Seattle
Blink and its changed: Seattle can be that ephemeral. Welcome to a city that pushes the envelope, embraces new trends and plots a path toward the future.
First time in Seattle? Cut to the chase and make a beeline for its proverbial pantry: Pike Place Market. It was founded in 1907 to fortify local inhabitants with fresh Northwest produce, and its long-held mantra of meet the producer still echoes enthusiastically around a city where every restaurateur worth their salt knows the name of their fishmonger and the biography of the cow that made yesterdays burgers. It doesnt take long to realize that youve arrived in a maelstrom of well-educated palates and wildly experimental chefs who are willing to fuse American cuisine with just about anything as long as its local.
Visitors setting out to explore Seattle with a blank canvas should think of the city as a United States of Neighborhoods, or to put it in more human terms a family of affectionate but sometimes errant siblings. Theres the aloof, elegant one (Queen Anne), the cool, edgy one (Capitol Hill), the weird, bearded one (Fremont), the independently minded Scandinavian one (Ballard), the grizzled old grandfather (Pioneer Square) and the precocious adolescent still carving out its identity (South Lake Union). Youll never fully understand Seattle until youve visited them all.
To outsiders, Seattle is an industrious creator of macro-brands. To insiders, its a city of micro-businesses and boundary-pushing grassroots movements. For proof, dip into the third-wave coffee shops, the microbreweries with their casual tasting rooms, or the cozy informal bookstores that remain rock solid in a city that spawned Amazon. Then there are the latest national trends that Seattle has helped create: craft cider, pot shops, micro-distilleries, specialist pie-makers, homemade ice cream and fledgling nano-breweries. Walk the streets and scour the neighborhoods; theres far more to this city than Starbucks' vanilla lattes and Boeing airplanes.
Just because it nurtured tech giants Microsoft and Amazon, it doesnt mean that Seattle hasnt got a surreal arty side. Crisscross its urban grid and youll find all kinds of freakish apparitions: a rocket sticking out of a shoe shop; a museum built to resemble a smashed-up electric guitar; glass orbs in wooden canoes; a statue of Vladimir Lenin; a mural made of used chewing gum; fish-tossing market traders; and a museum dedicated to antique pinball machines (which you can still play). No, you haven't over-indulged in some powerful (legal) marijuana. Youve just worked out that Seattle is far more bohemian than beige.
By Brendan Sainsbury, Writer
My knowledge of Seattle pre-2000 can be summed up in one word: grunge. A product of my generation, I grew up admiring the city from afar by connecting with its music, unaware of 95% of what it had to offer. A move from London (UK) to BC (Canada) in 2004 quickly changed the configuration. Regular sorties south of the 49th parallel taught me that there isnt just one Seattle, there are at least 10 of them mini-cities personified in neighborhoods full of shifting moods and weird subcultures that satisfied pretty much every taste I had.
