September 22, 2017

A rare view at night, when the streets are quiet!

I was just in time for Seattle’s summer which I had heard is what people longed for after 8 months of rain and gloom. I had two weeks to myself before I could resume work. I spent some time arranging and decorating my new apartment, making it my new home and the other half of was spent exploring. In my experience, I came across some places and things to do if you are not from Seattle and visiting for the first time 🙂 Here’s my quick Seattle guide. The city is famous for Pikes place market which is one of the best farmers market int he USA. Here’s a quick guide on things to do in Pikes Market, some really cool activities, stores that you shouldn’t miss!
