If you ride the ferry to Bainbridge or Bremerton and I'm not in Massachusetts, I will take you around here and take you to dinner.
I didn't go, but I recall on one trip, the rest of my family went to Oak Harbor on Whidbey Island along with Leavenworth.

We felt very safe there in 2007. Sorry to hear things have changed for the worse.Seattle makes it easy. The whole downtown area is rough.
I have a friend that works at Amazon HQ. She rides the train into downtown. From the station she gets on an Amazon shuttle bus that is parked right outside. That takes her direct to the HQ. Amazon had to do this to assure employee safety. No one wants to take the city bus.
Johnsons Ridge Observatory, overlooking Mount St Helens.
Closed due to mudslide for the rest of 2023…
Take some sunflower seeds (or native flower seeds) to feed the chipmunks….
OK, I did not forget I promised to make a list; I have been busy and I knew I had time to get to it and also think about it a bit. I’ll break it down into four parts, things to do and then food/dining. Each also divided by either central Seattle or further out regionally. I needed to put together a list like this for friends/family who visit. So I questioned a few friends to round out my knowledge and put all this together.Will be in downtown area for 5 days.
Eating and sightseeing in the better areas.
No Space Needle visit, will definitely go to Boeing Museum.
Related question… I really love the alder smoked salmon like they sell at the downtown market. I’m not in the city, not going downtown. Are there any recommendations on who/where sells it either around Tacoma or preferably Bremerton area?
Would like to bring many, many pounds home.
Thanks. Metropolitan Market in Gig Harbor looks like my best bet on the way to the airport.Our neighbor is a commercial fisherman, 3rd generation at least. he has his own vessel and goes up to the Gulf, and smokes some he shares from his catch. Amazing.
The major good markets usually have it. Check in the back cabinet at Safeway or QFC. Metropolitan Market, if you can get near one of those, certainly will (they are a bit priceier though).
Here is what Safeway has, it is in fact local and in the stores:
SeaBear Smoked Salmon Trio - 18 Oz - Safeway
Shop SeaBear Smoked Salmon Trio - 18 Oz from Safeway. Browse our wide selection of Smoked & Cured Fish for Delivery or Drive Up & Go to pick up at the store!www.safeway.com
And there is a nice Safeway across the street from there. Met Market is pricey but they have top flight stuff. We are 2 miles or so from that exit away from the Harbor from that exit/market.Thanks. Metropolitan Market in Gig Harbor looks like my best bet on the way to the airport.
