Sightseeing

Massive variety of flowers, seafood, food stalls, and restaurants. Although one of Seattle's most frequented tourist destinations, it does not disappoint with views of Elliott Bay and northwest fare. Stop by the Elleno's yogurt stall - not joking, you'll never look at yogurt the same way.

The 30 minute ferry ride provides stunning views of the city and waterfront, and lands you in Bainbridge Island's quaint downtown. Tons of boutique restaurants, shops, and beautiful walking paths. Catch the ferry home and time it with the sunset to cap off the day.
