In Seattle you simply can’t skip the Central Public Library – a modern architectural marvel of glass grids, unusual shapes, and a “book spiral” that climbs four stories. Stroll over to Pike Place Market to visit the original Starbucks and play catch with a fishmonger. In the heart of the city lies Chihuly Garden and Glass, which will dazzle you with its colorful and delicate works. Glide to the top of the Space Needle for panoramic views of the surrounding mountain ranges and Puget Sound.

Vetri is a premier art gallery in Seattle offering a curated presentation of contemporary sculpture and well-executed handmade objects. At the core of our presentation are unique pieces that celebrate materials, an excellence in craftsmanship and the process of design. We believe beauty is an essential part of life, and that artists grant us access to beauty in new and unexpected ways; ways that educate our emotions and enhance our everyday lives. Founded in 1996 by the Traver family, Vetri began as a gallery dedicated to the young Studio Glass artists of the Pacific Northwest. Many prominent artists, such as Preston Singletary and Nancy Callan, had their first show at Vetri. Over the course of 20 years, we have exhibited hundreds of artists working with glass, and we have developed a reputation as being a launching pad for artists working in the medium. We have recently expanded to include interesting work by emerging ceramics artists, and intriguing sculptural jewelry by independent designers. Visit our gallery and rediscover handmade. We are located one block south of the historic Pike Place Market, across the street from the Seattle Art Museum and the Four Seasons Hotel.

Located in the heart of Seattle, Chihuly Garden and Glass provides a look at the inspiration and influences that inform the career of artist Dale Chihuly. Through the exhibition’s eight interior galleries, lush outdoor garden and centerpiece Glasshouse visitors will experience a comprehensive look at Chihuly's most significant series of work. With both day and night experiences, and full-service dining in the adjoining Collections Café, this long-term exhibition offers a unique experience rain or shine.
This was an amazing privelege to witness the remarkable talent of Mr. Chihuly and his team of artists. From the amazing and gravity-defying displays to the glass-blowing demo in the courtyard, this place is fantastic! I would like to shake the hand of every member of the cleaning crew, too. Not a speck of dust marred the breathtaking sculptures with their thousands of glass pieces! I'd add that this place was fantastic for my friend and I (grown-ups) and my teenage son appreciated the artwork (and the the glass blowing demo), but I wouldn't risk bringing toddlers or young kids in unless their temperament is calm and obedient. This is a great place to bring older kids, though, to truly marvel at the talent and artistry that goes into making each piece and then putting all those pieces together into a sculpture (landscape, etc.) that is really magical. The gift shop has some unique pieces, too (lots of great gifts). I'm glad my spendy teen was at home or I'd be broke for sure! Another tip is that the gardens outside were just as beautiful as the displays inside. I'd recommend timing your visit with nicer weather (I'm told we got lucky) so you can maximize your experience. You can probably put your hood up and deal with raindrops, but the outdoor gardens are best when you're not rushed by rain. We also had the privelege of seeing the gardens from the Space Needle at dusk (lit up) and wish we had been able to go back into the gardens when it's lit up. From what we could see through the thick hedges (not much) and from above, it looked fantastic! Side note: We got a CityPass and were able to pair it with the Space Needle and MoPop and do all 3 in one day. That alone made it worth the cost of the CityPass.

We are the oldest continuously operating retail produce stand in the historic Pike Place Market of Seattle. We are the home of Oh My God fruit and vegetables. We can ship anywhere in the country through FedEx overnight shipping.
Whatever Mike offers you, it will not disappoint! With so much to put in your belly in the area you're missing out if you don't stop by here for the best fruit you'll ever try. Taylor Gold pears and OMG peaches when you can get them. Best Rainier cherries in the PNW. They don't play when it comes to what they source. Went home with some plums, mangos, apples and dried strawberries on our latest trip there. and they always hook up our dog with a treat too. Great people providing great produce.

One of the few authentic farmer's markets in the United States, this hub of delicious scents, delectable eats and delightful personalities attracts nine million visitors a year.
Whether you live in Seattle, or are visiting, Pike Place Market is an awesome experience for every sense. You'll be surrounded by color, food, flowers, art, artisan cheeses, meats, flying fish (!), local arts and crafts, street musicians, and a great selection of restaurants from casual to one of the best kept secrets in Seattle - Maximillen's French Restaurant - tucked away behind the fish market on the south end of Pike Place on the top level. A wine list to die for, and fabulous French cuisine.
