    Makes for the best afternoon strolls and sunset walks as you soak in the Seattle beauty along the Waterfront. Local tip: grab a hot dog from the stand and have ice cream in hand!

    Enjoy excellent views of the city skyline, the West Seattle Bridge and the Olympic mountains while strolling around this bustling area of downtown Seattle. Perfect for people-watching! #seemoresights

    Great view of the Puget Sound. Just beware if you decide to go on the Ferris wheel though because it costs $13 per person. Also there are a lot of good seafood restaurants nearby. Lots of tourist too.

    Beautiful place to walk and enjoy the scenery! There are several shops and places to eat along the boardwalk, a few very entertaining pedicab drivers!

    The Seattle Waterfront is a must visit to at least take in the sights including the Seattle Great Wheel. Stop by Ivar's for a cup of chowder!

    Go to the crab pot when you are here. We got so lucky on a nice sunny seattle afternoon with the good view of the great wheel!
