SIGHTSEEING

Waterfront Revival & Market Magic

This year, Seattle officially unveiled its ambitious and expansive waterfront transformation. Today you’ll encounter new landscaped pathways, art-filled gathering spaces, and dramatic new viewpoints spanning beautiful Elliott Bay, from the sports stadiums near Pioneer Square to Pike Place Market to Belltown. For visitors, this dramatic restoration of one of the city’s most popular districts has been a complete game changer.

In 2024, the construction of Overlook Walk seamlessly connected the waterfront to Pike Place Market, one of the West Coast’s most famous visitor experiences. It’s every bit as vibrant today as when it opened in 1907, in an effort to curb soaring produce prices by allowing farmers to sell directly to consumers.

Explore our guide to making the most of these two iconic locations in Seattle. Read More »
