It's $16 bucks to take an elevator 52 floors up to an observation deck with one bathroom. The observation deck provides a wonderful panoramic view of Seattle, if you're lucky enough to go on one of the days when the weather is actually clear enough to provide these views. A guide told us that Mt. …

Pikes place market is an open market in Seattle modeled on the Eastern style of marketplaces, you know disorganized, dense, a little bit chaotic, but still functional.
It also has a number of very famous places and several places I would consider hidden gems.
The layout of the market is a gr…

The friends I stayed with on my Seattle trip live in a neat little 'werking-class' neighborhood just north of Queen Anne's Hill, in one of the many outlying neighborhoods of "Seattle", Fremont. This area known as Fremont has many interesting sites, statues, and shops. I'm not one for shopping but …

Fatigued after three days of non-stop, high-intensity touristing, not to mention a few meetings concerning my business future, I didn’t realize how much I needed to relieve both my tiredness and my stress until I came out of the office and literally bumped into a sign advertising massages. As I lo…

On a short trip home from University my parents took me to the Fremont Fair 2 years ago. It was so much fun. You must be open minded and easy going to enjoy this wild parade of nudist cyclist decked out in body paints and glitter! The point of the fair is to encourage freedom and love of all people.…

Having planned to hop on a float plane tour today, I was disappointed to find Seattle had woken up rainy. Finally! My first two days of the trip had been as sunny as any day in El Lay, but why did my wish have to come true on the day I wanted to take pictures from the sky and catch an outdoor sporti…

Seattle International Film Festival (SIFF) is the largest film festival in America. Although, I'm constantly amazed at the fact that most people living in Seattle are ignorant to its existance. That aside, you can always expect massive crowds lining up outside the theaters for a unique opportunity t…

First money saving tip: buy a City Pass if you plan to go to the aquarium, harbor tour and Pacific Science Center, you will save money! With that being said I think without the City Pass you would spend $15 to get in which includes an IMAX film. There is SO much to do here so make sure you have pl…

After a fire burnt down then Seattle, it was decided to build the city a few feet higher because of fear of flooding. The tour takes you underground through tunnels (which were streets at the time) and the remains of old buildings. The tour is very interesting because it weird to think that 100+ yea…

If the thought of paying $16 to go to the top of the Space Needle just to see a view of Seattle seems excessive, I'd suggest checking out Smith Tower instead. It's closer to the downtown area of Seattle as well.
When Smith Tower was originally built in 1914, it was hailed as the largest skyscrape…

Gasworks Park is probably my favorite park in Seattle. From the moment you see it, you begin to understand just how unique it is. The park is best defined for its gasification plant.
You are probably wondering what the heck a "gasification plant" is. In short, a gasification plant is a facility …

It’s very hard to find a zoo where all the animals are treated the same, as in all of them having equally great places to live. At this zoo, with its overly pretentious official name, you can tell it’s the elephants they care about the …

Is there any better way to cool down on a warm day than to let the wind blow through your hair and blast your face? As long as the ship is big enough so you don’t get seasick, there’s not better way to relax for an hour or so than on a ferry ride around Puget Sound.
Somehow this was better th…

Located in northwest Seattle, this popular park offers extraordinary views of Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains.
They have picnic tables and shelters for rent. There is also a playground for kids, including a slide that shoots through a salmon sculpture. There is also an Environmental Learnin…
