the Great Pacific Northwest!
See All Lists
1. Seattle Public Library
From a tourists standpoint, (read: not a library user), this building is tha bomb! You don't have to be an architect to take interest in this building. Of course, if I were more familiar with how it functions, I could be a much more critical…More »
2. Daily Dozen Doughnut Company
One of God's little gifts from heaven plopped right down here on Earth for us mere mortals! These doughnuts are quite simply one of the most delicious things I've ever tasted. I visited 3 times during my 3 day stay in Seattle.
If I had to make one…More »
3. Salumi Artisan Cured Meats
Seattle, WA 98104
(206) 621-8772
Categories:
Italian,
Delis,
Meat Shops
Neighbourhood: Pioneer Square
My first stop on my trip was to Salumi- thank you Yelp for the recommendation! Conveniently located between the airport and my hotel. We parked blocks away not quite knowing where we were going and easily spotted the line coming out the door. It was…More »
4. Pike Place Chowder
Seattle, WA 98101
(206) 267-2537
Categories:
Seafood,
American (Traditional),
Soup
Neighbourhood: Downtown
I'm not gonna go as far as to say the ambiance is great but the Clam Chowder is seriously the BEST clam chowder I've ever had! I heard bacon is the secret to its deliciousness! And I can't quite figure out how there is no grit in the chowder.

5. Stanley Park
Vancouver, BC V6J 5L1
Canada
(604) 873-7000
Category:
Parks
Neighbourhood: Coal Harbour
GORGEOUS! Absolutely, totally unadulterated beauty! I think I took over 200 photos while visiting Stanley Park. If I could have a do-over, I would have rented bikes and taken a picnic lunch to Stanley Park on my trip to Vancouver. Instead, we thought…More »
6. Savor Seattle Food Tours
One of my favorite tourist activities on my trip to Seattle. Our guide was funny, friendly, and informative, sharing historical facts about Pike Place Market and particular food vendors that we could hear through headphones. (Headphones = no yelling…More »
7. Purple Café and Wine Bar
Seattle, WA 98101
(206) 829-2280
Categories:
American (New),
Wine Bars
Neighbourhood: Downtown
On our trip to Seattle, we had lined up reservations at Purple and were pretty happy that it just happened to be Restaurant Week! After checking out the Seattle Public Library we headed over and were extremely pleased that we had landed a seat next…More »
8. Hiram M. Chittenden Locks
As far as tourist attractions go, this one is pretty cool non-touristy attraction! We went on a rainy Thursday afternoon and there was no boat activity, so I'd recommend trying to find out when most boats go through the locks. That being said, the…More »
9. Granville Island
Vancouver, BC V6H 3R9
Canada
(604) 685-8335
Category:
Parks
Neighbourhood: Granville Island/False Creek
Granville Island is funky cool place, somewhat like a bustling flea market with everything from food stalls to posters to jewelry, knick-knacks, and lots of First Nations art. I must say it was a little confusing figuring out how to get there and…More »
10. The Sandbar Seafood Restaurant
Vancouver, BC V6H 3R9
Canada
(604) 669-9030
Categories:
Seafood,
Sushi Bars
Neighbourhood: Granville Island/False Creek
The Sandbar is a must for anyone visiting Vancouver... the view is absolutely spectacular. Make sure you ask for a table on the upstairs patio even if it's cold out. They have space heaters and blankets for all my fellow cold weather weenies!
The…More »
11. Moda Hotel
Vancouver, BC V6B 3L9
Canada
(604) 683-4251
Category:
Hotels
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Granville Entertainment District
As an architect, I can really get down with modern, minimalist spaces, however, Moda just didn't do it all that well. It looks nice enough on the interior but it is definately lacking that comfortable feel that you sometimes need while visiting a…More »
12. Mora Iced Creamery
I think this place may be a bit overrated. Yes, it's ice cream. Yes, it tastes good. This is not rocket science- ice cream tastes good in general!
I've been to some pretty cool ice cream shops in my life and this one just did not really stand out…More »
13. Zeitgeist Kunst & Kaffee
Seattle, WA 98104
(206) 583-0497
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Venues & Event Spaces
Neighbourhood: Pioneer Square
I was on vacay in the coffee capital of the world and it didn't seem like it would be too difficult to find a coffee shop so I thought I'd use my trusty Yelp app to find the best of the best. As far as looks go, the space was kinda regentrified with…More »
14. Museum of Anthropology at UBC
On our recent trip to Vancouver, my beau and I struggled to find a few tourist activities. Most other stops on the trip had plenty of "First Nations" memorabilia but no real information on the "First Nations" people. Luckily, we found the Museum of…More »
15. Alki Crab & Fish Co - CLOSED
This place really should be four stars and it would take very little effort on their part. From Downtown Seattle, you take a water taxi across to West Seattle for something like $3 or $4. The ride is probably 15 minutes and it is pretty enjoyable.…More »
16. Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Chinese Garden
Vancouver, BC V6B 5K2
Canada
(604) 662-3207
Category:
Botanical Gardens
Neighbourhood: Chinatown
As far as tourist attractions go, this place was a bit of a rip-off. Sure it's pretty and calming and relaxing, etc. but I honestly wished I hadn't wasted my money to hear some Chinese woman tell me semi-interesting, semi-boring facts about the…More »
17. Capilano Suspension Bridge
North Vancouver, BC V7R 4J1
Canada
(604) 985-7474
Categories:
Hiking,
Landmarks & Historical Buildings
Seriously?! $30 per person?! It's s frikking bridge in some frikking tall trees. I thought this was a must see destination for any tourist visiting the Vancouver area- but no. Not really. You park in a lot across the street and walk over, pay a…More »
18. Japa Dog
Vancouver, BC V6Z 2K6
Canada
Categories:
Hot Dogs,
Food Stands,
Japanese
Neighbourhood: Downtown
Wow, this place is all the rage! Every person who knew I was vacationing in Vancouver told me , "You MUSTget a Japadog!" I understood that this was a street vendor and wasn't really going to replace a nice sit-down meal while on vacation so we…More »
19. La Belle Patate
Vancouver, BC V6E 1N4
Canada
(604) 569-1215
Categories:
Fast Food,
Poutineries
Neighbourhood: West End
Vacationing in good ol Canadia, I was determined to eat some poutine. So I relied on my trusty Yelp to lead me to this place. We parked on the street, paid the meters, and walked about a block. It definitely is more of a fast food joint than a…More »
20. Rodney's Oyster House
Vancouver, BC V6B 6L2
Canada
(604) 609-0080
Category:
Seafood
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Yaletown
I total must for anyone wanting the maritime dining experience of the Pacific Northwest. What's great, though, is you can tell this is not a touristy, gimmicky, place, but full of locals. The place oozes authentic charm. I would tell anyone to…More »
