CAPITOL HILL

Each neighborhood in Seattle has a unique feel, architectural style and social scene. Let’s take a ride and explore some of them! We will check out Capitol Hill, center of nightlife, meander through the Volunteer Park neighborhood to see some of Seattle’s beautiful old Victorian-style homes, then we're off to Columbia City, Beacon Hill, and Georgetown. There are spectacular views all through this drive! If you’re a new resident of Seattle, or considering moving here, this is a great tour for you to start building a mental map of the feel of the city, guided by a resident of 30 years. For a private version of this tour (1 to 4 people) please call/text

On any given day in Seattle, there are experiences to be had that cannot be scheduled… Maybe its a super windy day, a rare and perfect time for visiting the Sound Garden! Perhaps the resident orcas will decide to swim in Elliott Bay, so lets go see them. Maybe Jeff B. is having a BBQ at the beach house, so let’s hop a ferry and head west for a few hours! This tour is a dealer’s choice tour for a max of 4 people (only 1 ticket needed for up to 4 guests), where you allow me to host a personalized “best of the day” adventure. (There is no actual gambling on this tour :-) You can tell me what you are interested in doing, and I’ll craft a fun outing for us. NOTE: I chose Capitol Hill as a step on the tour, but the rest of the tour could be anywhere!

On our way to Queen Anne we'll pass Seattle Center (home of the Space Needle and MoPOP) before heading to Kerry Park for incredible views. Then we're off to Fremont for lots of public art and charm. We'll finish at Gas Works Park for stunning views, historic preservation and a glimpse into the floating home communities. There are spectacular views all through this drive!
