Wow, all those little shops sound soooo neat!!!

I definitely want to actually see some of those neat places, as well as get some letterboxing in. So that is a good way for me to do it... find cool place... find the boxes near it.

Amanda and I took a segway tour around West Seattle one time, and I corrected a couple of things our tour guide got wrong. Amanda said I should be taking him on the tour! =)

But really, the only thing people complain about when I take them around is that (apparently) I walk people "to death." (But I think they're exaggerating--everyone has had a pulse when I left them!)

You can take a short drive or catch a bus up to Discovery Park. It's one of our favorite parks in the area, with great hikes that loop the park and take you through a bunch of different environments (beach, dunes, forest, marsh, etc.). There are also several boxes out there! :)

On our first visit to Seattle, before we moved here, we just used letterboxes to help us see the city. We were staying at a hostel in Belltown, and our main objective was to see as much of the city and neighborhoods as we could. We were really able to get a wider sense of the city this way, and, as we letterboxers know, find some gems and secret little places along the way! After doing some boxing in Washington Park Arboretum, we stumbled across several cute and delicious cafes. We also really enjoyed the Kobe Terrace Park. A magical little oasis that you almost would never even notice otherwise.
