Food scene
This is the best pizza spot in the city and the best part is you can walk to it from the Airbnb! They do not take reservations, but if you do have to wait, there is an excellent bar (called Essex) next door, where you can grab a drink and some appetizers. Delancey's will come over to the bar to let you know once your table is ready.

Sightseeing
In the summer, you can come here to see the salmon swim up the ladders in the summer time. It is a quite a sight- something if you've never seen it, do not want to miss! They also have free outdoor concerts on the weekends where you can bring your lawn chairs, blankets, and a picnic.

Traveler advice
Getting around
If You're On a Budget...Public Transportation is a Great Opt
The "D" Line, rapid bus line is a 10 minute walk from the Airbnb. This bus line will get you to downtown Seattle within 25 minutes. It is $2.50 each way for a bus ride and can be a great way to get a feel of the city as a local.
