Awesome video! Moving to Seattle in a couple of months, this definitely got me super excited! Looking forward to seeing another video about Seattle in winter already!
If you are in Seattle for just a weekend visiting Leavenworth is not a very god idea since it will take you at least 3.5 hours to drive to Leavenworth IF there is no traffic. I am not saying Leavenworth isn't nice, but driving 7 hours to visit a town that is 4-5 blocks long is not a good investment of your time. If you want to make a trip out of the city I suggest taking the ferry across Puget Sound and then driving to Port Townsend. Once you are on the ferry it is less than a two hour trip including the ferry ride and if you time your return ferry ride for just after sunset you will get a view of Seattle that can't be beat. Plus you get out on the water.
Love the video, especially the University part. I visit Seattle every October and The Smith Tower is on my list this coming trip. I would highly recommend Seward Park to others. It has a wonderful loop walking path next to Lake Washington and old growth forest. You can ride a city bus right to the park.
I'm finally going to Splintered Wand this week, I'm so excited! I've been trying to get a reservation since I moved here 😂I definitely agree with the University of Washington, and I'd add grabbing lunch at Damoori Kitchen and then walking across the Ballard Locks. And maybe walking the loop around Green Lake! Always love your videos, Chris, it's been fun to watch your channel grow 😊
Yay! It’s an awesome place to visit! And I’ll definitely have to do the Ballard locks trip. Been once before but never paired it with food haha. Also glad you enjoy the channel! 😊
Thought I would add some places I didn't mention. Please do add to the list: Columbia Tower The Great Seattle Ferris Wheel (best for sunsets) Fremont Sunday Market (best during early fall) Ballard Farmers Market (also best during early fall) Tilikum Place Cafe The Flour Box (great donut place, but expect a line so only go if you dont mind 1-2 hour wait) Seattle Arboretum (absolutely beautiful in the fall) Japanese Garden (at the arboretum) Olympic Sculpture Park Fair Haven (bit of a drive, but pretty town)
Hey Chris! Just wanted to say I've recently started watching your channel and really enjoy your content. I am getting my real-estate license soon and want to start making content once I do. I live in the everett/snohomish area and was wondering if you had any advice for somebody starting youtube :)
That's great! My main advice is to watch plenty of RUclips videos on what editing software to use. I use Davinci Resolve, although if you have a Mac i heard Final Cut Pro is much better. Other than that, the main thing is being ok with talking in front of a camera and knowing not many will watch your first couple videos. It gets easier with time! :)
Depends on which part of the park you visit. If you visit the north then I recommend taking a ferry from Seattle to Bainbridge island and driving north. If you want to visit in the south then driving past Tacoma and Olympia isn’t too bad. Of course, this is assuming you live in Seattle. If you live somewhere south like Olympia and Tacoma then probably best to just take a land route haha
Where would you go if you only had one weekend to visit Seattle?
space needle!

Thanks! Glad this could be helpful! And I’ll have the winter video up late October 😃
Great video Chris! Seattle looks an amazing place!

Will you do winter video?
I will! That’ll be late October!
I really want to visit Olympic National Park! What would be the best say to get there for Seattle?
Depends on which part of the park you visit. If you visit the north then I recommend taking a ferry from Seattle to Bainbridge island and driving north.

Worst town in US
Haha many would agree. I actually made a video about the negatives of Seattle. It’s not for everyone
The splintered wand is permanently closed 😢
