What to do and see in Seattle, Washington (WA): The Best Nature & Wildlife Areas

February 27, 2022 Dorsey Hagwood

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.

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.
