My Favorite Seattle Summer Day
Our family loves this family outing. Head down to Pike Place Market and see the sights. Get a baguette from Le Panier and other snacks from the Market. Then go down to the waterfront and take a water taxi to West Seattle. At the water taxi landing, enjoy a great lunch on the outdoor patio of Marination Makai. Then go around the corner and rent kayaks or SUPs from the vendor there and paddle around the area. We've seen beautiful jellyfish from the comfort of our kayaks. When you're done, head back to the Market, pick up seafood and some Tom Douglas seafood rub, and make a feast at home. Enjoy!
