| Woodland Park Zoo |
| Visit Seattle’s Woodland Park Zoo, but don’t expect to see lots of bars and cramped cages. Instead, you’ll find wide open areas that have been carefully designed to recreate each animal’s natural habitat. You’ll see sea lions, giraffes and zebras stretch their legs on a grassy African savanna, a rare snow leopard silently pads across a rugged slope, and gorillas romp through a tropical rain forest, just to name a few of the animals you’ll see. Parade Magazine, USA Today, and the Washington Post all rank Woodland Park Zoo as one of the best zoos in the country. And the Humane Society has given it a #1 rating. But the best thing about the Woodland Park Zoo may be its location, only 10 minutes from downtown Seattle. So give in to your animal instincts. Visit the Woodland Park Zoo, open daily from 8:30 a.m. For more information, call 684-4800. |

| Pike Place Market |
| One of Seattle’s most popular attractions is the bright and busy farmer’s market only two blocks from the center of downtown at First Avenue and Pike Street. In an atmosphere of genial commotion overlooking the waterfront, merchants create precise displays of produce and glistening arrays of very fresh fish. Vendors might offer pottery, jewelry, wind socks, local honey and juices. Pizza and cookie stands vie with cafes and oyster bars for the lunch crowd, and street musicians provide a range of entertainment. The lower level has shops selling spices and teas, magic tricks, comic books, movie and Seattle memorabilia, while additional space across the street includes ethnic food shops and a crumpet factory.
