The city is dog-friendly, filled with off-leash parks that are good for casual strolls and hikes. Discovery Park , Seattle’s largest green space will fulfill your tourist and out-of-city needs. Or Magnuson Park Beach with its off-leash swimming area. After the fun, you’ll easily find a dog-friendly coffee shops, bars, and restaurants to catch your breath.
Generally, people enjoy visiting Seattle during late June through early September, since it’s warm, sunny, and rain tends to be more minimal, making it a great time to travel here with your dog. Additionally, don’t miss the dog-friendly wineries that are popular around Seattle.
Keep in mind staying downtown can be exhausting for dogs, especially if you are taking them to explore areas with heavy traffic, tourists, or noises. Many popular Seattle tours also do not allow dogs. Avoid missing out on your precious time in the Emerald City and let your dog relax in the hotel with a trusted pet sitter from the Seattle area.
