An iconic place in Seattle - former Seattle Gas Light Company gasification plant. A great place to get a view of South Lake Union and Seattle downtown. My personal go-to for a short walk and Seattle view.

Kayaking, paddle boarding or sailing on SLU is my personal favorite way to explore Seattle. Rentals are available nearby and there are a few airbnb experiences offer sailing from SLU to Lake Washington. Definitely try one of those, especially the sailing experience - seeing the bridge opens for me to pass through is just breathtaking!

Sightseeing
This is a must-go if you are first time in Seattle. You ll find the first Starbucks and the colorful (but gross) Gum wall there, along with fresh goodies and flowers. Spend a few hours walking and discovering - or maybe stay for a dinner show in the Cancan or Pink Door:)

Well - if you'd like to check out the touristy place, Space needle is another must-go for you. I've heard that the newly built glass floor is fancy (and scary) but haven't checked it out myself yet. I would highly recommend you to walk around in that area, giving the Chihuly Garden and Glass a shot, or maybe check out the museum of Pop Culture.

If you like ocean animals, you'll love this aquarium. They used to offer under the water aquarium doom breakfast on airbnb experience, but I can't find it any more (maybe they'll reopen that after COVID). I've learnt how they take care of the animals and the place, and am very impressed by their work.

Perfect place to meet your animal friends in Seattle. The zoo is perfect size with great vibe. It's also very close to Greenlake, if you are staying with us (great choice!). I love to go there occasionally to checkout their various exhibitions and have a mental talk with my giraffe friend:)
