Seattle

Tucked along Elliott Bay on Puget Sound, Seattle is a city whose character is shaped by its working waterfront and the waterways that surround it. Downtown rises from the bay toward the Cascade foothills, while Lake Washington forms the city’s eastern edge. The Space Needle, built for the 1962 World’s Fair, remains Seattle’s most recognisable landmark, and nearby Pike Place Market has operated above the waterfront since 1907. Seattle’s identity is also tied to music, technology and the coffee culture that developed into global brands. Ferries crossing Puget Sound keep the region closely connected to its islands and peninsula communities. Explore nearby locations that provide complementary perspectives on Seattle and Puget Sound.
