Best months: June, July, August and September.

What to see in Seattle

1. Pike Place Market
   Perched above Elliott Bay, this market packs fishmongers, farmers, florists and craftspeople into a maze of arcades and staircases.
2. Space Needle
   With its saucer-shaped top perched on a slender shaft, the Space Needle still carries the optimism of the 1962 World's Fair.
3. Chihuly Garden and Glass
   Dale Chihuly's blown glass leaves the display case here: huge, richly colored forms you can study up close, indoors and out in the garden.
4. Museum of Pop Culture (MoPOP)
   Frank Gehry's building, with its colorful metallic curves, is worth a look on its own, and inside, music, science fiction and pop culture come together with real playful energy.
5. Kerry Park
   From this small sloping viewpoint on Queen Anne Hill, all of Seattle opens up in one glance: the downtown towers, the Space Needle at the center, Elliott Bay to the west.
6. Mont Rainier (excursion)
   Rainier is a 4,392 metre glaciated volcano that looms over the whole Seattle region, and seeing it up close changes your sense of scale.
7. Fremont (Troll) & Gas Works Park
   This pair sums up Fremont, the Seattle neighborhood that takes pride in being a little eccentric: a giant concrete troll tucked under a bridge, then a former industrial site turned park on Lake Union.
8. Ballard Locks
   You come here to watch sailboats, fishing boats and barges pass between two water levels, from the lake out toward Puget Sound.
