A classic Seattle spot, located right above the Aquarium and Waterfront. http://pikeplacemarket.org/directions-parking
Seattle’s original downtown is full of beautiful old buildings in Romanesque Revival style, underground tours that take you beneath the streets to see the remains of the city’s first buildings, and an ever-growing slate of hip shops and restaurants. Take an afternoon or more to explore Pioneer Square‘s ivy-covered buildings and pop into bars, boutiques, and hidden gems, like Waterfall Garden Park. We highly recommend the Underground Tour.
Want to know the history of Seattle's brothels? How about the underhanded sneaky deals outfitting the Yukon gold rush? What are the purple glass squares in Seattle's sidewalks all about? And what's the deal with tide-tables and toilets? Tour the original Seattle that burned down in 1889 in a fascinating, joke-filled journey through the tunnels below modern Seattle, and learn how Seattle built itself out of stubborn, tenacious grit. A must-see if you have time. Michelle has been on the tour over 6 times.
The ornate Chinatown Gate welcomes you to this diverse neighborhood, where the food scene is incredible. After eating your fill of everything from pho to sushi, visit Wing Luke Museum, dedicated to the Asian Pacific American experience; practice your pinball game at the Seattle Pinball Museum; and shop for Japanese snacks and cute gifts at the Uwajimaya supermarket.
It's the Space Needle. What more do you need to know?
Whether you are a Seattle native or visiting for the first time, Miner's Landing is the perfect place to come with your family and friends! Experience the Seattle Great Wheel, Wings Over Washington, Salish Sea Tours, the Carousel, and much more! Want tacky Seattle souvenirs? Get them here.
After checking out the Troll, wander around Fremont, the funky, bohemian, self-described "Center of the Universe."
Um, this place ROCKS. Sign up for a tour, enjoy local chocolate, save room in your luggage to take it home.
