When it came time for bride-to-be Carolina to celebrate her bachelorette weekend, the North Carolina-native packed her bags and headed to Seattle. Known for its beautiful landscape, a love for coffee and landmarks like the Space Needle and Pike's Place Market, Seattle is packed with fun activities and places for a bachelorette party to explore. Since Carolina had never been to the west coast and one of her bridesmaids lived nearby, she decided this was the spot for her to celebrate her final fling!
