Discover Dazzling Architecture
In any major city, you can tell who the tourists are because they’re always staring up (if not down at a map). It’s a shame, though, because not all Seattleites appreciate how exquisite the skyline here is. Start your architectural tour by walking under the striking arched ceiling of Gothic Suzzallo Library, and explore the rest of the University of Washington Seattle campus while there. Follow it up with a visit to the Museum of Popular Culture, Frank Gehry’s signature neo-modernist masterpiece.

Admire Abundant Art
If you’re a Seattle local, then you’ve surely noticed the city’s artistic side. Public art — in the form of murals, sculptures, and other eye-catching works — dots the streets nearly everywhere you look. The main attraction is the Seattle Art Museum, which houses an impressive permanent collection and hosts renowned touring exhibits. We also highly recommend exploring the Frye Art Museum, a celebrated institution that interprets the ever-evolving identity of the area through the lens of expression.

Don’t Be Afraid to Be a Tourist
You may be a local, but taking a day to see Seattle through the eyes of a tourist can give you a new perspective on the city you love. There’s no better place to start than the world-famous Space Needle, and if you’ve already done that, then opt for the views from the 175-foot Seattle Great Wheel or on a picturesque Harbor Cruise. Follow it up with a few rounds at the hands-on Pinball Museum or a show at the historic Paramount Theatre.
