Nestled between Seattle’s stunning skyline and Puget Sound is Pike Place Market. Established in 1907, they have been a beloved public market featuring small independent businesses, local farmers, artists, craftspeople, and buskers for over one hundred years and counting! Our favorite spots in the market are: Pike Place Chowder for Lindsey’s favorite chowder, Beecher’s Handmade Cheese for Jose’s favorite Mac and Cheese, Rachel’s Ginger Beer for fresh cocktails, and Old Stove Brewing for good eats, drinks, and incredible views! Pike Place Market stretches across a nine-acre historic district. From 1st Avenue to Western Avenue, east to west, and Virginia Street to just past Pike Street, north to south. Every day is different in the Market but most of Pike Place Market is active from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. with some of the restaurants staying open until midnight or later.
Old Stove Brewing, located at the Pike Place Market front, is a popular spot for people seeking great views, craft beer, and delicious food. It's known for its stunning views of Elliott Bay and the Olympic Mountains, especially from its outdoor patio.
The Seattle Great Wheel is a 175-foot (53-meter) tall Ferris wheel located on Pier 57 at Miner's Landing in Seattle, Washington. It's known as the largest observation wheel on the West Coast and offers panoramic views of the city, Puget Sound, and the Olympic Mountains. The wheel has 42 fully enclosed, climate-controlled gondolas, each holding up to eight passengers. Lindsey and Jose have gone in it countless times!
One of the most photographed and recognized structures in the world, the Space Needle was built as a cultural centerpiece for the 1962 World’s Fair, whose theme was “The Age of Space.” At 605 feet tall, the landmark was constructed to symbolize humanity’s Space Age aspirations, and since its grand opening on April 21, 1962, continues to represent the innovative and forward-thinking spirit of Seattle. The tower’s 520’ saucer-shaped “top house” offers visitors Seattle’s only 360-degree indoor and outdoor panoramic views of downtown, Mount Rainier, Puget Sound, and the Cascades and Olympic mountain ranges.
