CULTURE, COFFEE, AND COOL VIEWS COLLIDE
It’s vacation time. And you want the ultimate Seattle experience. All the local must-sees, must-dos, and must-eats are in the mix. Luckily, you’ll find treasures at every turn in the Emerald City.
  • Pike Place Market

    Seattle’s original farmers market is the heart of the city’s food scene – which makes it a must-stop spot for authentic eats. Visit this nine-acre historic district, and you’ll find everything from quick-serve cafes and bakeries to intimate bistros and fine-dining restaurants. You’ll also discover one of the country’s largest and most vibrant crafts market.

  • Wine Tours and Waterfalls

    Washington’s wine country is waiting for you just 25 miles outside of Seattle. Skip town for the day and visit Snoqualmie Falls, a two-acre park with a spectacular 270-foot waterfall. Then make your way to Woodinville to find family-owned vineyards and tour the acclaimed Chateau Ste. Michelle Winery.

  • Pioneer Square

    Turn-of-the century lampposts and Romanesque-Revival buildings line the streets of Pioneer Square. Seattle’s “first neighborhood” is rich in history and home to more than a handful of landmark sights. Swing by Occidental Park, tour famed art galleries, and go snap selfies with the 60-foot Tlingit totem pole.

MUSEUM MADNESS
Museum of Pop Culture

Are you ready for a serious pop-culture explosion? Because that’s exactly what you’ll find at MoPOP. So break out your best throwback tee and go have some fun.

Seattle Art Museum

The Seattle Art Museum is the city’s largest museum dating back to the 1930s and housing a varied collection of artwork that spans multiple eras and geographic regions.

Top Sights And Delights
Seattle Center & the Space Needle

Every city has its iconic landmark. And Seattle is no exception. Make your way to the top of the Space Needle and snapchat your way through jaw-dropping views of the Olympic and Cascade Mountains, Elliott Bay, Mount Rainier, and the Seattle skyline.

Hidden Gems
GumWall at Market Theater

Stick close to Pike Street and you’ll catch sight of the city’s most colorful gummy backdrop. Seattle’s Gum Wall is exactly what it sounds like: a brick wall covered in used chewing gum. It’s a quirky local landmark. And it’s a top-pick for a silly selfie spot.

Bill Speidel's Seattle Underground

Go underground (really) and explore Seattle’s famous interconnected passageways. Take a humorous, family-friendly stroll through the city’s subterranean storefronts and entombed sidewalks. It’s like getting an exclusive, time-capsule style view of the area.

The Pink Door

You won’t find it unless you specifically go looking for it — no signs, just a pink door with scrumptious fare, trapeze performances, and burlesque shows. It’s one of the city’s most mysterious and beloved restaurant destinations. 

Seattle Pinball Museum

Imagine 50 vintage pinball machines all set to free play. Talk about winning the day. The games are even arranged in chronological order, so you can backbox through decades of pinball history. Get set for a flippin’ good time at the Seattle Pinball Museum.

The secluded site is located on Magnolia Bluff overlooking Puget Sound, and it’s home to protected tidal beaches, open meadows, dramatic sea cliffs, and lush forest groves.
