Anybody in the Seattle area? Will be visiting next month and would love to squeeze in horse time, a blogger meet-up or tack shop visit :) hit me up if you're in the area or have recommendations on must-visit locations! Comment here, FB message me, or email dressagebarbie (at) gmail.com
Not a blogger, but I live in the PNW, you need to go to Olson's Tack Shop in Bellevue, & The Gift Horse Saddlery in Woodinville. :)
ReplyDeleteThose were on my list (thanks Google!). Any other recommendations for non-horsey things to do? Hubs will be unamused if we don't fit at least *some* touristy things. I have the Space Needle on my list, but I haven't visited the area in so long I'm probably out of the loop on anything else awesome ☺️
DeleteSpace Needle is definitely awesome, but I vaguely recall they were doing work on it, so check to see if its open. :/ (I couldn't find anything on that, so likely it is open!)
DeleteThe Ferris Wheel in Downtown is also very cool at night, Pike Place Market during the day. :)
DEFINITELY take a ferry ride! Kingston is a fun little town to poke around, or if you have a day to do some major sight seeing, drive up to Deception Pass & head down the peninsula... the views are worth it! (unless the day is totally rainy & icky, it's still beautiful, but not as much fun..)
OH, one more, Woodland Park Zoo is lit for Christmas & open at night! :) My husband & I are actually going tonight, so if it's fun (& I remember!) I will try to update!
DeleteOh my gosh, you're a fountain of useful information! We will be visiting relatives so not completely unencumbered and free to explore, but we should have some miscellaneous free time to hit up a few of these place! Thank you so much for the recs! 😀
DeleteIf you are ever farther south (mexico way) I'd definitely want to meet up lol
ReplyDeleteBucket list item! California has so many cool bloggers 😎
DeleteOooh I love Seattle! Hope you have a blast and eat a TON of good food ;) I personally loved the chihuly glass museum if you're into that sorta thing
ReplyDeleteLooks like they offer a combined ticket rate to see that and the Space Needle (which was on the list, since DH has never been), and it looks gorgeous!! Thanks for the recommendation!
DeleteHey there, I'm a little late to the game, but will definitely second what Horseyhabit suggested. Deception Pass and Whidbey Island are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteAnd, if time allows, there are some great tack stores in Canada (and an exchange rate in our favor!)
Have fun and bring waterproof coats.
Thank you!! Ohhhh Canadian tack stores hadn't even crossed my mind.... But ogilvy! 😍
