What are Seattle’s most famous landmarks and monuments?

Space Needle

A trip to Seattle isn’t complete without a visit to the Space Needle. This futuristic observation tower stands out on the city skyline and is a must-see for many visitors holidaying on flights to Seattle. Head to the Space Needle observation deck, which sits 184 metres (605 feet) above the ground. The observation deck provides picture-perfect views over Seattle, the Puget Sound, and Mount Rainier. Space Needle visitors can save some cash by bundling their ticket with the Chihuly Garden at the base of the tower. This colourful glass museum is another popular attraction to have on your radar when you book cheap flights to Seattle.

Pike Place Market

Pike Place Market is located on the Elliott Bay Waterfront and has been in operation since 1907. The market is one of the main draws for travellers visiting Washington on flights to Seattle. It’s even the city’s most visited landmark with 10 million annual visitors. Pike Place Market is home to about 250 vendors who sell everything you can imagine – fresh flowers, souvenirs, clothing, delicious meals, and handmade crafts. The fish stalls are arguably the most well-known part of Pike Place Market due to the fishmongers who famously throw fish back and forth to each other.

Seattle Great Wheel

The Great Wheel is just down the road from Pike Place Market and is another must-visit attraction when you book cheap flights to Seattle. It’s 53.3 metres (175 feet) high, making it the tallest ferris wheel on the American west coast. Take a ride on the Great Wheel for one of the best views you’ll find while holidaying on return flights to Seattle. The wheel’s location at the edge of Elliott Bay means riders can take in an incredible waterfront view as well as glimpse of the city skyline and Space Needle.
