Off of the beaten path of the downtown Ballard scene. This magical place is perfect for a romantic dinner or a small party of people. Ask to sit out back if possible, you will feel like you have been transported to somewhere in Europe.

A "must see" when you're in Ballard. Watch the boats change elevation to move in and out of Lake Washington from Puget Sound. There's also a fish ladder that's very active during the salmon spawning season.

It goes without saying that you should visit Pike Place Market while you are in Seattle. A wonderful place to walk around and experience. Grab coffee at the original Starbucks and round out the day with a ride on the Great Wheel.
