As a Seattle native, we are known for our coffee and I promise Starbucks isn't the best place to get coffee here! Try Allegro in U-District, Espresso Vivace in Capitol Hill, or Cafe Ladro by the Convention Center. It makes me sad when I see these videos of people recommending visiting Starbucks when coming to Seattle when we have so many good local small cafe's that have way better coffee :(

A lot of these food spots were tourist spots BUT many are still worth it. I thought the dessert list was better than the food list. Bar hopping in Belltown is fun and there's great food there. Bangrak for Thai, Roccos for pizza, and right now on Thursdays Screwdriver Bar has different restaraunt popups serving food. Unicorn Bar is in Capitol Hill and I don't recommend it on a weekend cause of the line/wait for drinks. I'd go to that bar earlier in the day (I think they open at 4?) on a weekday.

Excellent video! A few of my favorite places: - Fremont troll for photos :) - Reading room at the Suzzallo library at UW (open to the public, often tourists peek in to take photos) - Burke Gilman trail (hop on a bike, couple of breweries on the way) - International District (esp. Uwajimaya and the Kinokuniya book store) - University Village for a more typical shopping fix - Olympic Sculpture park (nice area for a walk or run)
