I’ve given out recommendations countless times for folks visiting these cities, and these quick guides that I wrote – Seattle for my wedding in 2014; Montreal for my friend’s wedding in 2017) – have been shared frequently whenever someone asked me where to go.
As I write this we’re in the midst of trying to flatten the COVID-19 curve; who knows how many of these activities or restaurants will survive the loss of business due to the pandemic. I hope they pull through and you get a chance to visit.
Cities
Montreal
I threw this quick list together for folks who are visiting Montreal for the first time. I did this on my tablet so I didn’t add links or directions to places, so you’ll have to Google for addresses, etc.
Caveat: it’s been over 6 years since I’ve lived in Montreal, so a lot of my information is probably outdated. Surely some of these places no longer exist or have changed since I’ve last been - and surely newer places have appeared with which I’m not yet acquainted.
Cities
Seattle
Note: This was originally put together for our wedding (Aug 2010) – some information here might be outdated. I briefly updated it in May 2019.
Seattle Center Full of touristy goodness! Space Needle, Pacific Science Center, EMP (Experience Music Project)/Sci-Fi Museum, Chihuly Gardens and Glass, etc… a CityPass would be your best bet if you’d like to visit multiple museums and/or attractions.
Updates (May 2019) Don’t go up the space needle.
