Also where the first Starbucks store was established is Pike Place Market.
We’ll be heading to Space Needle after strolling around the market. Space Needle is a Seattle observation tower and we’re going to watch it from outside.
Chihuly Garden and Glass is a Seattle Center exhibit that showcases Dale Chihuly’s studio glass. The project consists of three main parts: the Garden, the Glasshouse and the Exhibits of the Interior. All the shows are so intriguing and amazing. Visiting is certainly worthwhile.
The EMP stands for the music project Experience. The museum was established by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen and built at the foot of the Space Needle by Avant grade designer Frank Gehry. Its colourful appearance consists of a presentation of 3000 bits of metal. We’re going to visit the Pioneer Square at the end.
