What to do and see in University District, Washington (WA): The Best Museums
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.

What I know about anthropology or even science in general you could put in a thimble, but I was totally fascinated by the three floors of displays as well as the people working on them. This museum warrants a few hours for laymen like me to view and try to absorb the wealth of knowledge on display. There is a small gift shop and a snack bar that serves fry bread and Indian tacos as good as any you'll find.
