Here’s my list of 20 things that I want to do in Seattle (or surroundings) in 2010!
I’ll be sure to note which ones I’ve done before with an asterisk & the others will all be new experiences! Here we go…
- Eat at the Corson Building
- Participate in the Fremont Solstice Parade
- Throw a BBQ at Golden Gardens
- Visit Vancouver Island
- Host a party at my house where every piece of food is local within 100 miles
- Take a ferry to Port Townsend & spend a day there in the summer
- Ride the Ducks (finally)
- Walk around Greenlake during the Pathway of Lights luminaria night*
- Host a chocolate & wine or beer pairing with Theo Chocolate’s pairing kit
- Do a self-led Washington wineries tour
- Spend the afternoon kayaking then chow down at Agua Verde*
- See a burlesque show
- Take the water taxi to West Seattle
- Go to the Tulip Festival & tour some Skagit County farms
- Take a cheese-making class
- Eat at both Paseo’s
- Get completely plowed on Capitol Hill, and then eat a signature Seattle hot dog with cream cheese
- Go to a Teatro Zinzanni show
- Bike the entire Burke-Gilman trail
- Go to the Ballard Locks
So, what’s on your list?
That is an excellent list! I’ve lived in Seattle most of my life so I’ve done the majority of the things on that list, and they’re all totally worth it! Vancouver Island and Port Townsend are both great places to visit. I recommend Friday Harbor and the rest of the San Juans, too, if you haven’t done that.
I live in Woodinville these days right by all the wineries, so if you need some recommendations I’m happy to help!

Oo, thanks! I’m pretty excited about the great year ahead!
Do you have anything (new or repeats) that you want to do this year?

Great list Kristy! You can add Camping at Lake Wanatchee to that list. We’re going this summer!! The Ballard locks are right near my place and really cool to see. The fish jump like crazy right before dusk. Thats when the bugs hang out on the water. Kayaking from Agua Verde is awesome too! There are turtles in the arboretum! I definitely want to learn how to make cheese! Some things on my list this year (not too Seattle/WA specific):
1. Make a dress
2. Write a song
3. Camping at Lake Wanatchee
4. Visit every dog park in the greater Seattle area
5. Run a race of some sort
6. Buy a used road bike
