Seattle is often misunderstood by the masses. If you believe mainstream media, our vibrant city—nestled between picturesque mountains and sea—is nothing but rain, coffee, and weed.
We’re proud of our city, so all of us here at The Stranger (Seattle’s only media outlet) have put together this guide to the best attractions, food, music, galleries, and, yes, weed shops, so you can see the best the city has to offer, whether you’re here for a weekend or for good.
