Sightseeing
Pike Place Market is an experience everyone who visits Seattle should experience. At Seattle’s original farmers market, established in 1907, you'll find stalls selling all types of goods from fresh, gorgeous (and cheap!) flower bouquets to seafood to fruits/vegetables to hand-crafted works. Even if you're not looking to buy, it's still great to walk around and take in the atmosphere.

'The Underground Tour is Seattle’s most unusual attraction, a humorous stroll through intriguing subterranean storefronts and sidewalks entombed when the city rebuilt on top of itself after the Great Fire of 1889.
The 75-minute guided walking tour begins beneath Doc Maynard’s Public House, then spills into historic Pioneer Square, Seattle’s birthplace, before plunging underground for an exclusive, time-capsule view of the buried city.'
Yep, you read that correctly. Seattle demolished one of its original seven hills to raise most of downtown by a full building story. It's pretty insane to consider -- especially since they did it 100+ years ago! (One of my top 5 places to take folks.)

Located in the heart of Seattle's historic Pioneer Square district, Salumi Artisan Cured Meats brings to the Pacific Northwest a new concept based on some very old ideas from the traditional Italian Salumeria. Salumi is a fantastic place to get a delicious sandwich for lunch. By the way, they are only open for lunch each day so get there right at 11am if you can. The line will start forming quickly (but tends to move fast.)
