Traveler advice

What to pack

Bring water shoes

Water shoes are a must have for the local beaches; they can be rocky so it's nice to have if you plan on kayaking.
What to pack

Bring a sweater

Seattle can get nice and warm in the summer, but since we're close to the water, bring a sweater as it can still get cold!
