Seattle
Pike Place
Market vies
with the Space Needle as the most well-known landmark
of Seattle, but it is the market which is the soul of
Seattle, the oldest continually operating farmers market
in the country. But the market is no staid historic
site preserved for tourists. It is a free-form funhouse
of sights and smells and sounds and characters, a place
where farmers and craftspeople display their wares and
where residents and visitors alike jostle their way
along crowded aisles and brick streets. www.pikeplacemarket.org
The
collections of the Seattle
Art Museum number approximately 23,000 objects
representing a wide range of art-from ancient Egyptian
reliefs to contemporary American installations using
photography and video. The collections are particularly
strong in five areas: Asian, African, Northwest Coast
Native American, modern art and European painting, and
decorative arts. Their range and depth are unmatched
in the region. www.seattleartmuseum.org
The
Space Needle, a Seattle tradition for over
39 years, offers you an unlimited supply of memories
and adventures at every level. Enjoy the extraordinary
futuristic design and colorful history. Just 43 seconds
in a glass elevator from ground level to 520 feet above
Seattle. You'll also get a 360-degree view of the most
incredible panoramic scenery the Pacific Northwest has
to offer. www.spaceneedle.com
