Visit Seattle, Washington!

Famous Seattle Landmark The Space Needle

An Experience The Whole Family Will Enjoy

Often called Seattle's Eiffel Tower, the Space Needle is the destination to visit.  Originally built for the 1962 World Fair under the theme "The Age of Space," the Space Needle stands 520 feet high. Enjoy 360-degree breathtaking views of Seattle on multiple levels.  Stay inside and enjoy floor-to-ceiling views and open-air glass walls and glass benches. The brave can move to the outdoor observation deck or to The Loupe, the world's first rotating glass floor.  Look down, and you'll view Seattle as if you're flying overhead in a plane, only better.  The Loupe Lounge offers cocktails and culinary masterpieces as you enjoy revolving glass-floor views.

Glass Museum Chihuly Garden & Glass Museum

Blown Glass Will Blow Your Mind

Visit Seattle's Chihuly Garden and Glass museum to see unforgettable, colorful glass sculptures that will leave you in awe.  The work Dale Chihuly, the world-renowned glass artist, is showcased at the museum. He created many glassblowing techniques to make the colorful, twisted, oversized, gravity-defying glass designs you'll see in the galleries. Imagine seeing a glass jellyfish the size of a truck tire or a twisted 20-foot glass sculpture that looks like a conglomeration of jellyfish, reeds, and clams.  You can even watch live glassblowing demonstrations!

Fun For The Whole FamilyPike Place Market

The Soul of Seattle

Opened in 1907, the Pike Place Market started as a public farmers market with 6-12 farmers selling produce.  Today the farmers market features artisans selling their crafts, a fish market, flower vendors, gift shops, and more. Enjoy the energy of the market as fish are thrown over crowds of people, take a photo with Rachel the Piggy Bank, stroll through the Secret Garden, check out the Gum Wall, and take a whirl on the Seattle Great Wheel.  Plan on spending at least a couple of hours checking out the Seattle market and then stopping for an ice cream cone, a cup of coffee (Seattle is famous for its coffee), a snack, a pint at a local brewery, or a meal at a nearby restaurant.  Seattle has some of the best seafood around!  You're going to LOVE Pike Place Market!
