If you’re looking for uber trendy Portland<\/a>, but got your Pacific Northwest wires crossed and somehow found\u00a0yourself in subtly cool Seattle<\/a>, it\u2019s okay because we\u00a0assembled a\u00a0list of the most alt spots for you to find yourself and be creative in the Emerald City. Behold, the official Orbitz list\u00a0of 13 unashamedly hipster things to do in Seattle.<\/p>\n

RELATED: Check out 7 reasons why Seattle rules right now.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Stay in a hipster boutique hotel
\n<\/strong>Unless a drummer said you could hang at his place, you\u2019ll be looking for a place to crash. The original Ace Hotel<\/a>\u00a0is smack in the heart of Seattle’s arty Belltown, so it won\u2019t be much of a task to get there by fixie or even bare foot. This alternative sleep shack is packed with unusual, vintage and locally made furniture.<\/p>\n

2. Become an art creative
\n<\/strong>Consider yourself an artiste<\/em>? Prove it at Pratt. The Pratt Fine Arts Center<\/a> is a haven for professionals and amateurs alike. Offering workshops in woodwork, glass, jewelry and metal, this place allows you to create the ultimate hipster talisman: something no one else has.<\/p>\n

3. Experience Music Project
\n<\/strong>EMP museum is a must-see Seattle staple. Building on the city\u2019s rich musical and cultural history, this non-profit millennial mecca hosts exhibitions<\/a> on curious culturalniches such as the costumes of Star Wars<\/em> and the artistry behind Daffy Duck.<\/p>\n

4. Go veggie in style
\n<\/strong>Gone veggie but all you can muster is mac ‘n’ cheese? Book yourself a class on veggie cooking at Paris Eastside<\/a> and fix up something fancy like vegetables clafoutis or zucchinis and goat cheese minted salad.<\/p>\n

5. Hang in a really cool bar that practically noone knows about
\n<\/strong>Needle and Thread is as hard to find as a needle in an organic haystack. This hidden speakeasy is stashed above Tavern Law<\/a>; ring the old-timey phone box downstairs to wrangle your way in.<\/p>\n

6. Get your fixed gear rental
\n<\/strong>Fixies and Mixtes, they have both for rent and more at Dutch Bike Co<\/a>. At $30 for three hours you pay for style, but would you be caught\u00a0dead on anything else in the happening areas of Capitol Hill or Union Park?<\/p>\n

7. Find food with values
\n<\/strong>If environment-conscious grub is important to you, chow down in Local 360<\/a>, a sustainable restaurant in the heart of Belltown. It also boasts the best deviled eggs in the Pacific Northwest.<\/p>\n

8. Smell like strong spirits
\n<\/strong>If you\u2019re on the Nirvana trail, swing by Linda\u2019s Tavern<\/a>. It\u2019s reportedly the last bar where frontman Kurt Cobain was seen alive.<\/p>\n

9. Swap Starbucks for hipster coffee beans
\n<\/strong>Seattle takes its coffee seriously (but of course) so shy away from generic S’bucks and visit Citizen Cafe and Bar<\/a> for a more boutique\u00a0caf\u00e9 culture.<\/p>\n

10. Sport some sweet flares, bro
\n<\/strong>Wavy garms and vintage threads are in abundance at Beats and Bohos<\/a>. Grab yourself a ’70s\u00a0outfit and stand out from the squares.<\/p>\n

11. Kick your can-can
\n<\/strong>For an edgy evening, hop downtown to the Can Can<\/a> for an alternative array of burlesque dancing or cabaret.<\/p>\n

12. Find your face hair fundamentals
\n<\/strong>Beard stuff and man-cuts are essentials for the millennially hairy; visit Squire Barber Shop<\/a> for a trim from an equally cool cutter.<\/p>\n

13. Update your record collection
\n<\/strong>Spin Cycle<\/a> is a record store haven for the alternatively minded. Find yourself a rare vinyl so you can write about it on your Tumblr.<\/p>\n
