Seattle Official Visitors Guide 2008-2009 - (Page 8) W E LCO M E TO S E AT T L E nn aZ oro msk i/Weaver SEATTLE’S ESSENTIAL HITS A © Like a playlist of favorite songs, this list of Seattle must-sees will lead you straight to the gems you were hoping to find. So when you hit the ground in Seattle, finding the essentials will be as easy as hitting the play button. Pike Place Market Wander past stalls of brilliant flowers, watch fishmongers toss the catch of the day and stop by the original Starbucks. Inhale the aromas of macaroni and cheese bubbling on the stove at Beecher’s Handmade Cheese, the smell of buttery croissants in the ovens at Le Panier and the divine aroma of cinnamon drifting from Piroshky Piroshky. The market is literally a feast for your senses, and you’ll need at least a few hours to explore what’s been called the “soul of Seattle.” Clockwise from above: Olympic Sculpture Park; Space Needle and Experience Music Project; Pike Place Market; the fish-viewing window at Ballard Locks; Washington State Ferry.

Prescott Seattle Center You may have seen plenty of photos of the Space Needle, but if you haven’t seen the view from the top, then you haven’t seen anything yet! To make it a truly memorable visit, have dinner in the sky-high rotating restaurant. The Space Needle is located within the Seattle Center, a large collection of cultural attractions, so make time to check out the Experience Music Project | Science Fiction Museum, Pacific Science Center, the Children’s Museum, the Seattle Opera, the International Fountain and more.
