Port of Seattle
Seattle, Washington Click here for
Directions and Parking information.
Seattle is often
characterized by its laid-back attitude and rainy
climate, but this thriving metropolis also offers
one-of-a-kind architecture, the Olympic and Cascade
mountain ranges, and a unique urban sophistication.
The One Thing
You Don't Want to Miss
A trip to Seattle isn't
complete without visiting Pike Place Market. Here, you
can browse the stalls of local merchants and artists,
take in a street performance, or watch fishmongers play
catch with the catch of the day.
Other Fun Things to Do
Take in the view from the
Space Needle, a 650-foot structure left over from
the 1962 World's Fair.
Check out the Experience
Music Project, a rock-n-roll museum known not only
for its contents, but for its architectural design.
Stroll through the
historic district of Pioneer Square, filled with art
galleries, restaurants, and plenty of bookstores and
boutiques.
Gain some historical
insight at the Klondike Gold Rush National
Historical Park.
Walk along Alaskan Way,
which will bring you through downtown Seattle's
waterfront, past gift shops and restaurants.
Shopping
If
you're looking for an upscale shopping mall with
character, head downtown to Westlake Park. To uncover an
antique treasure, you'll want to go to the Pioneer
Square Antique Mall, where more than 60 dealers have
their collections on sale. Or, for more traditional
crafts and specialty stores, Pike Place Market is the
place to be.
Get a Taste of Local Flavor
Thanks to the fish-abundant waters, Seattle offers
fabulous seafood restaurants, ranging from fine dining
to casual eating. There's also a great selection of brew
pubs, and of course, coffee shops. With lattes and
cappuccinos on just about every street corner, Seattle's
easygoing attitude seems to be fueled by caffeine.
