Easy access from downtown (Warwick) motel. Great shopping with provision of map to follow on foot. Many tours can be scheduled on the spot near Pike's Market, not needing to be scheduled ahead online as I thought. Some of the "natives" were pretty scary, so we were careful about areas to walk and timing to get back to the hotel before dark.
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.

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.
theres so much to do. i suggest stopping by, its amazing. theres tons of stores, and restaraunts. perfect for the family. anything but boring. its definately a must see

First stop on our trip

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 must stop! When walking along the waterfront you acn sit there and watch the ferries come and go or you can just watch the people walk by. You can also look down into the water and see starfish and jellyfish! This place is a must stop when you are in Seattle!

Romantic

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 ...
