Pike Place Fish Market

Seattle Pike Place Fish Market

This past summer 2018, I acted as a tour guide for friends visiting Seattle for the first time. We had so much fun exploring not only Seattle, Washington but also Victoria, B.C. (which I will write about in another article).

If you visit Seattle, the main stops downtown are the central waterfront area which includes: the Pike Place Market, the Ferris Wheel overlooking Elliott Bay, Seattle Aquarium, a variety of restaurants, and unique shops. A monorail ride will take you from the waterfront to the iconic Space Needle, Seattle Center, Museum of Pop Culture (MoPOP), and Chihuly's Garden and Glass exhibit.

If you find yourself in Seattle for business and/or pleasure, take the time to explore. You will be glad you did. If you don't you will miss some things that make Seattle truly remarkable.

I had to show my friends the fish market at the Pike Place Market. Pictured below, covered in ice, are some of the freshest variety of seafood.

We waited to see a fish thrown into the air to a customer, and we were not disappointed. Our cameras, however, were not ready for it since we had just begun to head to the unique shops within the market. These shops sell flowers, food, jewelry, gift items and much, much more.

I will post more Seattle and Victoria adventures as time permits. Seattle is a beautiful place, scenic, creative and entertaining, and I hope we can keep it that way.

Seattle Aquarium 2018

Seattle Aquarium We loved visiting the Seattle Aquarium this past summer. There was so much variety and the exhibits were bursting with colors as pictured below: I think pictures tell a story sometimes as much as words. The staff at the Aquarium can be just as entertaining! If you haven't ever visited this great venue in Seattle, then you are missing out on a very educational experience. It is conveniently located at Pier 59 on the Elliott Bay waterfront among the quaint shops that line the harbor area. Check out their website Seattle Aquarium for events, tickets, and location. It is fun for the whole family. If you are a tourist or Washington resident that loves to be a tourist in this awesome city, then check out the discount tickets at CityPass . You can get unbelievable package deals for the hottest attractions in Seattle, including the Seattle Center, Space Needle, Argosy tours and Chihuly Gard...

Norway's Midnight Sun

Holding the Midnight Sun Norway was our destination. My husband and I spent two weeks exploring the cities of Bergen and Trondheim as well as the Islands along the western fjords. Our Norwegian relative tour guides told us we could not leave Norway without experiencing their midnight sun. We searched for the best place on one of the Islands and found it! The midnight sun was glowing across the horizon off the coast of Norway deep into the summer night. There was a thrill just for being on top of ancient rocks that lined the coast of the Atlantic as the light was starting to fade in the distant horizon. Our words and laughter seemed to echo across the rocks as the waves crashed high into the air. We were not only enjoying the view but the sounds and smell of the open air of the salty ocean. The glowing sun became a light in our hands as we stood and faced the camera. As a couple we “held” the sun ...

Island Hopping in Washington State for 10 Days

Orcas Island, Washington State Here's a detailed 10-day island-hopping itinerary in Washington State, focusing on cultural experiences, food, historical sites, and staying within a $300-$400 daily budget. This itinerary assumes you're starting and ending in Seattle, and it factors in ferry costs, accommodation, food, and activities. It also assumes you're renting a car for flexibility (crucial for island exploration). Important Notes: * Ferry Reservations: ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL, especially in peak season (summer). Make reservations well in advance at [ https://wsdot.wa.gov/ferries](https://wsdot.wa.gov/ferries) . Book round-trip tickets where possible. * Accommodation: This itinerary suggests a mix of budget-friendly hotels, charming B&Bs, and potentially some camping (to save money). Prices can fluctuate, so book in advance. I've estimated costs based on average prices, but always check for deals. * Food: ...
