I received a last minute invite to crash my mom’s work trip in Seattle and neither one of us have ever been. Any recommendations for: 1) A good hotel that’s in a fun area for me to walk around and explore but also a reasonable commute for my mom to Bellevue? 2) A good restaurant around Pikes Place Market for my mom and I Sunday night? 3) A good restaurant for a solo dinner? 4) Fun brunch/bars for my solo day time exploration, bonus points if it’s all walkable! Open to all things! Thanks!

We stayed in an Airbnb near pike place and received the following recommendations from the host:

Breweries:
Pike Brewing Co.
Cloud Burst Brewing

Fish & Chips: Jack’ Fish Spot

For dinner:
Elliot’s oyster house
The Pink door (needs reservation)

Also, can’t miss Chihuly Garden.

We were there last year so this might not be updated.

The pink door is incredible but agree that you absolutely need a reservation

Frequently stayed at the Renassiance Seattle which is convenient to get on the highway to Bellevue for your Mom. Otherwise would suggest the Sheraton or Westin.

Definitely check out the Starbucks Reserve (different from the “original Starbucks”). Un Bien for sandwiches that are absolutely delicious!

If you like pop culture, check out the MoPop museum. I spent a day there easily. (And dingbat me didn’t realize the Chihuli museum was right there as is the space needle). But got to see it eventually (lol go glass floor for me!)

You have to try the Pike Place Chowder (it’s a must)
And Beechers grilled cheese.

Now for a solo dinner or with your mom I would suggest Purple Cafe and wine bar. Fogón Cocina mexicana was also very good.

Also just walking and eating at Pike Market

Dessert Hot Cakes, also Salt & Straw is a staple

Following !

For your mom’s commute: the drive on 520 across lake Washington (Rossellini bridge) has gorgeous views of the water and Mt Rainier.
