Known for its natural beauty, outdoor recreation and quirky culture, Seattle, Washington, is a top destination.
One of the gateways to the Pacific Northwest, Seattle is almost always buzzing and, while some say it’s the coffee, the city’s many attractions give it a vibrant energy just begging to be explored. Experience the best of Seattle’s top attractions with Seattle CityPASS.
City Views
Seattle’s most iconic attraction – the Space Needle – sits on the grounds of the Seattle Center, originally the site of the 1962 World’s Fair. From the Space Needle’s saucer-shaped observation deck, visitors enjoy views of Puget Sound and the Olympic and Cascade mountain ranges. For those who make the trip to the top after dark, the city’s expanse of shimmering lights is unforgettable.
Go from great heights to Seattle’s waterways with a harbor cruise. Learn about Seattle on Argosy Cruises Harbor Tour, a one-hour, live-narrated cruise of Elliott Bay and the Seattle Harbor. Enjoy views of the city skyline, mountains, shipping terminals and historic neighborhoods.
