re: Things to do in Seattle near the Space Needle?

lived halfway between the space needle & pikes places on the water for 2 years. Here are my recs to sprinkle in a little local flavor. Myrtle Edwards park(good city views, on the water and Mountain View.). Very nice place to walk near sunset. From there you can walk down Alaskan towards the city. Once you get fair enough down you’ll see the Ferris wheel and those peers are very touristy for wasting time. Have a beer or food at Old Stove and try to sit outside. If it’s a nice day it’ll be tough but with it. Incredible views of the mountains, water & port. From there you’re right in Pikes Place. Enough said there.

Correct, Outlander. All locals sniff out an outsider when you say that. It’s “Pike Place Market.” Such named because it’s located on Pike Place (not Pike Avenue).
