location.payment.subtitle
Cards everywhere. Pike Place Market some vendors cash-only. Contactless dominant. Parking meters card-only.
Wells Fargo or Chase ATMs best. Avoid Pike Place Market area exchange kiosks - terrible rates. SEA-TAC Airport Travelex very expensive - 12% markup. Capitol Hill and University District have no physical exchanges - use ATMs only. For Canadian Dollars, crossing border to Vancouver gives better rates than Seattle exchanges.
Tipping mandatory. 18-20% in restaurants, $2-5 for rideshare, $1 per coffee. Seattle expects high tips.
