san francisco vs seattle: which city wins for solo trips?

Last night, I spent an hour scrolling through travel blogs, trying to decide between San Francisco and Seattle for my solo getaway. I want to spend four days just exploring, eating good food, and soaking up the atmosphere. But honestly, I’m torn. San Francisco has those iconic hills and the Golden Gate Bridge, but I keep hearing about the wild prices and the crowds. Seattle, on the other hand, looks so green and laid-back, but I’m worried it might just rain the whole time and I’ll end up stuck in my hotel room with a soggy umbrella. I’m not looking for wild nightlife—just some good coffee, maybe a quirky bookstore, and places where I won’t feel out of place wandering alone. I’ve had trips before where I felt totally invisible in a big city, and that’s not what I want this time. If you’ve been to either city, did you feel welcome as a solo traveler? Did you find it easy to get around, or did you end up lost and frustrated? And honestly, which city has better food for someone who’s not looking to break the bank? I’d love to hear if anyone else has faced this dilemma and how you made your choice. Sometimes it feels like picking between fog and drizzle! #solotravel #sanfrancisco #seattle #Travel
