The Big Four Ice Caves
In Granite Falls, watch the ice caves form in August, accessible by a gentle one-mile hike. Located just off the Mountain Loop Highway (Trail #723).
Entertainment - Arts
Two outdoor performance series run throughout the summer; one features professional children’s entertainers and the other appeals to audiences of all ages. Local businesses provide financial backing to these events, making them a true community effort.
Space Needle
You haven’t seen Seattle until you’ve seen it from the Space Needle Observation Deck. The spectacular view is, of course, the biggest attraction. The restaurant at the top of the Space Needle revolves 500 feet above the Emerald City. People throughout the world recognize the Space Needle’s distinctive shape. It stands out as Seattle’s most notable landmark.
Seattle Center / Space Needle
Legacy of the 1962 Seattle World’s Fair, the Center has become the city’s playground. Its two theaters, art gallery, opera house and coliseum always have something going on to attract Seattlites. For visitors, the Pacific Science Center is a sure bet. It’s especially fascinating for children, if you can get them away from the rides and games of the Fun Forest. Everyone’s favorite is a trip to the top of the Space Needle, the emblem of Seattle. From the observation deck or the revolving restaurant, you get the best view of the city, with picturesque Mt. Rainier in the background.
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.
The Waterfront
There’s no mistaking the fact that Seattle is a port city, and the downtown waterfront with its many piers jutting into Elliott Bay is constant proof of the fact. A leisurely walk along Alaskan Way fills your lungs with salt air and your eyes with a kaleidoscope of gift shops, tourist boats, restaurants, ferry boats, seagulls, freighters and ships of the Alaska Marine Highway.
The Seattle Aquarium
Maintained by the City of Seattle, the aquarium features an underwater dome where its visitors are surrounded by sea life. Exhibits reflect aquatic conditions of the Pacific Northwest. It’s located at Pier 59 and is open from 10:00 a.m. daily. For more information, call 386-4300.
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.
