    I've visited before but it has been almost 13 years. I didn't realize the formal revolving restaurant was gone. I missed it on this trip. There's a bar and pie place but not the same. More room for more people I guess. Note that two San Pellegrino's cost something like $18. Crazy. Used the City pass for quick entry but it was dead on a Weds morning in Feb. Great views. Fun elevator ride. Huge gift shop.

    This is our 3rd time here. The children enjoy it every time we come. We brought my loves' mom. There was a very enthusiastic, friendly young woman by the name of Fatima. She was amazing with the kids and took a family picture for us. It's always a greater experience when the employees go out of their way to say hi 👋. Love it ❤️

    Good venue for baseball. We were able to find parking fairly close. My husband has never been to a baseball game and was very confused that you just get up and move when you’re ready but to that end the beers are plenty.

    Striking architecture and impossibly cool library layout. Take the escalators 10 floors up… we took elevator down. Lots of comfy Adirondack and other seating on 3, and many, many places to plug in laptops or use a library PC. The study-tech carels on 10 are exceptionally impressive with several variations in flooring and fine City views.

    The central location of several to do’s like the Pacific Science Center (check the hours, I unfortunately missed it), the Chihuly Glass Gardens, the Space Needle, and MoPop. There was security out during the day, but I didn’t see any at sunset.

    This place was a cool place to visit for 30 minutes and snap a few photos. There is no charge, but you need to pay an Uber to get to it. Its worth an hour of your time.

    I must say that the waterfront area has definitely changed and improved in the 14 years since i last visited.
    Much work has been going on and the place has more walkable and cyclable wide paths, restaurants and seating areas. It does however need some coverage so I hope that trees are planted all around to give shade on those hot days and to help Mother Earth. The whole area felt safer than in past years and it's definitely a draw for more crowds down to the market and businesses on the waterfront.
    I look forward to seeing it fully completed, though it pretty much already looks like its ready.

    What a beautiful time of year to visit the arboretum! The weather was wonderful and the colors were amazing. Even though there is a fee to visit the Japanese Gardens, they are worth it!

    As much as I hate to admit it, the Amazon Spheres are actually pretty cool. You wouldn’t expect an office environment to be a tropical environment but that’s what you get here. I also got to see a pretty frog so that made me happy.

    It’s quite the stadium. We went for a concert and it was a really epic venue. And somehow managed to crowd control quite well too. Good acoustics for a stadium. Only downside is it’s a pain to get to. We were stuck in traffic for ages and this was BEFORE the concert started. Afterwards we walked a few blocks to try to catch an uber and ended up walking all the way back to our hotel.

    We took the Talking Tour of Smith Tower and it was amazing! So worth it! Our tour guide Richard was so knowlegable about the building and its past that it was like going back in time! Loved it and the views. Did not eat at the restaurant on the 35th floor but would have liked to have gotten a martini or something... Go! You will love it, especially if you are from Seattle!

    There were layer after layer of gum on the wall. I got a pack of chewing gum just to add to it hehe. My friends and I blew some bubbles and tried to find a relatively open spot to put ours on the wall as well. It was a bit gross with many other people's gum nearly touching you, but kinda fun anyways.

    Good bar / restaurant scene.
    We walked around during the day and were told that it is a party area at night and perhaps not too safe.
