Fort Casey State Park

State park
1280 Engle Rd, Coupeville, WA 98239, USA
Fort Casey State Park

"Fort Casey is a park on Whidbey Island, Washington, with these abandoned bunkers. It's a bunch of abandoned spooky bunkers that I used to go camping there as a kid, and it was really fun to play hide and seek in the spooky abandoned bunkers. Recently they repainted it and made it all nice now, so it's a tourist attraction, but I missed when it was still like rusty metal, scary ass bunkers because it was just more fun."

GameWorks

Video arcade

GameWorks

"Another place is GameWorks in Seattle, like a super sick arcade. There are lots of Japanese games involving instruments, almost like Guitar Hero, but they have drums and a xylophone — those are so fun because the songs are always upbeat and crazy."

Howarth Park

Park
1127 Olympic Blvd, Everett, WA 98203, United States
Howarth Park

"Howarth Park in Everett that's where 'White Mercedes' was filmed. It's like a childhood park for me because not only is it a park with a playground, basketball and tennis courts, but there's also a little forest and the ocean, so it has everything you could want."

Kayak Point

Park

Kayak Point

"I love Kayak Point. There's the ocean and the woods and I always see so many seals there. I love to see their little heads out of the water — it's so silly."

Uwajimaya

Asian grocery store
600 5th Ave S, Seattle, WA 98104, United States
Uwajimaya

"I'd take friends visiting Seattle to Chinatown for sure, and we'd go to Uwajimaya, which is like an Asian grocery store with also a food court. I'd probably get a roasted duck with them, like a Banh Mi sandwich, because that shit is so good."
