Seattle Port of Call
Tucked away in the Puget Sound, the water-surrounded hills of Seattle have vibrant districts blending rugged Pacific Northwest wilderness with a modern cosmopolitan city. The most popular attractions in Seattle are its defining skyline building, the Space Needle, and the famous seaside market, Pike Place Market, which is home to 'thrown fish'.
Two downtown cruise terminals, Bell Street Pier number 66 and the Smith Cove Terminal on pier 91, welcome over 800,000 passengers a year on more than 200 ships, mostly starting on their voyage to Alaska. Pier 91 is north of the city centre near Magnolia Bridge and Pier 66 is directly downtown.

The tourist information centre is east of Pike's Place Market on
Pike St.
Transport
Taxis from both terminals at the port are available as is a bus service from the Bell Street stop near Pier 66. Both terminals also have kiosks for rental cars. Walking to the city centre from Pier 66 is a short jaunt but difficult from Pier 91.
Attractions
The most well known attractions near the port is the towering Space Needle and shopping in Pikes Place Market. Paul Allen's ode to rock music, the Experience the Music Project wonderfully combines museum, concert hall and music laboratory. A great airplane and flight museum, Seattle Aquarium and the famous Seattle Arts Museum are all tourist hot spots. Improbably, so is the new downtown library.

Pike Place Chowder - authentic and award-winning chowder
Chandler's Crabhouse - upscale, with many different varieties of crab.
