Seattle Center
Seattle Center is a legacy site of the 1962 World's Fair and has developed into a cultural park that integrates technology, art, music, and urban history. Iconic venues such as the Space Needle, Chihuly Garden and Glass, Museum of Pop Culture, and Pacific Science Center are all located here. The International Fountain plaza, as the central open space of the park, is a place for visitors to rest and gather. The Space Needle is the park's iconic landmark. The observation deck offers 360-degree panoramic views. The observation level features a rotating glass floor, allowing you to look directly down at the city ground through the transparent glass beneath your feet. On clear days, you can see Mount Rainier in the distance from the tower, and at dusk, you have the chance to see the silhouette of the snow-capped mountain and the city lights turning on one by one. Chihuly Garden and Glass exhibits numerous works by glass artist Dale Chihuly, with indoor galleries and outdoor gardens complementing each other. The Museum of Pop Culture was designed by architect Frank Gehry. The museum features an interactive Sound Lab where visitors can get hands-on experience with instruments like electric guitars, drums, and keyboards, and even try their hand at mixing music. The Pacific Science Center is family-friendly, featuring an IMAX theater and a tropical butterfly house, where butterflies reside year-round in a warm and humid environment.

Mount Rainier National Park
Mount Rainier National Park is located in the Cascade Range and has a long history. The park's main peak, Mount Rainier, has an elevation of approx. 4,400 m and is an active, snow-capped volcano surrounded by glaciers, attracting many climbers every year who attempt to reach the summit. From the towering, ancient coniferous forests in the low-altitude valleys to the open subalpine meadows halfway up the mountain, and the waterfalls in the canyons, the landscape is distinct and layered, with wildlife such as black bears, deer, and marmots often seen roaming the area. Paradise on the south slope is the park's signature area: in summer, wildflowers bloom across the mountainside, usually reaching their peak from late July to early August, and the classic Skyline Trail starts here. In winter, it transforms into a snow-covered wonderland, having recorded over 28 m of snowfall in a single year; playing in the snow and snowshoeing are classic activities here year-round. Built in the early 20th century, Paradise Inn is known for its log beams and large cobblestone fireplace, and you can see the snow-capped mountain and meadows from the window. On the drive to Paradise, you will also pass Narada Falls, which is worth parking to see. Sunrise on the northeast side presents a different kind of expansive scenery: it is the highest point in the park accessible by road, offering a close-up view of the massive Emmons Glacier, and on clear days, you can see neighboring peaks such as Mount Baker and Glacier Peak.United States · Pierce County

If you are into aviation or space this is a great place to visit. It is actually three buildings that have displays and exhibits. If you choose to pay extra they will actually allow you in the Spruce Goose which is very cool!

You can walk to the Seattle 520 Bridge from Bellevue, as shown in Figure 1. There is also a beautiful park and parking lot here. If you like to walk across the bridge, you can reach Seattle. If you like to take the bus, you can also do so. The bus station is just below the parking lot. There are many buses and the waiting time is not long. It is very convenient.
