Just a few miles south of downtown Seattle, Seattle Southside offers a family-friendly vibe and easy access to the region’s popular sites. Including the towns of SeaTac, Des Moines, and Tukwila, Seattle Southside offers beaches, green spaces, and hundreds of microadventures—all inviting visitors to immerse themselves in the diverse Pacific Northwest culture.
Wait, what’s a microadventure?
So glad you asked! Microadventures are epic adventures—just bite-sized. They’re snackable, stackable options for off-the-beaten-path experiences that help build the perfect itinerary. Some of the best travel stories come from finding joy, wonder, and fun in unexpected places. A Seattle Southside microadventure could be something as simple as enjoying a mead or wine-tasting flight, as daring as scuba diving off the coast of Des Moines to explore an artificial reef, or as impressive as exploring the world-famous Museum of Flight. Seattle Southside is where you’ll discover things you can’t find, or do, anywhere else.
Let’s take a look at a few examples where you can …
Feast across Asia at The Eatery
The Eatery at Lam’s Seafood in Tukwila is a hidden foodie paradise. Tucked into the corner of a shopping center and attached to the fantastic Vietnamese Lam’s Seafood market, this isn’t your ordinary food court. With options ranging from Dochi Donuts to Banh Mi Station and goPoké to Golden Daisy Dim Sum, Natalie’s Sugarcane and Desserts for boba—and even Vietnam House, a full-service Vietnamese restaurant—you have a wide array of Asian cuisines to choose from for your feast. But why pick just one spot when you can, say, pick up a bowl of poké from goPoké, some bao from Golden Daisy, and wash those down with boba from Natalie’s, then indulge in a mochi donut from Dochi for dessert? The possibilities are endlessly delicious.
