Seattle and related destinations

Beneath rain-washed skies, Pike Place Market buzzes with fishmongers tossing salmon through the air and vendors arranging flowers in kaleidoscopic displays. The Space Needle offers obligatory views, but locals prefer watching ferries crisscross Elliott Bay from Kerry Park's hillside perch. Duck into the original Starbucks (prepare for lines) before exploring the Seattle Aquarium's underwater world. The Gum Wall presents a strangely compelling (if slightly disgusting) public art installation near Pike Place. Catch performances at historic Moore Theatre or The Showbox, where music legends have graced the stage for decades. Seattle Center houses museums beneath the Space Needle's watchful gaze, while cruise ships depart from Bell Street and Terminal 91 toward Alaskan adventures.
