! That’s been fixed, and the persons responsible have been sacked (not really, because that would mean…me).

    Anyways, comments are working again if you feel like leaving a comment. If I find any more hobbit houses around here, I’ll add another one myself. I am planning a hobbit house visit myself in August, and, if that actually happens (it seems like I’ve had a confluence of events that seem determined to disrupt my plans), I will post an update.

    Thanks!

  4. It’s too bad we were not able to get this in the article but this Thursday, Friday & Saturday (15th, 16th & 17th) and the following Thursday, Friday & Saturday (22nd, 23rd & 24th) there are free performances of “William Shakespeare’s Long Lost First Play (abridged).” It’s a hilarious performance of young Shakespeare’s first attempt at a very very very long play.

    Tickets are FREE. Show is at the City of Shoreline City Hall. Starts at 7 p.m. Due to content, rated PG-13. Would love to have you.

    • Sounds great! Not sure I’ll be able to make it to the performance but I could add it to the event calendar when I’m back in town .

  5. The close-ups are helpful, thanks. But you have only fourteen kings listed here, not fifteen. I think it’s Stephen that you’re missing, after Henry I.

  6. What a lovely post, Cheryl! Really enjoyed reading about these famous graves, Chief Sealth, in particular. We haven’t been to Seattle in a long time. When we revisit, would love to add these destinations. Glad we found your blog! Will check other posts as well!!
    By the way, fantastic site design!!!

    • Thank you so much! I love visiting cemeteries — in Europe in particular, where there are much older graves. So you’re from the Bay Area? What cemeteries would you visit there? I just passed through SF this summer, but didn’t stop at any cemeteries in CA except for the one in Ferndale.

  7. Just a note: I realized after I wrote this that my daughter referred to MrCheckedBaggage in her text, implying that she did NOT go carry-on only. She intended to and Chester did, in fact, fit in the overhead bin just fine, but MrCheckedBaggage, a large suitcase, ended up accompanying them on their trip so she could take things her friend in France needed and also bring things home for her (along with some very nice gifts.)

    • I had a great time — very cold and rainy when I was there, but I was prepared! And, yes…very busy. I was there over a bank holiday weekend and it seems everyone goes to York to party.

    • Yeah, I like messing around with video, but I don’t necessarily putting my face and voice on things. I plan to do more video posts in the future…I just may not be in them as much as possible! ?

  8. Love reading about visitors’ experiences at Stonehenge! Always new things to discover and see this one-of-a kind adventure through other people eyes! Now wish we visited Woodhenge and Old Sarum during our tip to Stonehenge as well!

  9. There are 2 issues I have found after 2 years of using the Pro 2-3 time a week with carbon kayaks. First, the cheap material between each bar flattens and then your kayak is pressing on metal. Second, if you kayak rests on the two humps near where the pistons are they will dent your boat.

    Reply
    • Thanks, and good point! I’ve only been using the Hullavator with rotomolded plastic and thermoform kayaks and, so far, haven’t had issues. But I’m not a 2-3 times a week kayaker! For me, it was the easiest way I found to take the kayak out on my own.

  10. This was actually for something included only on Etsy NOT the embroidery file. But I’m leaving it here and marking it as completed to prevent it from re-importing from Etsy.

  11. This customer did NOT order this item…this imported as item did not exist on this site. Am leaving it here so it does not re-import the order.

  12. Actually ordered a different product on Etsy but was not in the sustem. Imported this instead so I left order in place so it would not re-import.

    Reply
  13. This was actually for another item. But didn’t have it on this website and it auto imported as the wrong product. Left this in place so that it will not re-import this order.
