My wife & I made two visits to Seattle Center during our four days in Seattle: the first just to walk around & see all the activities/attractions it has to offer, and the follow-up to visit Chihuly Garden & Glass (our favorite stop around town) and to see the views from the Space Needle observation deck. There are lots of spaces within the Center grounds to simply relax & people watch, places to play & explore, and the Armory complex has a variety of dining & snack options (in addition to the food & drink vendors often dotting the Seattle Center grounds). There are also some interesting pieces of public art scattered across the grounds, some permanent & others changing. Seattle Center is a unique collection of cultural & entertainment & educational venues well worth the time to take in during your stay in the Seattle area.
