SeattleJehan Nizar takes on the Emerald City in 24 hours
Top of the list
You’ve probably seen Seattle’s most iconic structure,
the Space Needle, in some avatar – peeking through
the clouds on a quintessentially grey Seattle afternoon
on a TV show or glittering against the night skyline in
postcards. But nothing will prepare you for an up-close
and personal view. Queue up after buying tickets at the
foot of the monument where time flies as you watch
numerous caricaturists perform. Several popular artists
including Tom Huf started their careers at the Space
Needle. Take the 41-second ride up to the observation
deck, 158-metres high, for a breathtaking 360-degree view
of the city. You’ll see the bustling Elliot Bay Waterfront,
the lights of downtown Seattle and Mount Rainier.
Tress to impress
A visit to the hairdresser may seem an unlikely thing
to do on a 24-hour stopover, but Seven is hair heaven.
When the doors of this retreat at the Pacific Place
Shopping Centre open, you will be forgiven for doing a
double take at the lounge-like ambience. Tastefully placed
Buddha sculptures and warm wooden flooring lend an
unmistakable Oriental feel to the place, and lull you into
a complacent mood.
It makes you want to surrender your tired mane to the
trusted hands of the salon’s experienced stylists. Sport
a plush bathrobe and enjoy the smooth lounge beats
churned out by the salon DJ — a testament to the city’s
hipster vibe.
Pit stop at Pike Place
Much has been written about the farmer’s market Pike
Place Market and the famous fishmongers here definitely
live up to their boisterous reputations. Spend a few
minutes watching them hurl fish across the stalls as they
add theatrics to an otherwise mundane task. Stroll around
the market and shop for some souvenirs or organic and
gourmet ingredients. Seattle was the birthplace of
Starbucks and if you’re a java connoisseur head to the
original store in the market.
A trip to the quaint, English tea room-styled The
Crumpet Shop is another must. Your hardest choice here
will be to decide between the savoury pairings such as
pesto, tomato and English cheese or walnuts, honey and
ricotta to sample with your favourite brew.
Dinner destination
Indulge in a fine-dining experience at Aqua by El Gaucho.
Offering culinary flair and a spectacular backdrop, this
hidden gem is tucked away at the tip of Pier 70. While
the fate of a potentially enjoyable al fresco evening on the
massive outdoor deck depends on the fickle weather, you
can rest easy at the 25-metre fully lit serpentine bar inside.
The creamy seafood chowder is guaranteed to warm you
up, and the grilled Chilean sea bass is a standout dish. 7
A quirky landmark in Post Alley under the Pike Place
Market is the Market Theatre Gum Wall, which is covered
in used chewing gum, several centimetres thick in some
spots. Started by theatre patrons more than 20 years ago,
it became an official tourist attraction in 1999. Weird? Yes.
Definitely something to chew on.
