Explore Seattle, WA – the Pacific Northwest's liveliest city – in a comfortable Honda Civic or a spacious Pilot to soak up the sights and sounds of Emerald City and discover the top tourist activities. Admire the spectacular views from the Space Needle, experience the vibrant atmosphere of the historic Pike Place Market, and cruise along Puget Sound past the city's most iconic landmarks.
1. Admire the Unmatched Views From the Space Needle
The Space Needle at 400 Broad Street in Seattle was built for the World's Fair in 1962 and is one of the city's most iconic landmarks, symbolizing the innovative spirit of Seattle-ites. It stands 605 feet tall, offering 360-degree, panoramic views of the city from tilting glass benches leaning out over the city.
Enjoy lunch at The Loupe Lounge, the world's only restaurant with a revolving glass floor perched 500 feet above the city, and see Elliot Bay, Mount Rainier, and the Cascade Mountains in the distance. If you're up for the challenge and want to support a great cause, consider conquering the Space Needle's 832 open-air stairs, Seattle's most iconic climb, to raise funds for the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center and the Space Needle Foundation.
2. Experience the Famous Pike Place Market
The Pike Place Market at 85 Pike Street is downtown Seattle's most famous attraction. Pike Place Market, fondly referred to as "the soul of Seattle," it opened in 1907 and is one of the oldest continuously operated markets in the United States. Hundreds of farmers, bakers, artisans, and artists gather on the vast market's nine acres to showcase their wares every day.
To experience all the market offers, consider booking a two-hour walking and tasting Chef-Guided Food Tour with Eat Seattle. Taste your way through the market, learn more about Seattle's history and culinary scene, and savor the flavors, sights, and sounds of this vibrant historic market while enjoying plenty of tasty treats along the way.
3. Go on an Amazing Puget Sound Harbor Cruise
Seeing the Emerald City from the water is a must when visiting Seattle. One of the best ways is to hop aboard a Seattle Harbor Cruise with Argosy Cruises, which departs from Pier 55 on the Seattle Waterfront at 1101 Alaskan Way for a narrated tour.
Sail past large fishing boats, houseboats, and seaplanes on Puget Sound and pass famous landmarks such as the Space Needle and the Great Wheel, one of the largest observation wheels in the country. On the way, you'll learn more about the city's history and be treated to spectacular views of the city skyline, the Olympic Mountains, and Mount Rainier.
A trip to Seattle wouldn't be complete without taking in the spectacular views from the Space Needle, exploring the lively Pike Market Place, and enjoying a leisurely cruise along Puget Sound, guaranteeing a well-rounded Seattle experience.
