Hotels near Seattle Lake Union Seaplane Base - LKE, Seattle

Seattle has a few things of intrest but many of those things cost money. We were disappointed that the only Whale Watching bussiness was shut down while there. We did the double decker bus but it is expensive. We also did the Space needle and Gardens but again very expensive for what they are. Certain times are discounted but the tour bus doesnt corrilate with those times. Not a place with enough things going on for me to travel there again.

We loved exploring Seattle and found many natural parks to walk in such as Discovery Park, Golden Gardens Park, and Carkeek Park. We also loved going to the Ballard Locks and watching all the boats go through. Both the Chiluly Museum and the Modern Pop Culture Museum were great.

Wondeful places to visit including plke street market, flowers fish and totally unique stalls and shops. New landscaped promenade.Must do Space needle and Chihuly glass gardens. People friendly. 2 really good wool/ yarn shops, So much yarn and yarn dragon. Both really good with helpful staff. Worth spending the extra days around going to an Alaskian cruise. Just a lovely place to visit both scenically and for independent shops. oh, coffee...lots of really good ones.

Was a nice trip but a few positive and negatives worth mentioning. Positives - I had heard there was a major homeless problem here, but we did not encounter much at all near the tourist areas were we stayed. Pretty place on the water with many options to do like taking a ferry to Bainbridge, Pike Market and the 3 attraction spaced close together by Space Needle. Negative - The food was soooo overpriced where $25 burgers are the norm. Service fees really irked me where you receive your bill and there is a mandatory 5% service fee that states this does not go to the server but is used for rising costs (then add it to the prices instead of doing it this way).

Great stopover on the way to Canada. Please note ferries from Seattle do not leave every day as advertised. I think 2 full days minimum. The chihuly gardens next to the needle are truly beautiful. Mopop surprisingly fun and a good coffee in iits cafe.

It was vibrant & young city & good food & lots of place to see & easy walking with good views. There are homelessness problems though… you see them throughout the city which makes you feel unsafe especially at night time. If you stays & tour day time, you would enjoy the city better.
