52 Microadventures in 52 Weeks
Seattle Southside is full of incredible sights, activities, eats, and more. With so many places to explore, where do you begin? We'll highlight a new microadventure every week for all of 2023 to help you find your next thrill.
What is a Microadventure?
A trip doesn't have to be of epic proportions to be incredible. In fact, some of the best travel stories come from finding joy, wonder, and fun in unexpected places. That's why here in Seattle Southside we are focusing on the microadventure - the walk off the beaten path that takes you on an incredible journey without taking up too much of your time, energy, or cash. Microadventures are perfect for folks who are in town on a long layover at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, looking to fill free time before or after a conference or meeting, about to head out on a cruise, or who are staying in Seattle Southside as their home base for their Pacific Northwest adventures.
Our neck of the woods is full of a fantastic array of places to go, things to do, dishes to eat, and experiences to be had that you'd never expect. In fact, we're regularly told by locals that they're surprised to learn about something in the area, even if they've lived here their whole lives! Don't believe us? Follow this blog post, which will be updated every week through 2023 as we walk you through 52 microadventures in Seattle Southside.
