Tour Itinerary
Downtown Area
The tour will begin in Seattle’s bustling downtown core highlighting the Pike Place Market, Seattle Art Museum, Shopping District, & World’s Oldest Starbucks.
Pioneer Square & Stadium District
Seattle’s original downtown is now a 35 square block historic district filled with turn of the century Romanesque architecture, art galleries & trendy restaurants all of which border the sports stadiums for the Seahawks, Sounders and Mariners.
International District & Waterfront
Home to Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, Korea, Cambodian, and Hmong communities, this neighborhood continues to play a role in Seattle’s multicultural identity. Seattle’s waterfront includes the aquarium, ferris wheel, classic seafood restaurants, funky souvenir shops, historic piers and ferry and water taxi terminals.
Seattle Center & Queen Anne View Point
The Seattle Center is a 72 acre urban park and is the site of the 1962 World's Fair. The home of the Space Needle, Paul Allen’s Experience Music Project, Dale Chihuly’s Garden and Glass exhibition and Pacific Science Center.
Kerry Park on Queen Anne Hill provides a dramatic panoramic photo opportunity of Seattle’s skyline. You’ll also view the spectacular architecture and aesthetic in one of the city’s more exclusive, old-money neighborhoods.
Fremont Neighborhood & Magnolia Bluff
Fremont neighborhood, famous for its outdoor art and nude bicyclists in the Summer Solstice parade is also a microcosm of the challenges Seattle faces as it grapples with growth. This once quirky bohemian artist colony is now transforming into a high tech powerhouse with offices for Google, Tableau and Adobe while remaining true to its artsy roots.
The views just keep coming! Along with our stop in Fremont, we’ll visit the rocky peaks and grassy knolls of Magnolia Bluff. This northwest Seattle neighborhood sits atop a peninsula looking out upon Elliott Bay. Watch ferries and boats float across the water, with West Seattle, Bainbridge Island, and even majestic Mt. Rainier in the distance on a clear day.
