Okay so which month is this?
This is a great video. Thank you for sharing all these great tips!
Loveee ur smile❤️❤️
Are you at Seattle now because my grandma lives there now 😊
Coming back to this video after 3 years !
Are you from Philipines?
This was such an amazing video one of the best travel videos I’ve seen! you answered all my questions and more, thank you!❤
moving to seattle
my third choice behind SF and hawaii
i COULD make hawaii work but itd be a risk
and im not rich so SF is out for now 😭😭😭
You should visit waterfall Parkin Pioneer Square, the birthplace of UPS or visit ACT theatre , housed in the original Eagles auditorium. If you are culturally inclined there is the Fifth Avenue theatre, birthplace of the musicals Hairspray and Aladdin
As someone who grew up here, don't let the fear mongerers scare you from coming here. Yes, there are a lot of homeless and yes some of them openly do drugs. I'm gonna guess this happens in all the major cities in the U.S. BUT there are also many police, security and ambassadors to help people with safety issues, directions, food recommendations, etc, etc…
What is a starboard side?
you lost me at Starbucks !
I’ve been living in Seattle for 10 years now, and I do NOT recommend the Gum Wall. It’s nasty and it smells terrible down there.
Where were you before coming to Seattle?
Kelly. I love your video. I'll be visiting Seattle this coming Saturday 🎉.. looking forward to visiting lots of places you suggested ❤🎉 thank you so much
I wish mentioned about best places to stay.. as someone new to seattlr😊 trying a solo trip
Great video hitting the highlights of Seattle.
thank you! loved all the recs, I am more excited to go now 💞
Pie bar is good, but it’s not as good as it was when it first opened. ❤
