There's a great hiking/biking trail loop that has great views and is a nice safe place for the family to enjoy. Depending on the weekend, there are fun neighborhood events during the Summer here as well.

Great hole in the wall place for Vietnamese food. Meet here with friends. Have a beer, try something fishy. You probably won't regret it. Canh Chua, Ca Kho To, greens... Vietnamese comfort food. It's all pretty good. The place got touristy because Bourdain went here and filmed his "The Layover" show.

I grew up coming here and watching their bakery make our birthday cakes. It is such a lovely neighborhood place. The Italian deli is fantastic too.

The oldest restaurant in Seattle. There's proof in the longevity! We love going here for comfort Japanese food. This corner of the Int'l District is also fun to explore.

Always busy, always fast, and always good. This is definitely a hole in the wall place, but check out the very diverse clientele. Love the intersection of the neighborhood here. The mural that borders the parking lot is fantastic.

High end, locally sourced, Vietnamese food. Best pho in the city. The cocktails are pretty good too. Look past the initial hipster impression this place gives off. Yes, it is cool too. Open at almost all hours. Beware, no changing table for kids in the bathroom.

This place is no longer a secret. Mario Batali's parents run it, and they make a mean sandwich. Only open during lunch and get there early. They sell out pretty quickly.
