Seattle Guide for Baby & Company
Written for Baby & Company.
With the extraordinary amount of construction, traffic, and changes to the Belltown landscape, we understand why many of you may detour around this corner of the city. So, we’ve outlined a staycation adventure for you! Our must-see guide offers a brief introduction to our fantastic new neighbors, and an easy map to this buzzing zip code.
Baby & Company is proud to have been an anchor since 1976, a fixture throughout the Belltown transformation. Regardless of how much our city has evolved over the last several years, we still feel like a small corner store, and we always look forward to hearing what you’ve been up too. We have some wonderful things to share with you and a few stories to tell as well. If it’s been awhile since you’ve stopped by, come on down and see what all the fuss is about, baby!
Palihotel
If you’re like us, your favorite parts about Seattle are decidedly un-corporate. The Palihotel gets that, and they’ve designed rooms that match the eclectic, personality-driven vibe of our fair city. Case in point: you’ll find bunk beds, Smeg fridges, and a fab mix of patterns and décor in this marketplace hotel.
Address: 107 Pine St, Seattle, WA 98101
Queen City
Basically anything Linda Derschang touches turns to gold––this new venture proves to be another success. While preserving the bones of a classic Seattle institution, Linda deftly adds her signature touches: feel-good food, killer bar, and cozy, can’t-stay-away atmosphere to name a few. Also there’s a daily happy hour! Yeah, we’ll see you there.
Address: 2201 1st Ave, Seattle, WA 98121
SAM
The Peacock in the Desert exhibit at the Seattle Art Museum features five centuries of prolific art from the kingdom of Marwar-Jodhpur. Many of the pieces are on display outside the palace for the very first time. Starting the visual journey with the re-creation of a royal wedding reception, you will remain awestruck from beginning to end. On now through January 21st.
Address: 1300 1st Ave, Seattle, WA 98101
Pink Door
Simply put, The Pink Door is iconic. This dinner-and-a-show hotspot has been delighting guests since 1981, and they’re only getting better. Every Saturday night, you can indulge in classic Italian fare and the longest running cabaret and burlesque show in the PNW. We recommend ordering our namesake drink, the Baby 75, it’s delicious, and goes with everything.
Address: 1919 Post Alley, Seattle, WA 98101
Deep Dive & Willmott’s Ghost
Renée Erickson knows food. A world-class chef, and seafood visionary, she has brought her expertise in both menu and design to the Amazon spheres. We recommend dinner at the brand new Willmott’s Ghost, followed by drinks at Deep Dive, a sumptuously intimate space. Both are worth the trip for aesthetics alone, but the food and drinks will encourage a return visit.
Address Deep Dive: 620 Lenora St, Seattle, WA 98121
Address Willmott’s Ghost: 2100 6th Ave, Seattle, WA 98121
Thompson Hotel
The best way to staycation is with a romantic sleepover at the Thompson, a boutique, waterfront hotel. Greet the day with hot coffee and regionally-inspired brunch at Scout, and wind down with rooftop cocktails and views for days at The Nest–both conveniently located within the establishment.
Address: 110 Stewart St, Seattle, WA 98101
Le Pichet
Bonjour baby! This petite café keeps it classic, and we wouldn’t change a thing. We love popping by for a brioche and coffee, or dining in for the to-die-for roast chicken. Throw on your frenchiest outfit du jour for a round trip to cuisine heaven.
Address: 1933 1st Ave, Seattle, WA 98101
Bobbie Medlin
Not solely a gallery or a store, this unique space has treasures of all kind on display, and for sale. For a truly one-of-a-kind experience, we recommend gifting loved ones a piece from this collection of fine jewelry, art, and objects.

Take time off your morning routine with a lash lift and tint–you’ll wish you’d done so sooner!
