Local tip for your visit

If you want to see Seattle from a unique angle that gets strong reviews, consider a kayak trip on Lake Union during late spring or early fall. The calm water and fewer bugs make it especially pleasant then. It’s a favorite among locals who want a quieter way to experience the city skyline and nearby neighborhoods like Eastlake. Bringing your own waterproof jacket is a good idea since Seattle weather changes quickly. This activity tends to get top marks from travellers who appreciate the mix of light exercise and cool city views without the crowds you find downtown.
