For context I am a flight attendant from Singapore who has only been here once. We only fly to a few US stations, mainly LAX, SEA, SFO, EWR/JFK. SEA is pretty rare, we don’t fly here daily. But everytime I ask around, most crew tell me Seattle is pretty boring, and I felt like that the last time I was here, since we are held up around Downtown SEA, and I pretty much just did the touristy stuff like Pike Market or went to Bainsbridge, or Space Needle.
This time I decided to visit other neighborhoods and I was quite surprised by how varied the area seems to be the next block around.
Was at South Lake Union, walked down to South Lake Union Park, then down to Fremont. Visited the vintage mall, bookstore, and then made my way back. I really liked Fremont’s vibe and South Lake Union has a more upscale vibe too, compared to Downtown Seattle.
There seems to be plenty to do and see, and I definitely felt like it was easier to get around here compared to downtown LAX. After speaking to various locals, I realised now I barely scratched the surface and now I got a bucket list of neighborhoods to drop by, parks to visit on my next visit to Seattle, if I ever come back. While I can’t drive, plenty of Seattle and greater Seattle seems to be accessible via Light Rail and the buses.
Granted I haven’t got assaulted or robbed yet…
