Seattle has rainy winters, and Seattleites have rainy day fun.
Below are 10 fun things to do during the rainy season. Of course you know more, but perhaps our recommendations offer a good start.
1. Spend a day in the market.
One of the busiest farmer's market in the US, Pike Place offers fresh produce, local crafts, restaurants, burlesque, tea tasting and more. You can easily spend a day there, especially because almost everything resides indoors.
2. Sip. Read. Relax.
Seattle is famous for local roasters and coffee shops. Grab a book, or device, and enjoy a steamy latte.
3. Brunch with friends.
Brunch is especially popular in the Pacific Northwest. Who doesn't like comfort food in rain?
We recommend Portage Bay Cafe, 13 Coins and Serious Pie & Biscuit.
4. Take Bill Speidel's Underground Tour.
The original city of Seattle, built in Pioneer Square, was destroyed in the Great Fire of 1889. After rebuilding the new city on top of the old, the neighborhood suffered neglect, until publicist Bill Speidel revived the neighborhood with an Underground Tour that attracted thousands of visitors who petitioned to ordain Pioneer Square again.
And that's how Bill Speidel and his genius production saved Seattle's most historic neighborhood. (Go Bill!)
5. International District
Good dim sum. Good bubble tea. What else do you need?
You do have Prime, don't you?
Sorry!
Kind of a Seattle-thing. :)

6. Spin around.
Every great city needs a big wheel. Well, at least we think so.
Visit Seattle Great Wheel for ticket info. We've "spun-the-wheel" three times, and enjoyed each experience.

7. Go high.
For an amazing view of Seattle, go up the Space Needle or the Sky View Observatory (Columbia Tower). The view is better on sunny days, of course, but still incredible in rain.

9. Or get nerdy.
And visit the Museum of Flight, Pacific Science Center and the Boeing Factory Tour.

10. Stay in.
There is nothing wrong with curling up on the couch, turning on the fire place, and satisfying every guilty pleasure with shows like Amazon Original's Mozart in the Jungle (staring current crush Craig Revel Horwood) and The Man in the High Castle.
