Nothing to compete with the NewYork museums, however, it’s still the best art museum in Seattle. Good clean and spacious. They have a bit of everything but not too overwhelming which allows you to spend enough time appreciating each single display. 2-3 hours should be a good amount of time to complete a whole visit.

Of so many Japanese restaurants I’ve been to in the Seattle area, Kiku sushi is the only one that I visit back again and again. I call it a gem hiding around a small corner of Bellevue. Omakase sashimi is a must try each single time. To me, sashimi is all about freshness, and the freshest sashimi I’ve had is always here. They never fail you on the freshness and quality of their food. Also, you can never go wrong with Dragon roll and rainbow roll if you are a sushi person. The layout of the restaurant is not super fancy, however pretty clean and comfy. Staff here are also very nice, gentle and respectful. Price is relatively higher than most of the other Japanese restaurants around, but well worth it in my opinion.

Love love love. This museum has the most comprehensive collections of the ancient artworks in the US. A must go if you’re an ancient culture lover. Best tips are to get tickets online ahead of time to skip the waiting line, enter at its opening and leave until it closes. It’s a full day museum. There’s no way you can complete a tour in a few hours. So better bring a phone bank if your phone does not last a full day. So many pictures you’d want to take.
