48 Hours in Seattle with Nelson Yong

April 10, 2019

Seattle draws a lot of similarities to Melbourne. From 4 seasons in one day to being one of the trendiest and exciting places to try fusion food, which tend to be also hidden down alleys and hidden doors. Mainly, Seattle established itself as the coffee capital of the United States early on, as it played as the birthplace to a humble cafe little cafe called Starbucks. From then on Starbucks has now grown to caffeinate nearly every major city in the world.

You can not let Seattle’s, Melbourne like weather deter you from getting out and about. Our friend and Seattle insider, @NELSON_YONG has put together an absolute drooling list of bars, restaurants to eat at, and if that food binge gets too much, he has also given us some great spots to crash whilst you visit this must-see city on West Coast.
