Slip Away to Seattle
May 9, 2016
Last week, I shared my experiences on a weekend getaway to the tiny town of La Conner—a no-miss for anyone interested in visiting the Emerald State. Today, I’m continuing my Washington travel theme. That way, you’ll be covered when planning your trip. This post focuses on Kirkland, a waterfront town only 20 minutes from Seattle.
Kirkland has everything a traveler could want. You can stroll down docks filled with sail boats, motor boats, and friendly Mariners.
You can get world class ice cream cones or macaroons, and sit on the beach enjoying them while watching the parade of boats cruising by.
You can add to the foot traffic on the art walk through the several fine galleries, find unique pieces in the home furnishing shops, and stroll the delightful Corridor Trail, with a view of the water and a feel of the country.
When it comes to dining, you can choose from an array of restaurants, but I’d suggest Watercress. The food is delicious, the cost is reasonable, and since it is yet to be discovered, you’ll have no problem finding a table. But I don’t expect that to last for long!
So you can see why Kirkland is a place to love.
