SEATTLE STREET PHOTOGRAPHY

Seattle has become one of my favorite cities in the US to photograph. I spent all of June 2023 in the city and fell a little in love.

I had just driven all the way from LA over many days via the coastal highways, and I was looking ahead at what I planned to be more of a break in the northwest. Seattle was the last stop that I meant to be street-photography-heavy.

I planned to explore British Columbia shortly and I was headed back to the crush of the East Coast in just a couple of months, so I was sure to make my time in Seattle count.

SEATTLE STREET PHOTOGRAPHY

Though it takes a little more patience to photograph outside of the hot spots like Pike Place Market, Seattle is a really captivating city.

The waterfronts I’ve experienced in the Pacific Northwest are rockier and a bit more industrialized than that of Southern or Central California, so the vibe of the Puget Sound region is markedly different. More practical, and bustling- not as laidback.

That said, I really loved the energy. Plus, the summer months boast near-perfect weather and are a great time to wander the streets of downtown and the surrounding neighborhoods like Fremont, Chinatown, U-District, and the Seattle Center. I’d come back and hit my favorite spots all over again in a heartbeat.
