1.
Seattle Space
Needle
A 41 second elevator ride takes you up 520 feet to the observation deck of the
Space Needle, built for the 1962 World's Fair. Enjoy a meal at SkyCity, the
restaurant at the top that revolves 3600 while you dine.
2.
Pike Place
Market
Born in 1907, Seattle's Pike Place Market is the granddaddy of farmers' markets.
Today, it's a major tourist attraction with 200 businesses operating year-round,
190 craftspeople and 120 farmer booths—plus street performers and musicians.
Flowers by the bucketful, Fying fish, fresh pastries and fruit, handmade
cheeses, local honey, wine, an assortment of restaurants, import goods,
antiques, collectibles and lots of surprises are around every corner.
3. Seattle Ferries
Traveling by ferry is a state of mind as much as a means of transportation to
some of the Puget Sound's most historic and scenic sites. Views of the Olympic
and Cascade mountains, the Seattle cityscape and the green shorelines will draw
you out onto the deck to feel the salt breeze on your face. The state ferry
system takes passengers and their vehicles from Seattle and nearby departure
points to Vashon Island, the Kitsap Peninsula, the San Juan Islands and Canada.
4.
Seattle Aquarium
Meet Alki, the sea otter pup born at the Aquarium. Walk under the water in a
glass dome as bluntnose six gill sharks and other Elliott Bay creatures swim all
around you. Touch a sea anemone. Learn about the lives of salmon at the world's
first aquarium-based salmon ladder. Marvel at the impossibly bright-colored
coral reef fish. And don't forget to wave to the giant Pacific octopus.
5. Waterfront Seattle
A bustling collection of attractions, restaurants and shopping, as well as
starting points for ferries, cruise ships, the Victoria Clipper and Argosy boat
tours are located here. Feed the seagulls at the statue of Ivar Haglund in front
of Ivar's Acres of Clams, stroll by the fountains on the wooden piers of
Waterfront Park, admire the view or shop for souvenirs.
6.
The Woodland Park Zoo
See more than 1,000 animals of 300 different species, from elephants and
gorillas to piranhas and penguins, in naturalistic exhibits at the Woodland Park
Zoo. Drop by at scheduled feeding times and talk with the people who care for
the animals.
7. Bill Speidel's Underground Tour
After the Great Seattle Fire of 1889, the city was rebuilt over the top of the
ruins. This guided tour takes visitors through the hidden subterranean passages
that once were the main roadways and storefronts of old downtown Seattle and
tells stories of the frontier people who lived and worked there.
8. The Seattle Public Library
Designed by world-renowned Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas, the award-winning glass
and steel structure of the new Central Library makes the building seem a little
off-kilter and translucent—allowing passersby on the street to look in.
9. Tillicum Village
A short, narrated cruise takes you to an island village, where you'll feast on
salmon cooked in the authentic Native American way. A stage show of traditional
dances and stories entertains and teaches you about the people who lived in the
Northwest first.
10. Spirit of Washington Dinner Train
Passenger train travel is reborn on this excursion from Renton to Woodinville in
vintage rail cars. The train travels along the shores of Lake Washington and
over a historic trestle as you dine in style.
