Let the morning unfold at its own pace
Seattle’s final weeks of summer are worth savoring before shorter days and cooler weather settle in. At Sequel, residents can start a staycation with a morning that has nowhere else to be. Make breakfast in your chef-style kitchen, pour another cup of coffee, and enjoy the natural light from the floor-to-ceiling windows. A long soak in the tub can add another relaxing touch when you want the day to feel different from your usual routine. Instead of immediately heading out, give yourself time to enjoy your apartment and decide what kind of day sounds best.
Take advantage of a Seattle summer afternoon
When you are ready for some movement, stop by Sequel’s fitness center and spend time on the Peloton bikes before exploring the neighborhood. The community’s location near Pike Place Market makes one of Seattle’s most recognizable destinations an easy addition to a staycation itinerary. Browse the market, pick up something fresh for dinner, or grab a coffee and enjoy the energy of downtown without trying to fit every attraction into one afternoon. The Seattle Aquarium offers another nearby option when you want to turn the day into a bigger outing. Keeping your plans flexible lets you experience the city like a visitor while still having home waiting nearby.
Bring dinner up to the rooftop
Save one of Seattle’s late-summer evenings for dinner at home with a better view. Sequel’s rooftop lounge features seating, a firepit, and views across downtown Seattle and Belltown. Use the community’s gas BBQs to prepare dinner, then settle in as daylight fades over the city. Invite a few friends to join you or keep the evening quiet with a favorite meal and something to read. When temperatures begin to cool after sunset, gathering around the firepit can extend the evening outdoors. It is an easy way to give a familiar summer night a vacation-inspired change of scenery.
Give yourself a neighborhood day
Another staycation day can revolve around discovering more of the places surrounding Sequel. Stop by Pike Place Market for a leisurely morning, explore the downtown shops, or spend part of the afternoon at Olympic Sculpture Park. When dinner arrives, choose a neighborhood restaurant you have not tried or revisit an old favorite without rushing through the meal. Sequel residents can also take advantage of benefits at Conversation Kitchen & Bar and The Nest through the community’s connection with Thompson Seattle. Keeping the day’s plans close to home means you can experience more of downtown while maintaining the relaxed rhythm of a staycation.
Carry the best habits into fall
The end of summer does not have to mean giving up the routines that made your staycation restorative. Use Sequel’s work-from-home spaces when you need a change of scenery, make the fitness center part of your weekly schedule, or take your dog to the community dog run for a convenient outdoor break. Rooftop dinners can continue whenever Seattle weather cooperates, while neighborhood outings give you new ways to enjoy your surroundings throughout the year. Even an occasional slow morning at home can provide a welcome reset during a busy week. At Sequel, the final days of summer are an opportunity to enjoy downtown Seattle differently and discover simple routines worth repeating.
