Beautiful sights from the surrounding area and walk up to the needle and up at the top of the needle too! Make sure to go on a sunny day and buy tickets in advance.

You can walk to the Seattle 520 Bridge from Bellevue, as shown in Figure 1. There is also a beautiful park and parking lot here. If you like to walk across the bridge, you can reach Seattle. If you like to take the bus, you can also do so. The bus station is just below the parking lot. There are many buses and the waiting time is not long. It is very convenient.

This is a paradise for aviation fans. You can find all the planes you want to see here. From planes from World War I to the latest planes, there is really everything. In addition to aviation planes, there are also aerospace planes. The key is that there are some related to China.

Pike Place Fish Market

简一日记

If you want to know the authentic flavor of Seattle, go to Pike Place Market; if you are a coffee lover, you must go to Pike Place Market to check in the first Starbucks on earth. I wrote a note about Pike Place Market, if you are interested, you can go and learn more ❤️
