Expertly prepared Neapolitan-style pizzas are Bar del Corso's specialty. Their sides and salads are also amazing, such as tonno del chianti (pork shoulder slowly braised in olive oil) and grilled octopus with corona beans. One of my favorite restaurants in all of Seattle.

A wonderful park that eventually leads to floating docks right before Lake Washington turns into Lake Union. You can rent canoes in the area (check out Agua Verde Paddle Club) and there’s a beautiful scenic place to paddle through the park. Seattle is called the emerald city for a reason and you would be remiss for not checking out one of its many lush and gorgeous parks from spring to fall - this one in particular is a fantastic option.

I recommend taking a ferry to get to West Seattle from downtown if you're on foot. From there, you can walk the waterfront and check out Alki Beach. On a warm summer day into the evening, everybody is out—enjoying the beach, having a drink at one of the many beachside bars and restaurants, rollerblading. California vibes in Seattle. (I recommend getting some tacos at Chupacabra and making a fire on the beach—but get there early, it's first come first serve for fire pits.)
