Get lost in Pike Place Market! Make sure to walk downstairs to see the gum wall, see the first ever Starbucks, and go beyond the upper level for great thrift stores. Bride and Groom favorites: Beecher's Handmade Cheese (try the flagship), Emmett Watsons Oyster Bar for $2 oysters all day, and the Pike Place Fish Market to try your hand at catching a fish!
Take the water taxi to West Seattle for the best views of both downtown and the Olympic Mountains and the best sand beach in the city! No, we aren't biased just because this is our neighborhood (okay, maybe a little). Alki Spud, Harry's Beach House, and Future Primitive Brewing are all hits.
Just a short walk from Pioneer Square. Visit the aquarium, ride the wheel, hop on the ferry to Bainbridge Island, find the water taxi dock to West Seattle, and get your kitschy souvenirs. Jack recommends Ivar's fish and chips and Mary-Hampton loves the raw bar at Elliott's!
Did you know that Seattle is built on top of itself? A one-hour tour takes you underground see four city blocks of the original Pioneer Square (the neighborhood where we are getting married) built in the 1800s. Wear close toed shoes! Pro tip: visit Damn the Weather before or after for drinks and eats.
