Sugar Plum Bakery has brownies and cookies of all sorts as well as these amazing seasonal ice cream bowls, including orange ginger and caramel pear during the spring. You can also individualize your own bowl, get soft serve, or grab a scoop of ice cream on a sugar cone (GF and non-GF available)."

"Vegan champion Makini Howell doesn’t spread the plant-based gospel through savory dishes alone, oh no. The restaurateur’s quaint sweet shop dispenses soft scoops of seasonal delight: hibiscus cherry ginger, rhubarb orange blossom, and avocado lavender with black pepper, which isn’t too floral or spicy but balanced despite its atypical combo. A whole lot of lattice."

"Make your way to West Seattle via water taxi to the sands of Alki Beach, the spot where the city’s founders first arrived.

Once in West Seattle, hop on a westbound Route 37 or 775 bus to Alki Ave."

"Located in West Seattle, Alki Beach features a long beach strip, picnic tables, a bathhouse, and an art studio. Most visitors go to enjoy the beach life, as well as the swimmers who brave the cold waters of Puget Sound. In November 1851, Alki Beach was the site of landing by settlers who were on their way to Seattle."

"For an opposite view of Seattle, head to West Seattle’s Alki Beach. It’s one of the only true sand beaches in the area, so it’s packed during the warm weather. You can see how the city looks from across Puget Sound, which is especially fun as the sun is going down."

"The bricks lining the ground and the west side of Occidental Square are an iconic part of Seattle—and make great backdrops. The corridor of trees down the center can also provide some solid, natural framing. A post shared by Camila Picolli (@milapicolli) on May 10, 2018 at 12:35pm PDT"
