Kubota Garden– Japenese inspired botanical garden surrounded by greens with bridges and streams- feels like a fairytale.
Pikes Place Market– Love Seattle and want the classic Seattle vibe? Pikes Place would be perfect for that. I recommend doing this one during the week when crowds are slower.
Washington State Ferry– Want to be super unique? Say your vows while cruising on the Puget Sound. One leaves staright from Seattle and takes you to any of the nearby islands.
