Best French Bakery in Renton

"Ascend 520 feet in the air to the Observation Deck (the top of the needles stands at 605 feet!) near the top of the Space Needle. The elevators to the top are part of the thrill!. The 43-second ride in a glass enclosed elevator takes you to the top where you can enjoy the SkyCity (revolving) Restaurant, 360 degree views of the Seattle skyline and harbor, and interactive SkyQ kiosks to play and discover on."

"Can one think of Seattle without visions of the iconic Space Needle?. An absolute must-do when visiting the city is to get close to that needle!. Built in 1962 for the World’s Fair, the Space Needle is still one of the most recognizable structures in the world, and for good reason—it really is cool!"

"This is easily Seattle’s most recognized tourist attraction. A trip to the top is well worth the trek; from 520 feet above the ground, you can see panoramic views of the surrounding area below. Consider going at night to see the city lights or at sunset for some amazing views."

"Three examples: they give 1 percent of their sales away to charities, they host culinary classes for Seattle Public Schools, and they buy the cookies they use to make their Scout Mint ice cream directly from local girl scouts. The menu includes both standard and unorthodox flavors (Earl Grey, anyone?), and 90 percent of the ingredients come from the Pacific Northwest. There are non-dairy options."

"There are many fantastic ice cream options in Seattle and one of our very favorites is Molly Moon’s Homemade Ice Cream. At Molly Moon’s they offer 14 different flavors- ten stay on the menu year-round and four rotate seasonally. Sample to your heart’s content and no matter what you do try the melted chocolate and the Yeti (caramel with chocolate pieces and homemade granola)."

"With eight locations in the Seattle area, Molly Moon’s is a popular, local stop. Sustainably minded, they keep things local by partnering with nearby farmers and producers. Not only are 90% of their ingredients from the Pacific Northwest, but everything in their shop is 100% compostable."

"Boasting four locations across the city these breakfast specialists have your brunch needs covered, highlighted by more than a half dozen Benedicts made with everything from smoked salmon to braised pork shoulder, as well as a diverse range of other "favorites" including biscuits topped with a local, foraged mushroom gravy, and a dungeness crab grilled cheese with gouda & spinach pesto, but the best option is probably something from their breakfast Bar, which is basically just a bunch of different kinds of pancakes, French toast, and waffles. How to Order: Call 206.462.6400 for pickup and GrubHub for delivery. Available for Delivery/Takeout"

"website | directions | neighborhoods: 4 locations in Ballard, Roosevelt, U-District, & SLU | best for: brunch with vegetarian options. Portage Bay is loud and often has a wait. You’d think that be enough to deter me, but rather they’ve ended up on my best brunch in Seattle list."

"It's served all day, seven days a week at the Portage Bay Ballard and 65th Street locations. The other spots serve brunch all day on the weekends and until 11:30 a.m."

"What started as a side project at charities and farmer’s markets for founder Autumn Martin, who cut her teeth as a pastry chef at Canlis and then head chocolatier at Theo Chocolate, soon turned into a bricks-and-mortar shop in the Ballard neighborhood. Combining her love for chocolate and baking, she created the Dark Decadence molten chocolate cake, which is still the most popular item on the menu. Newcomers include a molten peanut butter cake, a strawberry cake and a warm cookie with your choice of ice cream and topping."

"Despite the terribly timed opening – almost the exact week that the pandemic shut down restaurants last year – this Vietnamese-inspired coffee shop quickly became a neighborhood staple. Crowds line up for the Instagram-perfect purple haze latte, made with house-made ube syrup and ube foam and the signature Coffeeholic dream that layers cheese foam on a classic Vietnamese-style coffee."

"Beneath strings of colorful papel picado, lives shelf after shelf of bright pink sweet rolls known as conchas, plus a myriad of other Mexican treats: sugar-dusted butter bread, puerquitos, flan, and more. But be warned, if you want to go home with any of these baked goods, it’s cash only."

"Chaco Canyon is a sweet little spot in Seattle that started life as a juice bar and cafe. Now, it's expanded - both in terms of menu offerings and locations (there are three branches around Seattle). Offering delicious organic meals, juices and sweet treats, you can be sure of finding nutritious, healthy meals here."

"Interlaken Park is proof that one does not need to leave the city to get some nature and a great workout. The park is densely wooded with well-maintained ravine trails, located on the northern end of Capitol Hill. Owning to the well maintained and thrilling trails, which offers excellent opportunities to witness wildlife up close, this park is frequently visited by hikers and joggers."

"While many of the parks in Seattle provide impressive views of the city, Kerry Park gives you one of the best vantage points to take it all in. After all, Kerry Park was specifically given to the City in 1927 so that every guest could enjoy the view."

"Small yet scenic, Kerry Park is located on the south side of Queen Anne Hill. Visitors can enjoy a view of the ferries and marvel at the skyline. Besides great views, it also serves as a shooting location for some films and TV shows."

"While in Seattle, if the mood strikes you to "pop the question" (any question will do, really), you'll find the answer at Kerry Park."

"Then it’s time to visit Volunteer Park, one of the city’s prettiest green spaces. Climb to the top of the brick water tower for a workout with a view, or gaze at the Space Needle through the middle of the circular Black Sun sculpture. Venture inside the Seattle Asian Art Museum, guarded by twin camel statues, or enter an urban botanical jungle inside the glassy walls of the conservatory. Kids will be drawn to the playground, but Lake View Cemetery next door attracts fans of the late Bruce Lee, buried here."

"Given its name, it is no surprise that the Volunteer Park Water Tower is this park’s biggest attraction. Built over 100 years ago the Water Tower is a fun way to get a wonderful view of the Seattle skyline. Climbing it’s 107 stairs rewards you with 360-degree views of Seattle and the surrounding area."

"Located near the Asian Food Center on the north side of town, this restaurant represents recipes from Guizhou province, with dishes like lamb noodle soup with pickled greens. The house specialty is a sour soup option, which adds paste from stir-fried pickled chili peppers, tomatoes, rice vinegar, and garlic. Available for takeout and delivery via Uber Eats and Chowbus."
