Seattle, Washington

• Pike Place Market. Great food, flowers, crafts, antiques and street performers all come together to create one amazing place-Pike Place Market. The highlight of this outrageous farmers market is the fresh fish and the entertaining merchants who actually toss the fish like footballs (now that’s not something you don’t see everyday). For more information, visit www.pikeplacemarket.org.


• Space Needle. It was built for the 1962 World’s Fair. Since that time, the Space Needle has become a symbol for Seattle. Highlights include the observation deck-520 feet up-and SkyCity, the revolving restaurant that offers spectacular views of the city. For more information, visit www.spaceneedle.com.
