I went on my first solo trip to Seattle a few weeks ago and it was one of the best experiences despite being so anxious!! Traveling solo is definitely intimidating but its so liberating.

[@SharingtheRoad]

CONGRATS on the Solo Travel! Thats so empowering and sounds like it was a great trip! It's always a little nerve wracking pushing yourself outside your comfort zone (and travel is great for that) and the results are usually positive. So glad you had a great trip! Where else are you looking to travel to next?

[@Lyno1979]

I have mine in June! Super nervous but excited! Any tips would be super appreciated

[@sr3268]

PROPS TO YOU! What is your next solo destination!?

[@max2885]

Mine is in September! Starting in Seattle and going down south to Portland, the Oregon Coast and San Francisco! I‘m super excited

I can understand if you are in Rio, Mexico, or South Africa but not Seattle.

[@busterandloulou]

I used to live in Seattle but moved when the company I worked for closed their Seattle property. The place that is referred to as the original Starbucks isn’t the original. The original Starbucks was located on Western Ave. This location closed after a fire and the second location opened and is now being called the original Starbucks. I used to buy my roasted coffee beans at the real original store.

[@georgiadriven]

Wow,I had no idea about the Starbucks 😮

[@patsalas5170]

Went to UW Seattle when that was the starbucks...when they only had beans for sale and a different emblem ❤❤ before the 2nd store in university village...yeah , it was the 70s ❤😂😂

[@golfmaniac007]

i think gas works park should be demolished and put something modern and fresh. those old refinery structures is so gloomy and dark....makes you feel like your in a junkyard. the viewpoint is great though.

[@julienyhus6657]

A couple corrections - Fremont only has one E; the view is Puget sound, not the ocean, the “original” Starbucks was actually a block north and they transferred the business license to the spot where they currently have the lines out the door. The only special thing about that location is that they sell items with the original logo

can you peovide the "original" location of the starbuks? it be nice to check out if there is still something to see.

I’ve been to Seattle a couple times back before it started falling apart. I would recommend you not going during riot session.

[@ChouetteViolette]

Once you’ve hit the tourist highlights of Seattle, I *highly* recommend you rent a car and day trip out to Paradise Visitor Center on Mt Rainier. Also either car day trip or foot passenger ferry to Bainbridge island. Gorgeous views of the harbor, basically a cheap harbor tour. Also a whale watching excursion! 🐋

[@SharingtheRoad]

Ooooh that sounds super fun! We'd love to try that someday! 😊

some great tips

[@einundsiebenziger5488]

Mike is so right about the gum wall. No matter how iconic it might be, it's nothing but disgusting. The city should get rid of it and severely fine everybody who tries to stick another gum on any of the walls.

[@SharingtheRoad]

Exactly hahaha! 🤢 It really is gross 😂

[@georginafaseun5302]

The city has cleaned up the gum wall twice, only to have everyone place gum on it all over again.

[@LeifGarretstein]

I walk by it every week and make my rounds. Havent purchased a pack of gum in years!

[@einundsiebenziger5488]

@@georginafaseun5302 Obviously there is no fine for that. 100 bucks per gum, and the city could perhaps solve its homeless crisis with the revenue😉.
