It's not often that the end of your hike results in more climbing, but Heybrook Lookout is worth the extra steps. After a short (mostly uphill) hike, the lookout rises from the bluff. Climbing to the top of the lookout rewards you with a panoramic view of the surrounding mountains. As an added bonus, you can rent the lookout for overnight stays. Just plan ahead, the lookout is only available from May-September and reserves quickly. . . . . . #amazing #beautiful #naturelovers #firelookout #photooftheday #forest #mothernature #beauty #camping #sunny #woods #overlook #view #nature #amazing #wa #sky #landscape #view #trip #mountains #naturelover #naturephotography #naturephoto #seattlebucketlist #follow #photography #outdoors #hiking #pnw

As much as we love crazy and unique sweets, sometimes we yearn for our comfort food... and that's where A La Mode Pies comes in. Serving up an incredible selection of handmade pies, A La Mode creates the pies that you grew up on. Their apple is amazing and the marionberry is my personal favorite. If cream pies are your thing, try the chocolate mousse or the key lime. Or if you are looking for something new, the Blue Hawaiian may be just what you're looking for: blueberry, crushed pineapple and toasted coconut! Pies are available by the slice, whole pie or in mini form so there's an option for every occasion! . . . . . #pie #sugar #dessert #desserts #food #sweet #homemade #yummy #yum #foodpics #eat #delicious #eating #seattle #foodphotography #hungry #tasty #chocolate #foodstagram #nomnom #follow #handmade #icecream #sweettooth #sweets #seattlebucketlist #travel #alamode #follow #unique

Many places attempt to put their own spin on classic American fare, with varying degrees of success, but it's not often that the new version rise above the classic. Katsu Burger is one of those places. With all of their burgers prepared deep-fried, katsu style, Katsu Burger will make you reconsider how a burger can be. Add in nori fries, wasabi cole slaw and unique cocktails and you have a meal like no other! . . . . . #seattle #travel #instafood #yum #delicious #eat #dinner #food #stuffed #hot #beautiful #lunch #love #sharefood #delicious #eating #foodpic #foodpics #hungry #instafood #amazing #burger #fresh #seattlebucketlist #follow #katsu #frenchfries #discover #cocktails

Every year the power of nature is on display as the salmon return to their home rivers and streams to mate. The salmon ladder at the Ballard Locks is a great way to see them up close without jumping in with them! The best viewing is from July until the end of September, so don't wait too long. . . . . . . #amazing #beautiful #naturelovers #natural #migration #cloud #mothernature #beauty #beach #sunny #seaside #blue #view #nature #pretty #amazing #ballard#sky #underwater #view #trip #fish #naturelover #naturephotography #naturephoto #seattlebucketlist #follow #salmon #outdoors #locks

Arguably, some of Seattle's best food is located in "neighborhood secret" spots. The kinds of places you only find out about when a friend of a friend fesses up to where they keep bringing the amazing dinner options from. iSandwich in Shoreline is one of those places. While they serve refreshing boba tea and tasty teriyaki, it's the Bahn Mi sandwiches that have people coming back. Served on a flaky roll and stuffed with fresh ingredients, the bahn mi sandwiches are incredible! And for around 5 bucks each, you can get a few to share.... or not. . . . . . #seattle #travel #instafood #yum #delicious #eat #dinner #food #stuffed #hot #beautiful #lunch #sharefood #delicious #eating #foodpic #foodpics #hungry #instafood #amazing #instagood #fresh #seattlebucketlist #follow #shoreline #sandwich #discover #bahnmi #vietnamese
