Description
Experience the best of Seattle in one unforgettable half-day adventure that blends historic neighborhoods, iconic viewpoints, innovative engineering, and the natural beauty of Snoqualmie Falls.

Continue to Kerry Park, where you’ll enjoy world-class skyline views and incredible photo opportunities backed by Mount Rainier on clear days.
Explore the quirky Fremont neighborhood with a stop at the Fremont Troll, then take in scenic views over Lake Union from Gas Works Park while learning about Seattle’s aviation heritage and rise as a global tech hub. Drive past the Amazon Spheres and discover how innovation transformed the city.

Leaving the city, travel east across Lake Washington while hearing about Seattle’s engineering achievements.
