Julie was a very hospitable host with tons of recommendations of what to do in Seattle. I felt very welcome. She even invited me to come along on a girls' nightout, so I didn't just feel like a regular traveler on her way through. Julie's spot is a bit further from downtown though, so you'd better be traveling by car - it sometimes took me over an hour using public transport to where I wanted to go in the city. Make sure to check out Columbia City, it's just a few blocks away and has the great bakery in it, with amazing sandwiches, cookies and very tasty coffee!
