Sightseeing

Massive variety of flowers, seafood, food stalls, and restaurants. Although one of Seattle's most frequented tourist destinations, it does not disappoint with views of Elliott Bay and northwest fare. Stop by the Elleno's yogurt stall - not joking, you'll never look at yogurt the same way.
