Follow along as I make it a day on the Seattle Waterfront. Let’s connect with some marine life!
Stop 1: Honest Biscuits
Let’s fuel up before we start our adventure. Honest Biscuits is a must for breakfast, with delicious biscuits made fresh with local ingredients. My go-to order is a When Pigs Fly sandwich and a golden chai.
Stop 2: Seattle Aquarium
Come face-to-face with marine life and support the Aquarium’s conservation work, like species recovery programs for pinto abalone and Indo-Pacific leopard sharks. (Learn more about these sharks in the new Ocean Pavilion!)
Stop 3: Pocket Beach
From the Aquarium, head north along the waterfront to check out this cool urban tide pooling spot. Keep an eye out for invertebrates, jellies, seals and even seagulls munching on sea stars!
Stop 4: Bookstore
Pike Place Market has so many options for finding great reads on marine science, from Lionheart Bookstore to BLMF Literary Saloon to Left Bank Books Collective.
