The Pike Place Market is Seattle's oldest farmers market. It is a huge place with a ton of great food and cool small business inside. There are about 4 levels spanning about 4 blocks that can be explored. It sits right on the water and the views are spectacular. Be sure to visit the fish mongers and watch them throw the fish while you're there. You can also rub the pigs for luck and visit the first Starbucks ever while there.

The Underground Tour located in Pioneer square. June 6, 1889, the original city if Seattle burned down. Instead of rebuilding the city where it was, those in charge decided to build on top of the rubble, leaving the remnants under the city. The underground tours, take the tourists on a walk around the old city that is still in tact and still located under the current city of seattle. It's a really cool walk back in time to see what is was like in the 1800s in the PNW.
