Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Cycling alongside an interstate is probably not the most appealing trail, but a safe and efficient way to cross Washington lake on a bicycle. And the lake views are spectacular!

Highlight • Settlement

Pike Place Market is Seattle's original farmer's market, founded in 1907. The market is the center of locally sourced artisan and specialty foods, lots of shops, restaurants and bars. It is recognized around the world and attracts thousands of visitors each year. It is a great place to explore and is one of the best places to people-watch in the city. Check out the wildly entertaining fishmongers slinging salmon while you are here.

Olympic Sculpture Park

Highlight • Monument

Seattle's waterfront will be gradually redesigned, traffic will be reorganized, roads will be tunneled, and the connections between the city and the shoreline will be improved. A building block of the concept is this park, at the same time entrance area to the north adjacent Myrtle Edwards Park.
