Did you know that its iconic architecture actually was a compromise of two mens\u00b4 ideas: Edward E. Carlson wanted to create a dominant central structure, inspired by the Stuttgart Tower. So he came up with the sketch of a giant balloon tethered to the ground.The architect John Graham finally turned the balloon into a \u00b4flying saucer\u00b4 and so the Space Needle\u00b4s shape as we know it today was born. Seattle\u00b4s Space Needle is definitely a great location to visit. From its rotating observation deck at 520 feet \/ 160 metres you can enjoy views of the Seattle skyline, the islands surrounding the city and the Cascade Mountains in the distance. If you are more into spotting the Space Needle itself rather than standing on top of it, just read my article <a href=\"https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/en\/america\/usa\/washington\/seattle-best-views\/\">\u201eSeattle at-a-glance: Insights for Outlooks\u201c<\/a>, where I\u00b4ve put together a list of Seattle\u00b4s best viewpoints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  width=\"1160\"  height=\"1652\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"Seattle Center Space Needle lookup\"  class=\"wp-image-25859 pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1160px) 100vw, 1160px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/USA_Seattle_Space-Needle_Seattle-Center-4-1160x1652.jpg\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/USA_Seattle_Space-Needle_Seattle-Center-4-1160x1652.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/USA_Seattle_Space-Needle_Seattle-Center-4-800x1139.jpg 800w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/USA_Seattle_Space-Needle_Seattle-Center-4-320x456.jpg 320w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/USA_Seattle_Space-Needle_Seattle-Center-4-560x798.jpg 560w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/USA_Seattle_Space-Needle_Seattle-Center-4-1320x1880.jpg 1320w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/USA_Seattle_Space-Needle_Seattle-Center-4.jpg 1348w\" ><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-art-museums-at-seattle-center\"><\/span>#2 Art Museums at Seattle Center<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At Seattle Center you can actually find some more arty sights, which are especially a great option if the local weather lets you down. Chihuly Garden &amp; Glass e.g. is a museum presenting artworks of Dale Chihuly, an American glass sculptorer whose work is included in more than 200 museum collections worldwide. I haven\u00b4t visited the colorful exhibition myself yet, but it\u00b4s a recommendation I got from several people independantly. So I will definitely check it out next time I\u00b4ll be going to Seattle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Practical tipp:<\/strong> You can save some money by buying a <a href=\"https:\/\/web.ticket.chihulygardenandglass.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">combined pass<\/a> for the Space Needle observatory and the Chihuly Glass Museum, or with the purchase of a discounted ticket, available 2 hours before the museum closes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another spot for creative inspiration at Seattle Center is the Museum of Pop Culture (MoPOP). This non-profit museum features in-depth exhibitions and brings the history of pop music and pop culture to life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  width=\"1160\"  height=\"773\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"Art installations at Seattle Center\"  class=\"wp-image-26433 pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1160px) 100vw, 1160px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Seattle_Space-Needle_Seattle-Center_Collage-1-1160x773.jpg\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Seattle_Space-Needle_Seattle-Center_Collage-1-1160x773.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Seattle_Space-Needle_Seattle-Center_Collage-1-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Seattle_Space-Needle_Seattle-Center_Collage-1-320x213.jpg 320w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Seattle_Space-Needle_Seattle-Center_Collage-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Seattle_Space-Needle_Seattle-Center_Collage-1-560x373.jpg 560w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Seattle_Space-Needle_Seattle-Center_Collage-1.jpg 1920w\" ><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"3-olympic-sculpture-park-art-by-the-water\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3-olympic-sculpture-park-%e2%80%93-art-by-the-water\"><\/span>#3 Olympic Sculpture Park &#8211; Art by the water<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This outdoor park, operated by Seattle Art Museum hosts various sculptures as well as permanent and rotating installations from influencial modern artists.Access to Olympic Sculpture Park is free and open to the public, which attracts plenty of bikers, walkers, locals who enjoy their lunch break and Seattle visitors alike.

Not only the 11 stories filled with 1.45 million books, magazines etc. and 400 computers open to the public are a paradise for library lovers. The steel and glass architecture of the Central Library\u00b4s building attracts photographers and architecture fans alike. There is a &#8220;Book Spiral&#8221; between floors 6 to 9, which is basically a 275-seat auditorium including open spaces. The lookout from the 10th floor is the highest public point, with views down to level 3. So if you are around, make sure to check it out. You can access the library and walk through the entire building without any registration. For sure a fun experience also to do just some random people watching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  width=\"1160\"  height=\"870\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"Seattle Central Library\"  class=\"wp-image-26373 pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1160px) 100vw, 1160px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Seattle_CentralLibrary-7-1160x870.jpg\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Seattle_CentralLibrary-7-1160x870.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Seattle_CentralLibrary-7-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Seattle_CentralLibrary-7-320x240.jpg 320w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Seattle_CentralLibrary-7-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Seattle_CentralLibrary-7-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Seattle_CentralLibrary-7-560x420.jpg 560w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Seattle_CentralLibrary-7.jpg 1920w\" ><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  width=\"1160\"  height=\"483\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"Central Library, Seattle Washington\"  class=\"wp-image-26383 pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1160px) 100vw, 1160px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Seattle_CentralLibrary_Collage-1160x483.jpg\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Seattle_CentralLibrary_Collage-1160x483.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Seattle_CentralLibrary_Collage-800x333.jpg 800w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Seattle_CentralLibrary_Collage-320x133.jpg 320w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Seattle_CentralLibrary_Collage-1536x640.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Seattle_CentralLibrary_Collage-560x233.jpg 560w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Seattle_CentralLibrary_Collage.jpg 1920w\" ><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5-amazon-spheres-amazon-go-downtown-seattle\"><\/span>#5 Amazon Spheres &amp; Amazon Go, Downtown Seattle<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Another glass building with fascinating architecture is Amazon\u00b4s&nbsp; &#8220;The Spheres&#8221;.

And if you fancy a digital shopping experience you can stop by at the adjacent Amazon Go to shop, simply paying with the Amazon app automatically&nbsp; while walking out &#8211; no queueing at the cashier needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  width=\"1160\"  height=\"870\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"Amazon Spheres Seattle\"  class=\"wp-image-26415 pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1160px) 100vw, 1160px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Seattle_AmazonTheSpheres-2-1160x870.jpg\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Seattle_AmazonTheSpheres-2-1160x870.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Seattle_AmazonTheSpheres-2-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Seattle_AmazonTheSpheres-2-320x240.jpg 320w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Seattle_AmazonTheSpheres-2-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Seattle_AmazonTheSpheres-2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Seattle_AmazonTheSpheres-2-560x420.jpg 560w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Seattle_AmazonTheSpheres-2.jpg 1920w\" ><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  width=\"1160\"  height=\"1450\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"Amazon Spheres Seattle, Washington\"  class=\"wp-image-26417 pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1160px) 100vw, 1160px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Seattle_AmazonTheSpheres-3-1160x1450.jpg\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Seattle_AmazonTheSpheres-3-1160x1450.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Seattle_AmazonTheSpheres-3-800x1000.jpg 800w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Seattle_AmazonTheSpheres-3-192x240.jpg 192w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Seattle_AmazonTheSpheres-3-1229x1536.jpg 1229w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Seattle_AmazonTheSpheres-3-320x400.jpg 320w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Seattle_AmazonTheSpheres-3-560x700.jpg 560w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Seattle_AmazonTheSpheres-3.jpg 1536w\" ><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6-fremont-troll-under-the-aurora-bridge-seattle\"><\/span>#6 Fremont Troll under the Aurora Bridge, Seattle<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Created and sculptured by four local artists, the Fremont Troll is the result of an art competition launched by the Fremont Arts Council back in 1990. Part of the purpose was to rehabilitate the areal underneath Aurora Bridge, after it became a dumping ground and meeting point for drug dealers. As Steve Badanes, Will Martin, Donna Walter and Ross Whitehead won the competition with their Scandinavian-inspired troll sculpture, the project can definitely be considered as a big success. Today the Fremont Troll is a local landmark, tourist attraction and photo-hotspot. And the Northern part of Aurora Avenue was even renamed into &#8220;Troll Avenue&#8221; in 2005, honoring the positive impact the sculpture had.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  width=\"1160\"  height=\"870\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"Seattle Fremont Troll, Aurora Bridge\"  class=\"wp-image-26425 pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1160px) 100vw, 1160px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Seattle_FremontTroll-4-1160x870.jpg\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Seattle_FremontTroll-4-1160x870.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Seattle_FremontTroll-4-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Seattle_FremontTroll-4-320x240.jpg 320w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Seattle_FremontTroll-4-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Seattle_FremontTroll-4-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Seattle_FremontTroll-4-560x420.jpg 560w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Seattle_FremontTroll-4.jpg 1920w\" ><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"7-seattle-gum-wall-art-not-for-everybodys-taste\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7-seattle-gum-wall-%e2%80%93-art-not-for-everybody%c2%b4s-taste\"><\/span>#7 Seattle Gum Wall &#8211; art not for everybody\u00b4s taste<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201eIs this supposed to be art &#8211; or can it be chucked away?\u201c Co-workers of Seattle\u00b4s Market Theater have answered this question already 20 years ago, after in 1993 patrons of the theater started to stick their chewing gums to the brick walls, which soon after became a popular tourist attraction. Also the <em>Pike Place Market Preservation &amp; Development Authority<\/em> initiated a complete scrub down and steam cleaning of the gum wall in 2015 to prevent further erosion of the bricks, caused by the high sugar-content of the gums. But neither the attempts of the theater workers nor the big cleaning 20 years later could stop people from sticking thier chewed gums straight to the walls. In 1999 the market officials had already given up cleaning the wall and deemed it a tourist attraction instead. Since in 2009 the gum wall had received another \u201eaward\u201c as one of the Top 5 germiest tourist attractions and even Jennifer Aniston was posing in front of the Gum Wall in the movie \u201eLove Happens\u201c, it turned into a local landmark and (Instagram) hotspot, which is no longer indispensable \u2013 if you like it or not. The central location right behind popular Pike Place Market plus the fact that city tours such as Seattle\u00b4s Ghost Tours take off from Post Alley doesn\u00b4t help to stop the fame and countless curious visitors passing by every single day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  width=\"1160\"  height=\"773\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"Seattle Gum Wall\"  class=\"wp-image-26405 pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1160px) 100vw, 1160px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Seattle_GumWall-3-1160x773.jpg\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Seattle_GumWall-3-1160x773.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Seattle_GumWall-3-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Seattle_GumWall-3-320x213.jpg 320w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Seattle_GumWall-3-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Seattle_GumWall-3-560x373.jpg 560w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Seattle_GumWall-3.jpg 1920w\" ><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  width=\"1160\"  height=\"483\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"Seattle Gum Wall\"  class=\"wp-image-26409 pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1160px) 100vw, 1160px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Seattle_GumWall_Collage-1160x483.jpg\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Seattle_GumWall_Collage-1160x483.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Seattle_GumWall_Collage-800x333.jpg 800w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Seattle_GumWall_Collage-320x133.jpg 320w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Seattle_GumWall_Collage-1536x640.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Seattle_GumWall_Collage-560x233.jpg 560w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Seattle_GumWall_Collage.jpg 1920w\" ><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  width=\"1160\"  height=\"773\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"Seattle Gum Wall\"  class=\"wp-image-26407 pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1160px) 100vw, 1160px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Seattle_GumWall-4-1160x773.jpg\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Seattle_GumWall-4-1160x773.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Seattle_GumWall-4-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Seattle_GumWall-4-320x213.jpg 320w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Seattle_GumWall-4-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Seattle_GumWall-4-560x373.jpg 560w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Seattle_GumWall-4.jpg 1920w\" ><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"8-sodo-track-worlds-longest-curated-streetart-corridor\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8-sodo-track-%e2%80%93-worlds-longest-curated-streetart-corridor\"><\/span>#8 SODO Track &#8211; World\u2019s longest curated streetart corridor<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>60 artists, 32 walls, 3 summers, 2 miles make up for 1 holisitic art experience &#8211; this is Sodo Track, located in Seattle\u00b4s stadium district.

It already hosted several film festivals and serves chocolate popcorn. Cinemarama opened in 1963 but got in danger of being demolished after the suburban multiplexes gained in popularity during the 80s and 90s. In 1999 the theater re-opened after entrepreneur Paul Allen had saved Cinemarama by buying it and embarked a multi-million-dollar renovation. In 2014 Cinemarama again underwent a huge renovation and got upgraded with a state-of-the-art digital laser projection system, new screens, Dolby Atmos surround sound &amp; cinema speaker system, wider seats etc. So if you are into the movies, you got to check out Cinemarama or even plan to watch a screening there!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  width=\"1160\"  height=\"773\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"Seattle Cinemarama\"  class=\"wp-image-26385 pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1160px) 100vw, 1160px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Seattle_Cinemarama-1160x773.jpg\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Seattle_Cinemarama-1160x773.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Seattle_Cinemarama-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Seattle_Cinemarama-320x213.jpg 320w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Seattle_Cinemarama-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Seattle_Cinemarama-560x373.jpg 560w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Seattle_Cinemarama.jpg 1920w\" ><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"10-skyscrapers-downtown-seattle\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10-skyscrapers-%e2%80%93-downtown-seattle\"><\/span>#10 Skyscrapers &#8211; Downtown Seattle<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are into architecture and highrise buildings, you shouldn&#8217;t miss walking around downtown and admire some views through the high-rise canyons.

My passion is my passport and travelling makes me smile since I started exploring the world on my own back in 2007. I have travelled in and around more than 50 countries and made the world my living room and travel hub. Now based in Portland, Oregon, I create helpful itineraries and travel guides of destinations in the US, my former country of residence China, adjacent Asian travel destinations, as well as my home country, Germany, and beyond.
