The Seattle waterfront is a bustling
commercial zone that also offers
diverse visitor experiences and views.
Ferries, cargo ships, fishing boats,
and pleasure craft all ply its waters.

This Seattle icon is a relic from the 1962 World's
Fair. The fairgrounds site is now known as the
Seattle Center, and it features a sculpture park,
the Pacific Science Center, the Museum of Pop
Culture, Climate Pledge Arena, and more. It is
still served by the 1962 monorail, connecting it
to the downtown core. Photo by Steve Cothrel
