I am going to Seattle in August I need suggestions? |
Travel Info I have never been to Seattle, Wa. can someone suggest some places to check out and maybe add the cost as well so I can be prepard. I will be there for a week. Thanks in advance Travel Tips There's loads to do in Seattle, and August is a perfect time to visit weather-wise. Here are a few: Visit Pike Place Market (free unless you buy something) Visit the Chittenden Locks in Ballard (also free and the most-visited spot in Seattle according to my mom) Check out Seattle Center (where the Space Needle is... I think it costs about $15 to go up to the observation deck) Take the Underground Tour that begins at Doc Maynards in Pioneer Square (I don't know the cost) Hit the beach at Alki or Golden Gardens (free) Take a ferry ride to Bainbridge Island (I don't know the cost) Tour the UW campus (April is the best time because the cherries are in bloom, but it's a beautiful campus any time of year... you might have to pay a couple bucks to park and to get into the Burke Museum if you choose, but wandering is free) Take in a baseball game at Safeco Field... the food is great even if the Mariners aren't (tickets range from $7 for bleachers to like $55) Check out some of the shops and restaurants on the waterfront (there's an actual mummy at Ye Olde Curiosity Shoppe on Pier 54) Check out Argosy Cruises... they have a bunch of lunch, dinner and themed cruises with varying price tags (if you're here during Seafair, they have a couple of Blue Angels cruises where you can watch the performance from the lake) Take the Ride the Ducks amphibious tour... it starts at Seattle Center, I think (and is probably overpriced!) Others pikes market!!! space needle & the first starbucks!!! enjoy you'll have ablast!!! check out seattle.citysearch.com Lots of stuff to do. Pike's place market downtown is fun, the downtown Pike/Pine shopping area, Lake Union, etc. Staying downtown will be expensive, if you have a car you could consider staying in Renton for example. Bring a rain coat. Pike Place Market (Free), Space Needle (14), China Town (Free), Experience Music Project (locally called EMP) (20), Waterfront (Free), also check searches on the internet. One place that a lot of Seattle residents dont know or think about is the Seattle Underground Tour in Pioneer Square (11). It gives a tour of Seattles Underground City before they raised the street levels also short history clips while touring. Its fun to do but get there kinda early and dress properly cause remember that some of the places you'll be going to have not been used in some 90 years.
