Things to do

Conveniently reached from downtown on foot or with a quick one-mile ride on the retro-cool Seattle Center Monorail, dynamic Seattle Center contains a dazzling array of world-class arts and cultural attractions. Created for the 1962 World’s Fair, the 74-acre campus is equal parts civic plaza and social hub

From the iconic red market sign and Rachel the Piggy Bank to the gum wall, the original Starbucks cafe, dozens of diverse eateries, more than 225 local artisans selling their wares, the famous fish-tossing tradition, and talented street musicians, there are enough sights and sounds at Pike Place Market

The city’s bustling waterfront, which is easily accessed from downtown, has undergone a phenomenal transformation and renaissance in recent years, featuring landscaped pedestrian and bike promenades, parks and playgrounds.

Just a 30-minute drive from downtown Seattle, you can explore more than 130 wineries and tasting rooms in Woodinville, which has evolved into western Washington’s hub of winemaking.
