    Review of: Chihuly Garden and Glass
    Simply Stunning
    This was our first stop on a recent visit to Seattle. We have done the Space Needle and other activities, but hadn't done Chihuly and it certainly didn't disappoint. The glass pieces are true works of art. We enjoyed learning about the artist and appreciating his work and creativity.
    Located at the Space Needle, there are several things to do in the area, but don't miss this one, it was spectacular.

    Review of: The Museum of Flight
    Best aircraft Museun
    Museum of flight in Sea. is WAY better than The Simthsonian in Washington DC ! I thought the one in DC was cool. Plan on spending most of the day at The Museum of Flight.

    Review of: Pike Place Market
    Busy market with something for everyone.
    Bustling market with plenty of variety form the classic seafood stalls to tourist stuff and Golden Age comics with everything in between. Seems to have withstood the post-Covid and general economic decline better than most places. Very busy but well worth a visit.

    Review of: Washington State Ferries
    Fun entry to the city
    We started in Bainbridge Island and rode the ferry over to downtown Seattle. For $21 this was the fun entry to the city. They are super fast loading all those cars.

    Review of: Kerry Park
    Amazing views
    Not really a park, just a strip of land. But the views of downtown are amazing! Make sure you go at night and you will thank me.

    Review of: Sky View Observatory
    breathtaking views
    When the weather is clear it must be a real WOW, we were there and it was smoky from the fires, so hazy. It was still a breath taking experience!

    Solo Traveler to Seattle
    This was a stop on a city bus tour. Very interesting to see the process. We could go down below the water surface to view the salmon making their way through as well.

    Review of: T-Mobile Park
    Wonderful Stadium
    Outstanding ball park. We really enjoyed watching the Mariners play here. Plenty of food options for everyone. Seats were down the first base line with great unobstructed views.

    Review of: Space Needle
    Excellent Views - a tourist “must do”
    Last time I was here there (2019) were works ongoing which partly masked the outside of the Space Needle, so it was great to see it properly. We had prebooked tickets for 10am when it opens - it’s very popular so prebooking is best but you can get tickets on the day (maybe have to wait for a while though). The views are outstanding and I especially liked the “free” (ie included in the price) photos both at the entrance and spread around the top. The glass floor was excellent too - I am not great with heights but was comfortable walking on this glass.

    Review of: Smith Tower Visitor Experience
    Well worth a visit.
    This was great and I was glad it was recommended. I loved playing the game of finding clues. The Art Deco interior was well maintained. The view from the top was very impressive.

    Review of: Discovery Park
    Forest in the city
    Discovery Park feels like a forest in the city. Deep, dense forest with lots of undergrowth. Very hilly hiking trails. Great for hikers and bikers. There is a beach at the north end. Cars must have stickers to park there. Views are fabulous of Puget Sound.

    Review of: Pike Place Fish Market
    Fish toss is great
    The famous fish toss and fun to watch. I would recommend going early in the day before the crowds roll in. We loved watching both the staff and people who ordered fish get to throw their fish (salmon and octopus).

    Review of: Gas Works Park
    You MUST see the sunset from Gas Works Park!
    Last night (9/25/22) I had one of the best nights of my life at Gas Works Park to watch the sunset. It was absolutely incredible to see the sun set and the city lights turn on. The atmosphere was a party, a celebration of the beauty of the city and of life itself. A band played close to the old Gas Works. On Lake Union, a boat with another band also played while a line of smaller boats followed to hear the music. Paddle boarders, hot-tub-boaters and canoe-ers enjoyed the lake. On the hill at one side of the park, groups of people gathered and talked with friends and loved ones as we watched the city lights turn on across the lake. It was surreal and spectacular. The highlight of my trip to the PNW. Makes me want to move to Seattle. BREATHTAKING!
