The 90-minute tour includes such attractions as the Pike Place Market and Pioneer Square .Then this strange vehicle plunges into Lake Union. The tour cruises past many houseboats and other lake sights
Everyone should go to the top of the Space Needle at least once in their life! Take a jacket and enjoy the views. Turn off your flash though!
The heart of Seattle's arts and culture - home to the Space Needle, Pacific Science Center, Experience Music Project, The Children's Museum, & more! Monorail runs directly between downtown & here.
The museum takes you through music history by immersing you in nearly 80,000 artifacts including photos, sound archives, costumes and musical instruments from notable artists.
Chihuly Garden and Glass features an exhibition hall with eight galleries, a glasshouse featuring one of the artist's largest suspended works and a garden that sprouts red and blue glass reeds. Read more.
Pike Place Market is home to the first Starbucks, Rachel the Pig, numerous street performers and entertainers, and the Pike Place Fish Market, which features the fish-throwing fishmongers.
An impressive sculpture garden featuring art from the SAM’s collection. Stroll through in late afternoon, then stay to enjoy the sunset. Open 365 days a year and always free. Read more.
Stand on the bench closest to the city to get over the trees. This is the postcard shot of Seattle with the Needle in front of the city. For more of a fun shot frame the Space Needle in the sculpture.
This park is home to one of Seattle's best views, a historic water tower, a conservatory built in 1912, and Seattle Asian Art Museum.
Located on the north shore of Lake Union, the park has excellent water views and a spectacular, unobstructed view of the city skyline. It is a popular spot for concerts.
Worth a visit and free. Next to the channel is a fish ladder for salmon; you can also watch through a viewing window. (Officially, these are the Hiram M. Chittenden Locks, but nobody calls them that.) Read more.
This two-and-a-half-mile strip of sandy beach is one of the most popular beaches in the area, and it was also where Seattle's first non-Native American settlers spent their first winter.
Although the park has a beach it's not a prime spot for swimming as the water's cold & the beach rocky. One trail extends to Puget Sound & after a lengthy walk you'll find a lighthouse and tide pools.
Great place to take out of town guests. The combination of locally sourced ingredients and simple yet surprising meals made from scratch will always please!
Large portions. Comfort food. Flannel shirts. It's like a hipster Cheesecake Factory. Yum.
This cafe is committed to sustainable practices - the interior furnishings are 90% salvaged/recycled/repurposed materials! Stop in to try some of the local, seasonal fair. Open "8a until late"
My favorite coffee place in Seattle; this is NOT the Starbucks you know. Unique, high quality drinks and food, with a rotating seasonal menu and coffee selection. Store design is unparalleled.
