Visit the birthplace of modern Seattle at the Pioneer Square District. This area served as the city´s first neighborhood and urban center, and is currently protected as a historical district with several preserved buildings and homes from the Victorian era and earlier. Visit some of the local shops and art galleries as well, when you are in the area.
Part of the 1962 World´s Fair display, the International Fountain is located in the Seattle Center. Designed to embody Seattle´s tall timber, whitewater waterfalls, fishing and history of gold rushes, this large, domed fountain is the perfect place to splash around, whether you are young or old.
Seattle is known for its delicious brews, but Espresso Vivace Roasteria offers something much different than the Starbucks and Seattle´s Best chains found throughout the city. Opened in 1988 and inspired by Northern Italian espresso, Espresso Vivace creates their drinks with the motto "una bella tazza di caffe"–a beautiful cup of coffee.
