If big-name brands don’t spark joy, Seattle has lots of small businesses and indie boutiques waiting to be discovered. Ballard offers funky shops like Faerie’s Wheel with metaphysical gifts and stonework jewelry. Find vintage threads and handmade art down lively Pike/Pine Corridor in Capitol Hill. Stop for a coffee in Capitol Hill’s indie bookstores before getting lost in the stacks.
How to Get Around Seattle
Navigating Seattle is easy with so many transportation options. Here are some of the most popular ways to get around:
Light Rail
For a no-fuss public transit ride, hop aboard Seattle’s Link light rail system. It conveniently connects downtown Seattle, Capitol Hill, the University of Washington, and even Sea-Tac Airport. Buy tickets at vending machines before boarding or use your ORCA fare card. With trains departing every 6-15 minutes, it’s an affordable and efficient way to get around Seattle’s top destinations!
Taxis and Rideshares
Don’t want to drive in Seattle traffic? Call a Yellow Cab or hail a ride using apps like Uber or Lyft. Rideshares are usually readily available, but expect surcharges during rush hour, weekend nights, big events and inclement weather. Renting a charter bus for large groups can actually be more economical than multiple rideshares and taxis.
