THE BEST tumeric latte (add some espresso to it) and the vegan oat bars will perfectly compliment a morning walk at Lincoln Park. If you're the luckiest person on earth, you may catch a glimpse of our fav local celebrity Eddie Vedder there.

การเดินทาง
The West Seattle bridge
The West Seattle bridge is under repair so going north is a little trickier than usual. I advise consulting Google maps before you depart in your car. You can always take the fast water taxi over then just scoot around downtown! A great way to experience the unique parts of Seattle.
สัมภาระที่ควรเตรียม
Always bring warm clothing, even in the summer!
It gets cold in the evenings almost year-round, especially if you’re not used to it. Always be prepared for weather, even if you've checked the weather!
วลีที่มีประโยชน์
Mountain's out!
If you have a clear day, you're sure to see a glimpse of the mountains. If you catch Rainier in the distance, be sure to say, "Mountain's out!". You'll sound like a local.

Ferries to the San Juan islands
If you're departing from here to check out the San Juans, be especially sure to get reservations well in advance. The ferries book up fast and you won't want to show up without a reservation (unless you plan to walk on (no car)). It's worth the journey - the islands are unbelievably beautiful.
