If only I could! Someone turned on the PlayStation 2 graphics. But here’s the view my wife and I were greeted with last night.
Foggy, cold, and rainy with a hot cup of coffee is legitimately how I could start every day. Dreary weather is my heaven. Anyway, we’re gonna see what that Ublic Market Center is about before we go home.
Pike Place Market is a very fun labyrinth. If you haven’t already, check out the Gum Wall right next to it, it’s a slightly gross tourist attraction
The Ballard locks and nearby botanical gardens are also pretty cool.
If the weather gets better, you can kayak in lake Union.
This is the perfect weather to kayak tho. Can’t get power scorched by the sun from all angles
Getting a pic in front of the gum wall is definitely on the calendar for today.
Consider lunch at Piroshky Piroshky while you’re over there.
+1 for Piroshky Piroshky!
Check out Golden Age Collectables in the lower levels if you’re into any comics, sci-fi/fantasy, or board games.
And I’m not sure if it’s still there, but Turkish Delight towards the end of the street level has amazing, well, Turkish Delight. And their baklava is delightful, especially pistachio.
If you have one on hand or can find one, taking a Polaroid selfie and sticking it to the wall is always a winner in my book. There’s also a door you can go through that leads to some steps and a window you can stand in to watch people like a viewing port it’s great. Someone else mentioned Golden Age I’d like to add that they have a small gum section as well if you feel inclined to add to the wall (which I strongly advise for the full experience)
The coffee place by the gum wall is banging btw
