Seattle Spring Events

As the sun sets later and the flowers start to bloom, spring in Seattle comes to life. The Pike Place Market flower stalls begin to fill with colorful bouquets from local farms, restaurants shift to their spring menus. Goodbye cassoulet and hello asparagus season at Café Campagne… and the beautiful Seattle waterfront glistens as we gather on our terrace to take in the views. This spring offers many reasons to plan a visit or a staycation in downtown Seattle. We’ve put together a list of our favorite things to do in spring in Seattle.
