Seattle weather shifts quickly—carry a packable waterproof to stay comfortable during outdoor stops.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •Watch the salmon ladder near the Lake Washington Ship Canal—local anglers and biologists often gather to observe migration.
- •Take a short walk behind Pike Place Market to find the Gum Wall’s quirky, unofficial mural rather than fighting the central crowds.
Wildlife
- •Harbor seals near the waterfront
- •Occasional bald eagles around the University of Washington shoreline
Conservation Note
Seattle prioritizes waterfront restoration and salmon habitat protection; visitors are encouraged to follow leave-no-trace principles and respect designated viewing areas near waterways.
Seattle’s growth accelerated with timber and shipbuilding in the 19th century and later with aerospace when Boeing established manufacturing that shaped the city’s economy and built heritage aviation collections.
