Waterfront

Explore

Take a stroll through the beautifully reimagined 20-acre Waterfront Park, where wide paths, public art, and salty sea breezes set the tone for a perfect day by the bay. Book an adventure with Argosy Cruises to marvel at local wildlife, including Puget Sound’s resident orcas. Wings Over Washington is an immersive flight ride that swoops you over Washington’s most jaw-dropping scenery, while The Seattle Great Wheel provides sweeping views of Elliott Bay and the skyline.

Eat and Drink

The vibrant Waterfront is lined with inviting spots to soak up the salty air and Elliott Bay views. Across the street from iconic Ivar’s Fish Bar, sample inventive ales on the spacious terrace at Urban Family Brewing, slated to open in early 2026. On Pier 56, Elliott’s Oyster House has long earned raves for its dockside patio and an oyster bar that showcases succulent local varieties. Six Seven Restaurant, at the historic Edgewater Hotel, pairs sweeping bay views with a handsome, lodge-inspired dining room. Anthony’s Pier 66 & Bell Street Diner reels in seafood lovers with creative takes on salmon and crab cakes, and Hook & Plow serves up pizzas and gastropub fare.
