  • Activities and Attractions
    ACTIVITIES AND ATTRACTIONS Imagine yourself sitting in a park on the Seattle waterfront, a double-tall latte and an almond croissant close at hand. The snowy peaks of the Olympic Mountains are shimmering on the far side of Puget Sound, and the ferryboats are coming and going across Elliott Bay. It's a summer day, and the sun is shining. It just doesn't get much better than this unless, of course, you swap the latte for a microbrew and catch a 9:30pm summer sunset. No wonder people love this town so much! Seattle is a city of views, and the must-see panorama is, of course, the view from the top of the Space Needle. With the 21st century in full swing, this image of the future looks decidedly mid-20th-century modern but still it's hard to resist an expensive elevator ride in any city. You can even take a monorail straight out of The Jetson’s to get there (and pass right through the Frank Gehry-designed Experience Music Project en route). EMP, as the Experience Music Project has come to be known, is one of Seattle's latest architectural oddities. Its swooping, multicolored, metal-skinned bulk rises at the foot of the Space Needle, proof that real 21st-century architecture looks nothing like the vision of the future people dreamed of when the Space Needle was built for the 1962 Seattle World's Fair. EMP is the brainchild of Microsoft cofounder Paul Allen, who built this rock 'n' roll cathedral to house his vast collection of Northwest rock memorabilia.
