Eating Your Way around Seattle
I have been fortunate enough to visit Seattle, Washington twice in my life. Both times I ate so much I nearly rolled home to my hotel at night. The second time we cleverly booked a hotel with a courtesy shuttle. Perfect, eat too much and call for assistance.
Of course it is a foody heaven at the Pike Place Market, infamous for fish throwing, fresh produce and organic goodies. Love a bit of World Spice and Chukar Cherries.
Famous chef Tom Douglas has a plethora of restaurants to visit, Serious Pie for gourmet pizzas, Lola, Dahlia Lounge and Bakery for to-die-for Doughnuts, Palace Kitchen, Etta’s for famous seafood and the others.
One of my favourite places is Purple, for its wine tasters and great deserts, with a gorgeous wine bottle staircase. And French cuisine at RN74.
One of the best ways to get a taste of the city (pun intended) is to do a food tour with Savor Seattle. The Pike Place Market tour is great and last time I did the Booze’n’Bites tour; snacks and alcohol on a weekday afternoon – delightful!

These are lovely photos of Pike Place Market. They made me miss living in Seattle. There is so much more to eat too, like Mario Batali’s family restaurant in Pioneer Square, Thai Tom’s in the U District, and Mighty-O Donuts. Somethings for next time…
Thanks for the comment.
Yes I agree, Seattle has great food and a great culinary culture, definitely one of my favourite places in the USA!
