Easy weekday adventure. Beautiful views of the Olympic Mountains and the Seattle skyline.

Although weekend sails are available, this is one of the best ways to get a mid-week fresh air fix in Seattle.

Start with a 1.5 hour sunset sail reservation with Emerald City Charters ( approx. $33 per adult). The day of your sail, pack a bag with blankets, drinks and picnic-style dinner. Catch the boat at the waterfront and enjoy stunning sunset views of both the Seattle skyline and the Olympic Mountains. It's very unlikely you'll have the boat to yourself, however there's enough space to create the vibe you're looking for, whether it be friendly or romantic.

Tip: Get to the loading area early to pick your perfect spot on the boat.

The Puget Sound is beautiful, and the views it offers of the city are wonderful. You can also bike the Puget Sound by taking ferries to the various islands. There's a tour offered by Airbnb that takes groups on this tour!

Did this sail when I was passing through Seattle. It was a fantastic change of scenery from the mountains and the skyline is iconic!

Highly recommend! The Seattle skyline is a photographers dream, and this is a wonderful way to capture. We did a sunset cruise and then chose one of the many restaurants for dinner.

Camp on Blake Island

There are 2 ways to get to Blake Island: private boat or via the Argosy Cruises tour boat (or if you're ambitious, I guess you can swim there!). If traveling by private boat, there is a marina with limited dock space as well as buoy moorings around the island for a moorage fee. Blake Island is a State Park and has many campsites around the island, but the main camping area is just a few steps...

Take in the View of Downtown Seattle from Dr. Jose Rizal Park

Enjoy a wonderful view of the Seattle skyline from Dr. Jose Rizal park. Parking is easy and accessible, and the park has lots of benches for sitting and taking in the view. Walk around the park for different views of the city or take in the surrounding neighborhood, you'll most likely catch a lot of locals walking around with their dogs. For TV fanatics, this is one of the shots of downtown sh...

Ice Cream Cruise on Lake Union

My family and I were in Seattle for a wedding and I believe my mom across this gem being advertised in either a newspaper or a magazine. We had a great time and it was an affordable way to get onto the water and something everyone of all ages could do. I love checking out houseboats, being on the water, and ice cream, so it was a win win for me! The Captain did a fun tour of Lake Union and an ...

Take in the View at Kerry Park

Located at the top of Queen Anne Hill, Kerry Park is a favorite destination for photography. On any given day you'll find tourists and locals relaxing in the park and enjoying the beautiful view.The park is located in the Queen Anne neighborhood so there is free parking along the streets. If you're heading to the park on a clear and sunny day, or especially for sunset, parking may be tough. ...

Paddle Lake Union

As the sun sets over Queen Anne Hill, there are few better places to be in Seattle than Lake Union. Sitting just 2 miles from downtown Seattle, the Lake is a quick escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. No matter the season, catching a sunset and dusk on the lake is absolutely stunning. Unless you live in Seattle and own a kayak, chances are you’ll need to rent. Luckily there are two co...

Run the Howe Street Stairs

The Howe Street Stairs are Seattle’s longest continuous stairway, and your quads will confirm this fact after you’ve done a few sets of repeats. This is a great place to raise your heart rate and get some exercise outside of the gym. If you’re up for it, throw in some push-ups and sit-ups in between sets for a full body workout.The stairs can get a little crowded on evenings and nice weekends, ...
