Funko HQ Store in Everett
A 35min drive from Seattle, this is a must see for Funkopop lovers. The store has amazing design with different array of collectible figures. You’ll find exclusive items and impressive displays, making it a truly immersive experience. We really loved the One Piece figure and an area where you could make custom figures.
Kirkland Performance Center
We stopped at Kirland Performance Center as we bought tickets to see a comedy show. A popular venue for live entertainment, hosting a variety of concerts, theatrical productions, and community events. It’s a great spot to catch a show and enjoy local arts and culture. We went to see Max Amini who did a great job making us laugh throughout the night.
Trader Joe’s
Heading down the states was a must go place was Trader Joe’s. The grocery store has unique, healthy, and affordable food items. It’s a fantastic place to discover new snacks, gourmet ingredients, and quirky seasonal treats. We absolutely love the Okra, Peanut Butter Cups, and Thin Lemon Cookies here. We always go back for more when we are in the states.
Ferris Wheel
In the downtown area, the Ferris wheel is a great ride to go on for the panoramic views of the city skyline and the mountains. Taking a ride provides a unique and memorable perspective of Seattle’s iconic waterfront. It was great to sit and take photos and videos from all angles.
Seattle Premium Outlets
After passing by the border, a short distance is the Seattle Premium Outlets. The multi store offers a vast selection of popular brand-name stores, perfect for finding great deals. It was a nice stroll and perfect if you need to make an emergency washroom break. We didn’t end taking any photos here as all the stores were standard known brand stores.
Westfield Southcenter
Another shopping mall but indoors has a wide range of retailers, dining options, and entertainment. It’s a convenient one-stop destination for all your shopping and leisure needs. We wanted to explore different malls to see what stores are only offered in the states. We didn’t end taking any photos here as all the stores were standard known brand stores.
Chinatown Seattle
Chinatown Seattle has great architecture and design along with great trail parks to enjoy nature. Along the area, there are tons of bakery shops where you can enjoy a snack. You can check out food places here.
Bellevue Square
We loved Bellevue Square for it’s architecture and high ceilings. Bellevue Square offers luxurious brands and high-end retail experience. It’s a premier destination for fashion enthusiasts and those seeking a sophisticated shopping environment. We were too into the stores that we didn’t get to take a photo.
Conclusion:
Seattle was an amazing experience, and it truly felt like a place we could call a second home someday! Even with our small list of places to visit, we discovered that Seattle constantly offers tons of exciting events and activities. It’s a city with so much to explore, and we barely scratched the surface.
