Seattle - Downtown, Pike Place & Waterfront (PDF Chapter)

This is the Downtown, Pike Place & Waterfront chapter from Lonely Planet’s Seattle guidebook.

You don’t have to search long to find Seattle’s soul: head directly to Pike Place Market and throw away any map you might have acquired – your nose, eyes and ears are the only com-passes you’ll need here.

• see, smell and taste the unique energy of Pike Place Market, from the charismatic fish throwers to the creative – but disgusting – gum wall
• maps
• experience the latest surprise lighting up the constantly evolving Seattle Art Museum
• transport
• ride on the Bainbridge Island ferry just for the hell of it and watch Seattle’s famous skyline disappear in its foamy wake
• restaurants & accommodation

Coverage includes: Sights, Eating, Drinking & Nightlife, Entertainment, Shopping, Sports & Activities.
