Seattle's largest off-leash area, about 8.6 acres inside the 350-acre Magnuson Park on Lake Washington. A big flat play field, a winding gravel trail and a separate small-and-shy dog area near the NE 74th Street entrance.
No photo yetA Seattle brunch stalwart running since 1997, serving local and organic breakfast with the famous build-your-own topping bar for pancakes and French toast. The Roosevelt location is the original, attached to the University Inn, with year-round patio seating.
The 2.8-mile Loop Trail is a designated National Recreation Trail inside 534-acre Discovery Park, Seattle's largest. It climbs gently through forest and open meadow to bluff-top views over Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains.
The flagship beer garden of Fremont Brewing, a family-owned Seattle brewery founded in 2009. Open-air picnic seating plus covered, heated outdoor tables and some indoor space, pouring house beers, cider and rotating guest taps.
No photo yetA 189-room boutique Kimpton hotel in the middle of downtown, steps from Pike Place Market and the Seattle Art Museum. Under the brand-wide pet policy, pets of any size, breed or number are welcome at no extra charge.
No photo yetA barrel-aged sour and wild-ale brewery in Magnolia with indoor taproom seating and a patio, plus rotating food trucks. Its homepage states the taproom is family and dog friendly, so visitors can bring their own dog inside or out.
Leash rules, off-leash hours and whether dogs are allowed inside are set locally and change without notice. Each listing here says what the venue or the responsible authority publishes, and the listing page links to the page we checked, so you can confirm the current rule before you set out. Outside a signed off-leash area, keep the dog on a lead.
No venue can pay to be listed or to rank higher, and no listing carries an invented rating or a stock photograph standing in for the real place. If something here is out of date, tell us and we will re-check it.
Patio culture year-round, and a city that treats dogs as regulars.
Forest trails inside the city limits and the most dog-tolerant coffee shops in the US.
Trailheads twenty minutes from downtown and breweries with fenced yards.
The best off-leash beaches in the country, plus rooftop bars that allow leashed dogs.
Riverwalks, prairie fields and brunch counters that keep a bowl by the door.
America's hardest city to bring a dog to, and the most rewarding once you know which patios actually say yes.
Send it in and we will check it against the venue's own information before it goes live. Venue owners can also send a photograph of their place — free, with the credit kept.
