Pike Place Market 96 km
A public market above Elliott Bay on the edge of downtown Seattle, open since 17 August 1907 and among the oldest continuously running farmers' markets in the country. Farmers, craftspeople and fishmongers fill its arcades, where the fish sellers famously throw salmon across the counter.

An observation tower built for the 1962 World's Fair at Seattle Center, its saucer top standing 184 metres above the ground. From the top it looks out over Elliott Bay, the downtown towers and, on a clear day, Mount Rainier.
