It's not In'n'Out but it's a Seattle institution. You can't leave without getting Dick's. Don't even try ordering that burger custom, though. It comes as it says on the menu and there are no substitutions. Plus it's cheap.

Sightseeing
It's the most photographed thing in the Pacific Northwest. And you can get a stunning shot of it from my rooftop. Make sure you make a reservation to go to the top ahead of time. But did you know you could eat up there too?

Shopping
Because you came here to catch a fish and wait in the long line at the world's first Starbucks. You kind of have to go here at least once. I actually do a lot of my grocery shopping here, as do many locals.
