Dining and Touring Tips
The Pike Place Market is the #1 tourist attraction in Seattle. http://www.pikeplacemarket.org/
I would have lunch at Jack’s Fish Spot if that looks appealing to you. There are many other choices there if not. Lowell’s has a fine view of the water and great food, breakfasts especially. I love the croissants at: http://www.lepanier.com/ The Market is a half hour walk or short bus ride from Spring Street Center. Oh and the “First Starbucks” is in the Pike Place Market.
SAM is a wonderful museum.
