I lived in Seattle for almost 8 years before I, regretably moved away. My very favorite thing to do on the weekends was to go down to the waterfront, and watch the farries come and go, eat at Ivar's Acres of Clams, browse Ye' Old Curiosity Shop, and just whatch the sun set over the horizon. It's so peaceful, and beautiful. There's ...

There is something special about walking Alaskan Way eating an ice cream cone with cars on a dilapidated viaduct above you, street musicians along side, the squawking of seagulls and the smell of salt air. The Seattle Waterfront is something that has to be done. First however, check the baseball schedule. If the Mariners are playing at home ths ...

Park your vehicle, grab some chowder at Ivar's and head to Ye Old Curiosity Shop... watch the ferries, breathe in some fresh air.

Experience the Seattle Waterfront, a little piece of Americana. Bring some spare change for the beggers or be prepared to be harassed.

The Seattle Waterfront is really pretty and clean. I went there in the morning and took a ferry ride to Bainbridge Island. It was just around $5 or so for the whole ride. It is the best way to look at Seattle skyline and waterfront from ferry deck.

We always make the waterfront our 1st stop (after we have checked into our hotel). We drop our bags and RUN for the waterfront and to have our 1st meal at Ivars. Sometimes we eat in the formal restaurant and sometimes the fastfood version. Depends on the time of day. Watching the seagulls and the Ferrys arrive and depart while we eat is fun. ...

The waterfront is a place of so much variety it is hard to describe. The small shops are great for the kids to see things they never dreamed of. The aquarium is one of the best on the west coast, and its proximity to the space needle, pikes market and the Seattle zoo, makes it a perfect place to start an exploration of seattle the kids big, and small, will never forget.
I go back every year and look foreward to it every time!

One of the more enduring images that I have about the Seattle Waterfront before my visit there is Kenny G playing his saxophone at one of the piers against the spectacular Seattle skyline at dusk. Absolutely romantic! For a city literally surrounded by water, a world-class waterfront is imperative to add romance to the city. I just loved walking ...

Our second trip to this lovely area of the country and will not be our last. The walks around the waterfront are nice just a little to busy for us. Still a great time, lots to see, great weather. Beautiful, green, and floral areas.
Bring $$$ as this area is a little on the pricey side but well worth the visit.

I really enjoy the waterfront. Of course I live here. Everytime we take family from out of state here they love it as well. One of my family members currently volunter's at the Seattle Aqurium, and i ahve visited it many times. My favorite things to do down there are goign in all the little trinket shops and walking up to Pike Place Market. ...
