Take them to your favorite places. If you don’t have any yet, I hope you find some. Here are some thought-starters:

It’s hot out. Take them to the beach.
-Golden Gardens or Alki

It’s a beautiful day.
-plan a picnic at Gas Works and watch the seaplanes fly in.

Feeling active this Summer?
-rent sone paddle boards from Agra Verde over in the U district and then eat some Mexican food and down some Margaritas at the same place.

Good luck! I think your mission as a Seattleite is to go explore the city so you can interpret what kind of experience your visitors are looking for and make suggestions. I find the non-touristy experiences the most memorable.

Been in Seattle for ~1 year and something I’ve observed is the constant s*it-talking of the city from the locals. Is this because they haven’t experienced other places?

I’m from the NE and am so grateful to not be dealing with snowy winters and sweltering summers.
