Less than 12 Hours to Spare in Seattle, Washington

September 3, 2017
this for inspo!
I ended up in Seattle to visit family but it was a quick trip. I think you’re beginning to get to know that my trips are pretty short in duration. If you don’t have much time to spare but you still want to check out a few of the main sites, I would recommend going to Pike Place Market, Chuhily Garden and Glass as well as Olympic Sculpture Park. These three sites are in close proximity of each other and are doable in a very short period of time. The Sky Needle is right next to Chuhily Garden and Glass so you could check that off your list as well. I would spend more time at Chihuly Garden and Glass as you will want to take your time to appreciate all the pieces. Prepare to budget as if you would for any other major US City. Uber is probably your best bet to get around quickly and cost effectively.

Pike Place Market

I’m sure Pike Place Market is on every Seattle travel guide but I will still suggest you check it out as it is a Seattle institution. It has a very cool vibe and don’t be surprised if you see some fish being thrown around.

Address: 1st Ave and Pike St., Seattle, WA 98101

CHIHULY GLASS AND GARDEN

Chihuly Glass and Garden was my favourite stop in Seattle. You can see the work of Dale Chihuly in hotels and galleries across the globe but it’s not the same as visiting an exhibit devoted entirely to him. Chihuly is an award winning glass sculptor who is famous for his bold and striking pieces. The indoor/outdoor exhibit in Seattle is housed partially in glasshouses. In certain areas of the exhibit, there’s a cool view of the space needle through the ceiling. I particularly enjoyed the fact that this exhibit is both indoor and outdoor as it provides a lot of variety in terms of artwork. The glass work in the garden really popped against all the lush plants and grass.  It’s worth spending most of your time here even if you don’t have too much time in the city.

Olympic Sculpture Park

9 acres of industrial land was transformed into the Olympic Sculpture Park which is now a free outdoor museum, beach, and green space for the public to enjoy. The collection of sculptures is curated by the Seattle Art Museum. As I’ve mentioned before, I love public Art so I really enjoyed walking through the park and admiring the creativity . I’ve embedded a video below that that provides you a glimpse of the park.

Surrey Spice Trail: 5 stops. 5 moods. 1 delicious + local adventure. 🌶️ 

The Surrey Spice Trail is a curated collection of restaurants that highlight the bold, diverse, and evolving food culture in Surrey.

1️⃣ @GupshupSocialLounge is the fun extrovert. Loud, playful, and full of Indo-fusion snacks.

2️⃣ @CloveTheArtOfDining is the artistic perfectionist. French-plated finesse, global flavours, and standout cocktails.

3️⃣ @MaharajaHospitality is timeless glam. Elevated North Indian classics, warm lighting, and hotel-lobby elegance.

4️⃣ @TokyoMithaiwala.ca is the soft girl with an edge. Desi-style high tea, mithai parfaits, and a holiday thandai.

5️⃣ @64_Sweets is the reliable one. No-fuss, all flavour, and always hits the spot.

Bonus 6️⃣ @WeAreCivicHotel is the calm after the spice. This is where I stayed, unwound, and watched the city glow from floor-to-ceiling windows.

I love how the Surrey Spice Trail is all about eating local, supporting independent kitchens, and exploring everything from fusion street food to elegant fine dining.

Save this for your next food crawl and tag your crew to plan it with you.

Civic called and said stay elevated.
A weekend @WeAreCivicHotel, Autograph Collection gave luxury, location, and a little main character energy. Between the floor-to-ceiling windows, brunch in bed, and front-row views of the @letshearitbc festival, this wasn’t just a stay—it was a whole vibe. Bonus points for enough hangers, a supportive desk chair (my back said thank you), and room service that actually slaps. Surrey, I see you.

Adding ‘cake decorator’ to my resume after this. 🎂👩‍🍳 Had the sweetest time at @thesweetspot.xxo’s cake decorating class at Yew Street Food Hall—and let me tell you, my cake got a serious glow-up! ✨ Chef Amanda is a total pro—so patient, so creative, and her cakes? Next level. If you’re in Kamloops and need custom cakes or sugar cookies, she’s your go-to. 🍰💖

Oh, and while I was there, I finally tried Taco Alley at @yewstreetfoodhall—taco ‘bout a masterpiece. 🌮🔥

Finally, a spot in Kamloops that gets it.🔥 @maaza.kitchen 

I was invited to the grand opening of Maaza Indian Kitchen & Bar last weekend, and let’s just say—this place understood the assignment. The bold North Indian flavors, the Indo-Chinese heat, and the vibe? All on point.

The food was a full experience. The Veggie Manchurian was crispy, saucy, and packed with flavor. The Chilli Chicken brought the perfect kick, and the Chicken Kebabs were smoky, juicy, and unreal. But the real scene-stealer? The Lamb Sizzler Platter—steaming, sizzling, and demanding all the attention.🔥

And the best part? Maaza is about to become even more of a vibe with live music on Saturdays. Kamloops, we needed this.
