‘Don’t sleep on Seattle’: Gee, Angela crown Seattle as a top honeymoon destination
Oct 4, 2025, 5:00 AM
While KIRO Newsradio covered the recent Starbucks Reserve Roastery closures in Seattle, a couple who had added the Starbucks stop to their honeymoon plans were displeased with the sudden shutdown.
The shortcomings of the honeymoon couple’s plans led “The Gee and Ursula Show” on KIRO Newsradio to question: Is Seattle a good honeymoon destination?
“It is an amazing honeymoon destination. Don’t sleep on Seattle,” KIRO fill-in host Angela Poe Russell said. “Sometimes we get too familiar; we’ve been living here a long time, and we lose the magic. You can hike or ski; there’s also Pike Place Market. This place is pretty dope, and we just need to kind of remind ourselves of that sometimes.”
KIRO host Gee Scott praised Seattle’s weather as a strong appeal for out-of-state visitors to take advantage of, specifically noting that the region provides the best of both worlds with its comfortable summer weather and bearable winter seasons.
“For people who love the outdoors, are you kidding me? Seattle is the best,” Gee said. “You want to talk about the weather? We have the best weather in the world; it’s not too hot like some places in the south and on the East Coast in the summer. And it’s not extremely cold like North Dakota or Minnesota.”
