Green Peach and Coco: Our introductory guide to the Emerald Citayyy

Coco and Peachy are brand spanking new Seattleites - Seattlens... Seattleons? Inhabitants of Seattle! And they have found some treasures that are worth checking out upon arrival to this sparkly green city. Most of these places are markets, restaurants, and clothing stores. Coco and Peach are grad students with no moneys, therefore if you are actually looking for a guide to “what’s really super expensive, artisan, and fancy in Seattle” then please look elsewhere.  Come back after our classy grad degrees have been acquired and we will show you around the money lusty parts o' town. For now, hop on the bus or our bike handlebars and we'll show you around!

First and foremost- Seattle's ‘I’ district or the International district. Reason: Cheap!!!! You can get a foot long Vietnamese sammy for $2! Yes that is NOT $10, $6 or even $5.  It is $2 and it is amazing.  Gooey seasame steambuns, yeah they got those too, for 50 cents. Here are some Peach and Coco’s favorite little spots in the International district.

Coco and Peach have also spent some time on “The Ave” which is University Avenue where all the U-Dub kids hang out and do cool things. Coco and Peach hang out there sometimes, but probably not being that cool because their favorite store on the Ave is called Gargoyles and Statuary. Here are some of the hotspots on The Ave:

Gargoyle Statuary  gargoylestatuary.com

4550 University Way Northeast, Seattle, WA 98105-4511

Red Light Clothing Exchange  redlightvintage.com

4560 University Way Northeast, Seattle, WA 98105-4511

oh my goth

Peach spent a lot of time in the neighborhoods of Beacon Hill and Columbia City, here are some of the best places to visit there. Full-Tilt Ice Cream is worth the effort in finding. They have old school arcade games and a friendly, unpretentious atmosphere. Full Tilt has the best flavors, ingredients and prices, sans the stupid attitude that is like “hey our shit is like super artisan, so that means it is better, and we can charge like a billion dollars for sugar, eggs and cream”

Full Tilt Ice Cream 

4759 Brooklyn Avenue Northeast, Seattle, Washington 98105

Geraldine's Counter Restaurant 

4872 Rainier Avenue South, Seattle, WA 98118

Ok, let’s take a trip to the heart of the city. The downtown area is a tourist trap but does have a lot to offer. Peach and Coco have not spent that much time there due the minimal stacks of that beautiful green paper that allows one to make it rain.

Penzeys Spices 

117 Pine Street, Seattle, WA 98101

Seattle Public Library - Central Library, because it’s free and smelly!!! 

1000 4th Ave, Seattle, WA 98104
