“Seattle is a town that loves sports. Home to my beloved University of Washington Huskies, Seattle is also home to several professional sports teams including the Seahawks, Mariners, Kraken, Sounders, Reign, and Storm. I highly recommend catching a Mariner game in the summertime and snacking on some garlic fries.” – Jonathan Buchholz, MD
“This picture is from a river on the Olympic peninsula when the leaves fall and the Silver salmon return. The silver and red thing in the fishes mouth is a fishing lure that is cast in likely places in the river as was successfully done here. I love to cook and my various flavors of salmon have been served many times at Addiction Track meeting here at UW over the years.” – Rick Ries, MD
“Seattle is GORGEOUS, all year round. In your everyday life, you’ll enjoy views of volcanoes, mountain ranges, glacial lakes, and adorable houseboats. We love grabbing pastries from the dozens of yummy bakeries around and going to one of Seattle’s countless parks to enjoy them. I also recommend hopping on the ferry to San Juan Islands for beautiful nature, lavender farms, and serene quiet” – Norah Essali, MD
“Seattle is a dream city for outdoor enthusiasts. Within an hour’s drive, you can find yourself outside the city and surrounded by incredible scenery and countless hiking trails to explore, whether by yourself, with friends, or accompanied by an adventurous dog.” – Kate Rean, MD
“Sailing is an amazing escape for me. I can be on the water in less than 30 minutes after work. Here, you can see me motoring through Lake Union with my best first mate.” – Nathan Sackett, MD
Seattle is a fantastic place for foodies. From food trucks to fine dining, you can find just about anything here. Above is an offering from the Omakase menu at Mashiko in West Seattle.
“One of my favorite parts of living in Seattle is the nature. There are few places where you can surf, climb a mountain, and watch the sun set behind mountains from your paddle board, all in the same weekend. The best part is you can usually even bring your dog! In your year (or more) that you spend here, I’d encourage you to check out the beauty that is all around in our area”. Justin Stamschror, MD
“One of my favorite things about living in Seattle is all of the wonderful places to visit for brief getaways nearby. My favorites are Leavenworth, Olympic National Park, and the San Juan Islands. We recently went to Orcas Island for my son’s 2nd birthday and he absolutely loved it (and so did we!) – Nadejada Bespalova, MD
