Seattle 3-Day Summer Sample Itinerary

Lately I found out that more and more of my friends use my blog as reference for their travel preparations. Therefore, I am making it my goal to make it easier for whoever reads my blog to plan their trip. I think that making sample itineraries is one way to do it, and with a very special friend in mind, I will start with a sample itinerary for Seattle.

Last year in the summer I spent 3 days in Seattle. That included the drive to and from Delta, BC. You can read the whole story on my post. Here, I will write a more technical itinerary of the trip.




Day 1

  • 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
    Drive to Seattle Premium Outlet
    This time allowance includes a half-hour wait at the border. Sometimes it will take longer at the border depending on the queue. 
  • 12:00 pm - 4:00 pm
    Lunch and shop at Seattle Premium Outlet
    30 minutes for lunch, and spare 3-4 hours to go in and out the stores at the outlet. If you like to eat a lot, there is an option to eat buffet lunch at the Tulalip Casino right by the outlet.
  • 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm
    Drive from Seattle Premium Outlet to hotel. We stayed at Fairfield Inn by Marriott in Bellevue area. It was inexpensive and quite decent, and the price includes breakfast.
  • 5:00 pm - 6:30 pm
    Check in, quick rest, and dinner. We had a burger dinner at Wibbley's Burger and it was very good. If you don't feel like burgers, you can head straight to Bellevue Square.
  • 6:30 pm - 9:00 pm
    Go to Bellevue Square, buy fancy candies at Lolli & Pops, walk around the mall a bit, and then cross over to Bellevue Downtown Park to enjoy the outdoors. If you go in the summer there will still be light out but it won't be too hot.
Day 2

  • 9:00 am - 1:00 pm
    Pike Place Market area.
    Right after breakfast, drive straight to Pike Place Market. Finding a parking spot would not be easy and once you find one it will cost you an arm and a leg. There are many things to see and do here but you would spend a lot of time queueing for something. The original Starbucks, Pike Place Chowder, Piroshkys. If you plan to visit any of those, spare a minimum of 30 minutes wait for each. Aside from browsing the market, you might also like to go to the Harbourfront area and spend some time there. 
  • 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm
    Olympic Sculpture Park.
    Just a short drive from the Pike Place Market, this park is a nice stop if you have interest either in the outdoors or in arts. Otherwise, skip it. If you prefer shopping and cultures, stay longer at the market instead.
  • 3:00 pm - 9:00 pm
    Seattle Center.
    This area has many attractions in one. Space Needle, Seattle Children's Museum, Museum of Pop Culture, Memorial Stadium, and Chihuly Garden and Glass are just a few. If you plan to visit more than one or two attractions in this area, I would recommend sparing more time here. There is a food court and I highly recommend MOD Pizza. 
Day 3
  • 10:00 am - 2:00 pm
    Living Computers Museum.
    With a large poster that says "Come in. Geek out" this museum attracts families like us. We could've spent more time there had we not been so hungry closer to lunch time. We crossed the street and ate pulled pork lunch at     Peco's Pit. 
  • 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
    The Spheres.
    Amazon's new headquarters building is definitely worth a visit, and if you happen to be there on the right days, you can even get a tour inside or walk inside the indoor garden. Please check their public visit hours when you make plans.
  • Drive back

There you go... I hope that helped! Please visit the summary and the individual posts when you have the time...

Nintendo Switch Sleeve Tutorial

Hi! I'm Kirana from woofkiki.blogspot.co.id . I am going to write an introduction for this blog post. We bought a Nintendo Switch in Japan.  I really liked it and played with it almost everyday. If you're wondering what a Nintendo Switch is, it is a video game where you can basically  "switch" everything. The joy-cons and even the game! You can also connect it to your TV. It would be nice to bring it around with you, but when you put it in your bag... Oh no! The screen scratched! So, this is a sleeve that will fix that. Let's get started!😊 Kirana Now the tutorial (by Kirana's mom)... 1. Make your pattern according to the picture below. It is basically a 6"x24" rectangle with a semi circle at one end. Note: this is not a printable pattern 1. Cut your outer fabric, lining, and batting(optional). In this tutorial, I used minky for lining and a pre-quilted fabric for the cover, so I didn't need extra batting. For batting, I recomm

Labuan Bajo 2023 Part 3 - 3 Days 2 Nights Diving Trip With Chakana Liveaboard

  Photo credit: Lukas Rissing @thestudypacker A live-aboard experience is one of the highlights of Labuan Bajo. It has been on my bucket list for a while but every time I tried to go, something just didn't work out.... until now! The opportunity arose to join an impressive-looking boat this year and the dates matched Miss Kiki's holiday perfectly, how could I not take this rare chance! With less than a month to prepare, we booked plane tickets, accommodations, and whatever equipment we thought we might need. So off we flew to Labuan Bajo with little preparation and a lot of faith. ;) You can read the first and second parts of the trip in my previous posts. After we checked out of our hotel on the third day, we went to the pier and hopped on to a dinghy that took us to Chakana Liveaboard, a 47-meter-long phinisi-style yacht that was going to be our accommodation for the next two nights. My heart raced as we approached the pretty boat and spotted a group of staff excitedly wavi

Labuan Bajo 2023 Part 2 - Leisure Day Trip

I booked a leisure day trip for our second day in Labuan Bajo via Traveloka . When I say leisure, I meant a non-diving trip. We have a live onboard trip booked for the 3rd to the 5th day but that one is a diving trip covering different places and adventures so we tried to cram the other must-visits of Komodo National Park in one day. For breakfast that morning, we had breakfast boxes that the resort had prepared for us by order. The tour was operated by East Cruise Komodo and it was an open trip consisting of thirty-something people. East Cruise Komodo picked us up at Sudamala Resort where we stayed at 5:30 am and brought us to the harbour. The re-registration process at the harbour took about half an hour and after we were assigned a boat, we boarded. On the boat, our tour leader collected what was supposed to be the entrance fee for the National Komodo Park. It was IDR 150k per person for locals and IDR 300k per person for foreigners. We never saw the tickets but later on, we foun
