Work Trip Turned Solo Adventure
My fiance was in Seattle for a week on a work trip, so I decided to crash it. While he was in meetings all day, I had the day to explore the city on my own. Having a detailed guide handy like this one really allowed me to get the most out of my quick trip! I was 100% impressed with every. single. foodie stop, brewery tour, and sights seen on this trip. Alia took it one step further with her mapped out sample itineraries showcasing all the different areas (fav part), and how to hit all the spots in the most convenient way. THANK YOU, Alia, for helping me scratch off this amazing city off my list. :)
