These are panko-fried Japanese hamburgers. I can't really describe how good they are. I always get the original Ohayou Gozaimasu and seaweed salad. Or, if you're feeling ambitious, try the Mt. Fuji, which has full-sized beef, chicken AND pork patties!

In my humble opinion, this is the best salmon meal in Seattle. They serve only wild caught salmon freshly grilled, either with salad and rice or in a baguette sandwich. To get there, go into the main entrance of the market (under the iconic sign, near the pig) and walk to the right. Look for the sign on the right for Market Grill. There are only a few places to sit, but the wait is worth it and it's affordable!

My favorite Seattle sushi joint. The chef is the son of the famous sushi chef Jiro Ono (from the documentary "Jiro Dreams of Sushi"). There are fancier spots (Umi Sushi House, nearby, is another good one with more atmosphere!) but Shiro's is just special!

Strolling north on the walking trails along the waterfront from downtown is one of my favorite things to do in Seattle. It's a perfect thing to do in the late evening as the sun is setting. You can often see seals on the beach or playing just near the shore. Or grab one of Seattle's rideshare bikes and take advantage of the bike path!
