Sea Seattle like a local

We’re up to 13 destinations on NASHtoday’s sister city tour, brought to you by our fellow editors (the experts, just like us). We’re stopping in Seattle next before seeing sunny San Diego and breaking out the boots in Fort Worth.
You already know to hit up Pike Place Market and the Space Needle (both totally worth braving the crowds for). But don’t take a trip to the Pacific Northwest without spending some time enjoying the area’s natural wonders.
Take a ferry to Bainbridge Island, where bookstores and fish n’ chip shops await you. City Editor Alina also recommends a day trip around the Olympic Peninsula for mountain views, rainforest hiking, dramatic beach cliffs, and vampires, of course.
All that excitement will leave you hungry. The Puget Sound is famous for its seafood: Make sure to grab a few bites of oysters at Westward or James Beard Award-winning Walrus and the Carpenter.
If you’re in search of a unique gift to pair with your date night this Valentine’s Day, the Nashville Public Library offers bookplate tributes. The name of your choosing will be inscribed inside a book circulating the library system. Who knows, it could wind up in one written by a Nashville author.
