During your Seattle vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
The Space Needle
From a distance it resembles a flying saucer on top of a tripod, and when it was built for the 1962 World's Fair, the 605-foot-tall Space Needle was meant to suggest future architectural trends. Today the Space Needle is the quintessential symbol of Seattle, and at 520 feet above ground level, its observation deck provides superb views of the city and its surroundings. Displays identify more than 60 sites and activities in the Seattle area, and high-powered telescopes let you zoom in on distant sights. You'll also find a pricey restaurant, SkyCity, atop the tower. If you don't mind standing in line and paying quite a bit for an elevator ride, make this your first stop in Seattle so that you can orient yourself. There are, however, cheaper alternatives if you just want a view of the city.
Seattle Central Library
It isn't often that the library is considered one of the coolest joints in town, but Seattle's new downtown library, opened in summer 2004, is such an architectural wonder that it has been the talk of the town. Now, not all that talk has been positive -- but I'll leave it to you to decide whether you love it or hate it. There doesn't seem to be any middle ground with this giant glass cube and its diamond-patterned steel girders and strange angles. Regardless of your reaction to architect Rem Koolhaas's design, you can't help but notice that in a town known for its gray skies, this library abounds in natural light. There are also colorful spongy chairs, floors of bamboo and brushed metal, carpets printed to look like plants, and a garden designed to meld with the carpets. Oh, and if you need to use the Internet, this place has hundreds of computer terminals, too.
Odyssey Maritime Discovery Center
Sort of an interactive promotion for modern fishing and shipping, this facility at the north end of the Seattle waterfront is aimed primarily at kids and has more than 40 hands-on exhibits highlighting Seattle's modern working waterfront and its links to the sea. Exhibits include a kid-size fishing boat, a virtual kayak trip through Puget Sound, and a live radar center that allows you to track the movement of vessels in Elliott Bay. In another exhibit, you get to use a simulated crane to practice loading a scale model of a cargo ship.
Hosteling International--Seattle
This conveniently located hostel, housed in the former Longshoreman's Hall, which was built in 1915, is popular with young European and Japanese travelers. It's right between Pike Place Market and Pioneer Square, only 2 blocks away from the waterfront, which makes it very convenient for exploring downtown Seattle. A kitchen and luggage-storage facility make this a solid budget alternative. Some of the hostel's rooms even have views of Puget Sound. To get here, walk down Post Alley, which runs through and under Pike Place Market, to the corner of Union Street.
Seattle Marriott Waterfront
Located across Alaskan Way from Elliott Bay, this is Seattle's newest luxury hotel. Although it doesn't have the superb views of the nearby Edgewater, it's the only other option if you want to stay on the waterfront. The hotel seems to do a brisk business putting up people heading out on cruises (some cruise ships dock right across the street). The best views are from the large junior suites at the northwest corner of the property. Because of the way the hotel is designed, many standard rooms have only limited views, but they do have little balconies where you can stand and breathe in the salt air.
Mayflower Park Hotel
If your favorite recreational activities include shopping or sipping martinis, the Mayflower Park is for you. Built in 1927, this historic hotel is connected to the upscale Westlake Center shopping plaza and is within a block of both Nordstrom and Bon-Macy's. Most rooms here are furnished with an eclectic blend of contemporary Italian and traditional European pieces. Some units still have small, old-fashioned bathrooms, but all have been recently renovated and are now up to modern hotel standards. The smallest guest rooms are cramped, but these standard rooms have also been renovated in the past few years. If you crave space, ask for one of the larger corner rooms or a suite. There are also rooms with two bathrooms (popular with women traveling together). Martini drinkers will want to spend time at Oliver's lounge, which serves the best martinis in Seattle and has free hors d'oeuvres in the evening. The hotel's Andaluca restaurant is a plush, contemporary spot serving a highly creative cuisine.
