I got here last year (work at UW, live in Ballard). Couple of suggestions from another newcomer (from CT):

  • My wife says you have to read The Boys in the Boat; "I think everyone in this city has read it". Except me.
  • Too High & Too Steep is an interesting book about the local geology and history. Will give you a new perspective on the shape of downtown.
  • Larsen's Bakery is my new go-to pastry shop. A large variety of Danish pastries, good quality, and good prices (and 50% off day-olds if you're really cheap).
  • Coming here from the east coast, and having grown up in Wisconsin, Seattle feels much more like the midwest, and thus more familiar to me. Things move slower here, and people are generally less aggressive than the northeast.
  • KEXP is a great local radio station for all sorts of music. Never quite know what I'm going to hear when I turn it on.
  • You don't even have to get out of town to see interesting wildlife: Carkeek for spawning salmon, Golden Gardens and Discovery parks for duck variety, the locks for seals, sea lions, salmon, and various water birds.
