- Hi everyone! Amber and Olive here from Rover.com.
We are in Seattle for the next couple of days
and are super excited to show you around
some of the most dog-friendly places
from breweries, to restaurants, to parks.
So, let's go!
(upbeat pop music)
We are here in Seattle.
Olive and I just checked in to the Alexis Hotel.
This hotel is one of the most dog-friendly hotels
in the city. And is in a perfect location,
it's right near Pioneer Square, Pike Place Market.
It's actually also a historic landmark,
which is really cool.
Built in 1901 and is recently renovated,
has really nice rooms.
Also, when we got in here,
there was a little teepee set up for Olive,
treats, a couple of toys, and she loved that.
She, as you can tell, is really digging this teepee.
So, Seattle is right on Puget Sound,
which is a perfect location to take a walk with your dog
along the water.
There are a bunch of ferries that you can take
to nearby cities as a little day trip.
And, kind of explore the smaller towns around the city.
In addition, there is an abundance of places
where you can sit outside with your dog,
have a beer, kind of people watch.
Great happy hours.
Lot's of places to go that are nearby.
All right! So, we're going to get our day started,
and Olive and I are going to head on over to Magnuson,
which is one of the area's best off-leash dog parks!

This is a really great dog park.
It's only 15 minutes outside of downtown Seattle.
And, I like to take Olive for a walk in the morning,
but sometimes I like to switch it up
and take her to the dog park and really let her
run things out before work.
This is an awesome place to stop.
It is over eight acres,
really centrally located,
and it's a really large dog park
that has trails, a bunch of open areas
for dogs who want to play fetch.
Then there is a pathway that leads down to the water.
So, if you have a dog that likes to swim or wade,
you can make your way down there.
It's a good distance from the parking lot,
so you both end up getting exercise.
Magnuson has an added bonus which is the Barkery.
They have a little trailer that is set up
right by the entrance.
They make delicious treats for your dog.
A bunch of different options that you can choose.
And a bunch of different recipes.
Olive's birthday is coming up so we are going to go get her
a special little treat before we head out.
- My name's Ben Ford. I'm one of the owners of the
Seattle Barkery.
We're here today at Magnuson off leash dog park
right behind us here.
Our trailer is open six days a week
during the summer months.
We get a lot of dog walkers coming through here,
a lot of returning customers,
and everybody taking advantage of dog treats,
as well as some human goodies, too.

We're here at Norm's.
This is a notoriously dog-friendly spot
located just a few minutes outside downtown Seattle.
There is outside seating.
Dogs are also welcome inside the bar.
They have a special little menu with some goodies for dogs.
A lot of beer on tap.
There's trivia, places to play for the dogs inside,
and this is a really fun spot to come
maybe after work if you want to grab a beer with friends,
let your dogs relax so you can catch up.
It's a really, really nice place to be,
especially in the summertime.
(upbeat pop music) (traffic)
So, we've arrived at Gasworks Park.
This is an old gas refinery
that was closed in the early 1960's
which is now a 19-acre park.
You can still see some remnants of the gas plant,
but this is a beautiful park,
it offers wonderful sweeping views of downtown Seattle.
And, it's a great place to come if you want to kind of
just hang out, maybe have a picnic,
bring a blanket to sit on the grass.
But, it's also really close to great restaurants
and breweries.
So, Olive and I are just going to take some time here,
soak up some sun,
and we will catch up with you at Fremont Brewing.
(upbeat pop music) (birds chirping)
All right, we are finishing our day here
at Fremont Brewing Company.
This is possibly one of the most well known breweries
in the greater Seattle area.
It's located here in Fremont, really easy to get to.
And, this brewery really prides itself on being
not only dog friendly, but kid friendly.
- It was really important to our owners Matt and Sarah
to make this a family friendly place,
and dogs are a part of your family.
So having you be able to bring your dog here
was really important to us,
and we really fought hard to make that acceptable
in a bar-type setting.
A lot of bars, you still can't bring dogs
where there's food being served,
which is why we don't serve food here,
or children being under 21.
So, our motto is, "Because beer matters",
and it's really about connecting with people,
enjoying the beer, chatting with people.
It's why we don't have TV's here, too.
We really want you to talk to talk to your friends
over a beer,
have your dog there with you.
Dogs are part of your family and they matter, too.
We've been here for so long,
we're such a big part of the Fremont community,
so I guess anybody who's coming to visit here,
if you want to feel like you're visiting Seattle,
come to Fremont Brewing.
- Thanks so much for joining us on our tour of Seattle.
We really only scratched the surface
on all of the dog friendly places here,
so we encourage you to come, bring your dog,
see the city for itself.

and we will see you all next time!
Cheers!
