Why this plan works
Every stop sits in Pike Pine Retail Core, so the whole plan happens inside one neighborhood. Paramount Theatre is the main event and takes the biggest block of time; the other stops are built around it. It finishes at Alder & Ash — a short, low-effort stop you can skip if you're ready to call it. Best suited to couples and solo who want a planned Seattle outing without improvising between stops.
