Description:

Built for the 1962 World's Fair, this 605-foot towering structure may also rate as one of the nation's most recognized structures...and one of its most overrated tourist traps.  The $22 adult day-and-night ticket is about as steep as the Needle itself, and one's wait in line will often exceed the time spent at the top.  The views are free and just as impressive atop the Columbia Tower nearby on Fifth Avenue.

Both the restaurant and the prices are sky high at this revolving restaurant, located just below the observation deck at the top of Seattle's famous Space Needle. However, because you don't have to pay extra for the elevator ride if you dine here, the charges start to seem a little bit more in line with those at other Seattle splurge restaurants. Okay, so maybe you can get better food elsewhere, and maybe you can dine with a view at other Seattle restaurants, but you won't get as spectacular a panorama anywhere else. The menu offers some distinctly Northwestern flavor combinations, but still has plenty of familiar fare: Simply prepared steaks and seafood make up the bulk of the offerings, with a couple of vegetarian options thrown in. I recommend coming here for lunch; the menu includes some of the same dishes, prices are considerably more reasonable, and the views, encompassing the city skyline, Mount Rainier, and the Olympic Mountains, are unsurpassed.

So enjoyable you won't want to reach your destination!

The country's largest ferry system would have to be in a city surrounded by water. With twenty terminals, eight routes and over 15 million passengers a year, Washington State Ferries are both practical and fun. If you're considering hopping over to Bainbridge, Bremerton, Mercer or any of Seattle's interesting islands, a peaceful ferry ride is a far cry from sitting on a bridge in traffic.

Located on Vancouver's West Fourth Avenue in Kitsilano, this cool spot offers finely prepared Japanese cuisine with an emphasis on sushi. The Tuna Sashimi melts in the mouth and the Yam Tempura Roll has gained a cult-like status among regular patrons. It has very elegant, spare, and hip decor. Its look has been called 'Zen Deco', a combination of Zen interpretation and Art Deco design. The establishment is fully licensed.
