A soft activity guide for Seattle — ferry rides, local events, and underrated gems for solo travellers.
Seattle is full of small, good surprises — if you know where to look.
Here were my favourite soft-paced finds:
→ Pike Place Market — Come early for fresh flowers, live buskers, and local vendors. Avoid late evenings.
→ Ferry rides to nearby islands — My favorite way to reset. Affordable and scenic.
→ Lumen Field — If there’s an event, go. The energy is electric.
→ Gas Works Park — Peaceful in the day, magical at night. Underrated and worth it.
📌 Tip: Plan for daytime activities. I didn’t stay out past 6pm. The city’s energy shifts after dark — just something to be aware of.
