Husky Stadium and the beautiful UW campus!
Snow Lake is a beautiful hike that's just off I-90, not far from Seattle - it's tough with loose rocks but the lake is so beautiful! 
Mt. Si is a pretty easy hike with rocks to climb at the top that is also just off I-90!
This is the view from Pike Place Market on the Seattle waterfront

Yes, I actually like where I work... how could anyone not like working in the Columbia Tower? (Unless, of course, a plane hits it or a 9.0 earthquake... but hopefully neither of those will happen!)
Especially with views like this!
And this! It is fun to watch the weather patterns come in across the Sound and Elliot Bay.
This is sunset over Seattle from Alki Point!
And this is sunset over the Sound from the west side of Alki.
This is the trail that runs around the point at Seward Park.
Also Seward Park! I spent so much time swimming, biking and running here last summer!
I just thought this was a really pretty picture of Seattle!
Same with this one... how cool is that?
I love running through Ravenna Park in the snow... such a winter wonderland and so peaceful!
And it's nice and shady in the summer too!
Pegasus Pizza is definitely my favorite pizza in Seattle!!!
Myrtle Edwards Park between downtown Seattle and Queen Anne!
Mrytle Edwards again... I stumbled on it randomly on one of my first runs from Queen Anne and I love it!
Sunset @ Myrtle Edwards
Another sunset at Myrtle Edwards!
My new home away from home on Friday and Saturday nights!
This place has the most amazing breakfast... yum!
Matthew's Beach... right along the Burke-Gilman which makes it a perfect place to hop in the lake and cool off after a hot summer run!
Leschi neighborhood... Seattle Marathon runs through here!
This is where we watched the Blue Angels fly during Seafair last summer (Leschi again)
Lake Washington Boulevard... Seattle Marathon, Seattle Rock N Roll, and the Danskin Triathlon all come along this road.
View from Kerry Park, which is just up a few super steep blocks from my apartment!
The Grateful Bread bakery... best bagels in Seattle by far, and they have Caffe Vita coffee... how could you go wrong?
Golden Gardens is an awesome place for barbecues in the summertime!
The Burke-Gilman is my home away from home during marathon training... I do most of my long runs on it and have never come even close to running out of trail!
The Burke-Gilman as it goes by Gasworks Park.
I hope you enjoyed my picture tour!
FYI, I'm going to move and live with you. It has been my dream to live in Seattle. Even though I've only been there a handful of times, I think it's the best city in the US. I even applied and got accepted UDUB, but alas the Florida's scholarships were hard to turn down. I'm working on moving there though and when I do you'll have to introduce me personally to all these awesome places, especially the running spots. Thanks for sharing such awesome pics.
ReplyDeleteI'd be glad to!!! I love showing off this city (clearly haha!) :)
ReplyDeleteYou make me want to move to Seattle! So many beautiful swim/bike/run locations! Where I live sucks in comparison! Boooooo.
ReplyDeleteAnnie, you should definitely at least come visit!!! :) And maybe someday you'll be able to convince Nick to leave your little corner of the world!
