About Seattle2026.com
Seattle2026.com is a local guide created by a few longtime Seattle residents who have spent years showing friends and family around our favorite parts of the city.
This site is built for visitors looking to make the most of their time in Seattle. We share practical tips, local favorites, and curated recommendations for where to stay, what to eat, and how to explore the area, whether you’re here for a weekend, a big event, or just passing through.
We’re not affiliated with any official city or tourism organization, including but not limited to the City of Seattle, Washington Tourism Commission, Port of Seattle, Seattle Sports and Events Council, SEA2026, FIFA, US Soccer or any other organization. We’re just locals who love this place and want to help you enjoy it too.
If you find a tip that makes your trip smoother or a neighborhood you wouldn’t have visited otherwise, we’ve done our job.
