Hi! I you’re looking for some things to do if you visit Seattle during the summer in 2024, I’ve got you covered!
Hi, I’m Carly Henderson, I’m a TV host here in Seattle (watch my show Studio 13 Live weekdays at 10am on FOX 13 - we have so much fun!) and I’m constantly showing you cool things to do around the PNW!
I’m also a features reporter for Good Day Seattle on Friday mornings, where I get to try things like ice cream tacos on live TV so you know what’s good!
Here’s what to do:
Take a ferry around Washington! Vashon Island is a quick ferry ride from West Seattle, and Bainbridge and Whidbey Island are options as well! Have less time? Take the Water Taxi from downtown Seattle to Alki Beach in West Seattle. Anytime I have the option to take a ferry, I do it!
Cool down with a sweet treat like Hellenika Cultured Gelato at Pike Place Market! They’ll let you taste some of their flavors and they are so creative and out of control delicious. Cultured gelato has a kind of Greek yogurt tartness (so it’s healthy, right? Right!) and the siblings running this place are super kind!
Here’s a video where I try their flavors and show you TONS of other things you could do during the summer in 2024 or really anytime at Pike Place!
I also loved the sweets (and lattes) at Sweet Alchemy (at the very top of this post)
Space Needle: See what this iconic landmark is all about. Be sure to go up to the observation deck! It’s an unparalleled 360 degree view with a rotating floor!
I also climbed the stairs to the top of the Space Needle for a good cause!
Here’s a fun video where I got to become a Space Needle elevator operator for a day :)
