Three of the Top Places to Visit in Seattle


In 2016, Max Edelsack graduated with a BA in sports communication and psychology from Marist College, where he announced a variety of athletic events and served in leadership capacities with his fraternity. In addition to his educational endeavors, Max Edelsack enjoys music and once toured the country with a rock band, stopping in such cities as Chicago, Los Angeles, and Seattle, Washington.

Known as the Emerald City, Seattle is perhaps best known to tourists as home of the Space Needle. However, aside from the internationally known, 605-foot outlook tower, the city features many unique attractions, including the following three.

1. Pike Place Market

Established 100 years ago, Pike Place Market operates as one of the oldest farmers markets in the country. It has also evolved into a notable tourism icon, celebrated for its wide selection of restaurants and boutiques.

2. Central Public Library

One might not consider adding the local library to a travel itinerary, but the Central Public Library in Seattle merits a visit. The building features a distinct, geometric architecture with massive glass facades, and guests have the option of taking a self-guided cell phone tour of the interior.

3. Kerry Park

Among the many things to see in Seattle travelers may also want to visit Kerry Park, a popular destination which offers an unparalleled view of the city. In fact, photographers have taken scores of postcard photographs of Seattle from this location.
