Things To Do
Pike Place Market
Can you say you've been to Seattle without visiting Seattle's famous Pike Place Market? Pike Place is Seattle's original farmers market and the center of locally sourced, artisan and specialty foods. Plenty of handmade local goods, art, and souvenir shops to marvel at as well. Don't miss the famous fish-throwing at the Pike Place Fish Market!
Starbucks
If you're a Starbucks lover, you might just have to check out the original Starbuck's at Pike Place. Beware - there's never *not* been a line out the door here!
Seattle Aquarium
Sometimes fish are friends, not food, and if you need a place to cool down during the day, the Seattle Aquarium is a great place to visit. Be sure to check out the underwater dome and say hi to the giant Pacific octopus!
The Seattle Great Wheel
If you're in Seattle for more than one night, check out the colorful light show displays of the Seattle Great Ferris Wheel! The light shows usually run every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday night to 10pm. Or, during the day, you can get a great view of the ocean and mountains in the air-conditioned gondolas!
Space Needle
Do you really want to *see* Seattle? Go visit the famous landmark on nearly every postcard of Seattle! Sip on a cocktail, nibble on a charcuterie board, and enjoy a thrilling view of the city through 360-degree floor-to-ceiling windows and glass floor panels.
Museum of Pop Culture
Museum lovers delight in Seattle - there are so many to explore especially near the base of the Space Needle. The Museum of Pop Culture is especially unique as it's home to one of the biggest collections of contemporary pop culture objects, including artifacts from The Wizard of Oz, Lord of the Rings, Disney, Nirvana, and a guitar gallery.
Fremont Troll
Are we trolling you? Certainly not - the Freemont Troll lives underneath the George Washington Memorial Bridge, standing 18 feet tall and weighing a whopping 13,000 pounds. The Freemont district is also known for its "hipster" vibe with quirky shops and alternative restaurants and cafes.
