"Seattle Waterfront and Pike Place Market Walk, cycle or people-watch along the shores of Elliott Bay, a downtown stretch known for its circusy flair and spectacular vistas. You can ride the Great Wheel or visit the beloved Seattle Aquarium, home to wolf eels, sea otters, and the world's largest octopuses. Refuel with chowder from local favorite Ivar's Acres of Clams, then hit the market's 200 owner-operated shops, ranging from a radical book collection to the Northwest's oldest magic store. Just don't turn your back on the famous salmon-slinging fishmongers: They've been known to wallop selfie-photographers with a plastic decoy for yucks!"
