Things to do in Seattle, Washington (WA): The Best Nature & Parks
In Seattle you simply can’t skip the Central Public Library – a modern architectural marvel of glass grids, unusual shapes, and a “book spiral” that climbs four stories. Stroll over to Pike Place Market to visit the original Starbucks and play catch with a fishmonger. In the heart of the city lies Chihuly Garden and Glass, which will dazzle you with its colorful and delicate works. Glide to the top of the Space Needle for panoramic views of the surrounding mountain ranges and Puget Sound.

Beach made famous in a scene from the movie "Sleepless in Seattle" where Tom Hanks flies a kite with his son.

We live in West Seattle, and the waterfront walk from Alki to Harbor Ave is the best place to bike and walk, with lots of cafes on the opposite side. However, the city should widen the walking part along Alki, because you end up walking single file when it's crowded, so cannot walk with your friend(s). Simply remove the plantings (no need to water nor take care of) that separate the biking from walking, and cement it so that it is wide like the Promenade des Anglais in Nice, France. It's fun to watch the beach volleyball games, too.

Huge green park with access to the water (not sure if dogs can swim in there but they were wet)! The views are breathtaking and if you are lucky (really lucky) you can see orkas or seals or sea lions pop up out of the water. Parking was free and easy and perfect for a nice day to be outside with friends or family.
