What to do and see in Broadway / Capitol Hill, Washington (WA): The Best Things to do
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.

Great place to visit on a cold windy afternoon, take the bus or drive your car. You cannot miss it, as the 100 years plus Conservatory has a granite monument to Judge Thomas Burke standing right Infront of it. The Conservatory has an assortment of flora exhibits ranging from the Clise Orchid Collection to Blue Agave and Golden Barrel cactus, check out the Bromeliad or fern House displays, there is one area just for hydrangea displays . All the staff that we met were volunteers and very knowledgeable, expressing great enthusiasm for the facilities displays. All the plants were well maintained and carefully labeled, there is even a gift shop for souvenirs for those hard to buy for people. TIP: Good walking shoes are a must, and please resist the temptation to try and take sneaky cuttings.

This is a beautiul park, beautifully maintained. There are many walks which you can discover over time, including one under the highway and over to the University of Washington stadium!. Beautiful Japanese teahouse adjacent to the childrens' playground, which is beautifully landscaped in the japanese style with water features and bridges.

I feel strange actually rating a cemetery the real attraction to this place is that it has beautiful stones and a beautiful view. It's big attraction is there Bruce Lee and his son Brandon are both berries here. I like the Nostalgia about the whole thing. It's kind of like visiting Jimi Hendrix grave in Renton

This bookstore was huge! So much fun to explore the genres and highlighted/featured authors. There's tables and seating, and even a cafe area that looked chic and delicious. They apparently do tours, how fun! Would highly recommend visiting!
