 GETTING AROUND SEATTLE'S WATERFRONT
The Waterfront is relatively cut off from the rest of downtown Seattle, although
the nicely landscaped Hill climb Corridor (at the end of Pike St) serves as a
handy people-funnel between the Waterfront and Pike Place Market. Still, the
steep hillsides make access problematic for some; it can be as much as an
eight-story descent down open stairways from 1st Ave to Alaskan Way. Also, when
city planners elevated the Alaskan Way viaduct - essentially a freeway - between
downtown and the Waterfront, they created a psychological barrier that's hard to
ignore. While it in no way infringes upon getting from one place to the other,
Alaskan Way is incredibly noisy, and the parking areas under the freeway can be
a bit scary at night. Be sure not to leave anything valuable in your car if you
park here.

Seattle Waterfront
History
The main tourist areas of the Waterfront are between Piers 52 and 59. Waterfront
Park is the name given to Pier 57; it's just a boardwalk on the pier, but at
least you can get out onto the Sound and get a feeling for the area. It's also
the best place to tote your corn dogs and fish-and-chips from the adjacent piers
and take a seat on a waterside bench. Keep your eyes on your fries, however, as
Waterfront seagulls can resemble a pack of hungry bears. Piers 54, 55 and 56 are
devoted to shops and restaurants, including novelty venues such as the
100year-old Ye Olde Curiosity Shop, a bizarre cross between a museum and a
souvenir shop.
