Favorite Fall Community Spots

Seattle in the fall is a sensory experience like no other. A short ride from Sequel Apartments is Chihuly Garden and Glass, a must-see exhibit that transforms during the fall months. The interplay of the glass sculptures and the vibrant autumn hues of the surrounding gardens offers a stunning visual contrast you won’t find anywhere else.

While always a Seattle staple, Pike Place Market truly shines in the fall. Fresh apples, gourds, and locally crafted goods fill the market stalls, making it an ideal spot to support local artisans while picking up seasonal ingredients. The market’s fall events, like cooking demonstrations and autumn festivals, provide endless ways to engage with the community.

Living in Seattle has its perks, especially when it comes to the coffee culture. Coffee shops mean different things to different kinds of people, making it nearly impossible to compile a definitive list of the best coffee spots in a place. Do you want a place to chill on a laptop? A high-quality espresso? Ethiopian-influenced coffee?

At Sequel Apartments, we love supporting local businesses, and we’re excited to share a partial list showcasing the different varieties of coffee you can find all over the Seattle area.

Top Three Spots

Starbucks

While Starbucks is a global name, its roots are firmly planted in Seattle. The Starbucks at Pike Place Market serves a wide variety of drinks. Remember to try some of their exclusive Pike Place blends this summer.

Cafe Vita at KEXP

This place is arguably too Seattle-y; you can see the Space Needle and watch the KEXP DJs work. It is a perfect place to hang out and enjoy the beautiful space. Since it’s a Vita, the coffee quality is consistently excellent, and the café collaborates with various roasters for special events and residencies. They offer the best deal in town: drip coffee is just $1 before 8 a.m. on weekdays.

Elm Coffee Roasters

Elm Coffee Roasters offers a unique coffee experience with its small-batch, handcrafted roasts. Located just a short walk from Sequel Apartments, it’s an ideal place to unwind with a delicious cup of coffee. Their different flavors from countries like Colombia and Peru make them a favorite among locals.

Supporting Local

Supporting local businesses helps the community thrive and enhances the overall apartment living experience. Other than coffee shops, consider exploring other local gems in Seattle like Pike Place Market, Seattle Aquarium, and various restaurants.

With summer on the horizon, it’s best to start preparing your house to welcome the warm weather. Apartment living at Sequel requires a few simple hacks to refresh and organize your space. You don’t have to worry about deep cleaning and stressful activities, your house can be ready for the balmy temperatures in under 24 hours.

Storing Winter and Spring Items, Bringing Out Summer Essentials

Among the activities involved in preparing your home for the summer is putting away items you don’t need. Before storage, clean the items to prevent odor and stains. Store delicate items in breathable bags and boxes. Label your storage containers with their contents and season. Switch to lighter sheets for the summer to avoid sweating at night. Percale and linen sheets can keep you cool in the warm weather.

Since you won’t need your winter clothes, store them in garment bags. Avoid plastics as they can trap moisture, favoring the growth of mildew. Cardboard boxes can be used for accessories and boots. Put your summer outfits at the front and move your winter clothes to the back of your closet. This allows you to rediscover old favorites and pair them with new designs.

Shop Local

Community living allows you to support local businesses while enjoying the warm weather. Consider taking a food tour at the local Pike Place Market. This iconic market is full of historical aspects and delicious local food. Food tours include early-bird testing, plant-based food tours, and seafood tasting. Shug’s Soda Fountain and Ice Cream offer a memorable summer treat.

Get a breathtaking view of the Seattle skyline by taking a ferry to Bainbridge Island. Sailing away from Colman Dock gives a clear view of the city. You can visit Bainbridge Island’s local shops and boutiques for a shopping adventure.
