Things I did while in Seattle Washington ✈️

Went to Seattle Washington for a Dolphins Game and here are my top 6 things I did and actually found fun or interesting:

🌦️the weather was great mostly cloudy no rain but definitely cloudy

✨ space needle- Its unique, flying saucer-shaped top sits atop slender legs, resembling a spaceship poised for takeoff. Visitors ascend via elevators to the observation deck, which offers 360-degree panoramic views of Seattle’s skyline, the surrounding mountains, and Puget Sound. Below, the rotating restaurant provides a fine dining experience with ever-changing scenery. The Space Needle remains a must-visit landmark, blending history, architecture, and breathtaking vistas.

✨ Pike place Market - Pike Place Market is a vibrant, historic hub in the heart of Seattle that offers an authentic taste of the city’s culture and charm. Established in 1907, it’s one of the oldest continuously operated public markets in the U.S. The market is famous for its fresh seafood, especially the lively fishmongers who toss salmon through the air as part of a beloved tradition. But it’s more than just seafood—Pike Place is home to local farmers, artisans, and vendors offering handmade crafts, flowers, baked goods, and gourmet treats.

The market also hosts the original Starbucks, making it a pilgrimage site for coffee lovers. Walking through the cobblestone streets, you’ll discover quirky shops, street performers, and breathtaking views of Elliott Bay. Pike Place Market embodies Seattle’s diverse, creative spirit and is a must-see for both visitors and locals.

✨ the Seattle great wheel - As one of the largest observation wheels on the West Coast, it offers a smooth, comfortable ride lasting about 15 minutes, giving ample time to take in the scenery from every angle. At night, the wheel lights up in vibrant displays, adding a magical glow to Seattle’s waterfront. It’s a family-friendly activity perfect for tourists and locals.

✨ Seattle center down town -Seattle Center, located just north of downtown, is a cultural and entertainment hub that captures the vibrant energy of the city. Home to some of Seattle’s most iconic landmarks, including the Space Needle, the Museum of Pop Culture (MoPOP), and the Chihuly Garden and Glass exhibit. It’s a gathering place where art, science, and fun come together, with a variety of attractions, public spaces, and performance venues.

✨Seattle aquarium - The Seattle Aquarium, located on the scenic waterfront at Pier 59, is a must-visit for marine life enthusiasts and families alike. One of its most popular exhibits is the 120,000-gallon Window on Washington Waters, which gives visitors a front-row seat to the vibrant marine life found just off Seattle’s coast. From playful sea otters and colorful jellyfish to the mesmerizing Giant Pacific Octopus, the aquarium is home to a wide variety of sea creatures. The underwater dome is another highlight, providing a 360-degree view of fish, sharks, and other creatures swimming above and around you.

✨ The gum wall - The Gum Wall, located in Seattle’s Post Alley near Pike Place Market, is one of the city’s most quirky and colorful attractions. What started as a random act of gum-sticking by theatergoers in the 1990s has turned into a bizarre yet fascinating landmark. The brick wall is now entirely covered in layers of chewed gum, in every color and shape imaginable, creating a mosaic that stretches 15 feet high and 50 feet wide. Visitors from around the world add their own piece of gum to the wall, contributing to this evolving work of art. Despite being cleaned off periodically, the wall quickly fills back up, thanks to the endless stream of tourists and locals. It’s a unique, if slightly gross, display of collective creativity that has become a must-see photo spot.

Tourist favorites like the Space Needle or Pike Place are fun once, but local neighborhoods and lesser-known spots gave me far more authentic Seattle memories.
