Things To Do & Our Favorite Restaurants
Space Needle
See the city from new heights at the Space Needle. Located in the Seattle Center, it is near popular sites such as the MoPop, Chihuly Glass Museum and the Pacific Science Center. Tickets can also be purchased through City Pass.

The Ballard Locks is one our favorite spots in the city. In September you can watch salmon climb the fish ladder and spot seals and sea lions trying to catch fish. We volunteer here with the Seattle Aquarium to educate the public on the salmon.
