I think on the weekend it was used for pop up's assuming it will continue that way. When there isn't a pop up going it's a place to grab an espresso beverage, wine or sake. Community curated goods, some by local artists. Love the touch of fresh flowers in the building. Has the feel of a neighborhood shop. Will definitely be back, for coffee or an after work glass of wine with a friend. Oh and they carry Sankaku oinigiri and side dishes! Love Sankaku's onigiri have had them at the pop in Melrose couple years ago. It's nice to have a place close to work that I can grab and go a quick lunch.

I found this little gem of a gift shop quite by accident but am certain to purchase from there…read moreagain in the future. This is the first review I have ever posted to yelp--that is how happy I am with the service provided by the staff of this establishment. Searching for the elusive "Jewish Wisdom Ball" as a humorous gift for my 92 year-old father (who fortunately needs nothing), it was out of stock everywhere, until it showed up on the gift shop website, on sale no less. I placed my order and crossed my fingers. Within 48 hours I received a cheery message wishing me a "Happy Hanukkah", confirming shipping and actually apologizing for not having mailed it faster in the midst of the busy holiday season! I have since had occasion to contact them again and they are always prompt, professional and courteous. The gift shop is in Seattle while I live in Illinois, yet they treat me as though I am an old friend or longtime congregation member who has been walking through their doors often over the years. Based on this positive experience I intend to continue to support them with future purchases where appropriate. They are the sort of people we need more of in the world today and I can't thank them enough for the manner in which they do their jobs.

We've been here a few times throughout the years and I have to say with the expansion Pike place…read moremarket looks cleaner modern. It still has that Seattle waterfront feel, but they're a lot more open seating areas outside to enjoy the scenery, the weather and your food. We love coming here and looking through all the shops, tasting the various food options available, looking at all the beautiful flowers that they're selling. And all the little gift ideas from all the vendors. Our favorite spot is to watch the seafood areas, throw fish around and chant while they do so. It's such a staple to see this in action when you're visiting Pike place market. Don't forget to look for all of the pigs in the market area. There's one that's hiding somewhere and then there's two that sit on the corner right in front of the fish market area. I always suggest going in hungry and just trying different foods from different areas because all the food there are a delicious. This small little area connects you down to the waterfront which has the aquarium. Beware of those stairs as they can get tiresome. But the view from the top of Pike place market down to the water is beautiful. There is not a spot that you cannot capture a beautiful site.

Even though it was crowded!! Workers were very nice and helpful and made suggestions for local places to eat!

I peeked into Fireworks Gallery minutes after deplaning in Seattle.

I kind of thought you could buy most essentials at the airport, but it turns out children's shoes are not a typical travel need, at least when they aren't being worn by traveling children. Fireworks did carry children's slippers, which caught my eye as I passed, as well as a nice assortment of unique, crafty toys and gifts. Unfortunately, my five-year-old followed me into the store and zeroed in on a tiny, colorful finger puppet in the shape of a parrot. He asked me to buy it for him, and I declined, telling him we weren't getting a souvenir before we even left the airport. He was upset by this to the point of tears, but I managed to get us out of there. We had a wonderful time in Seattle, and to his credit, the five-year-old behaved well the whole trip (and the two-year-old got new shoes). When I saw Fireworks Gallery again by our departure gate, I decided at the last possible second to stop in and get him the parrot. It was one of several Folkmanis finger puppets in a wire basket. I picked it up along with a bunny rabbit and went to check out. There was a short line at the register--I guess this shop gets decent traffic--and by the time I was up, my husband was calling to tell me we were boarding. This is how I paid $36.36 for two finger puppets that cost $10 apiece online. Fireworks got me good, but my boys do love their little puppets, which are soft and cute and well made. The wares here are definitely nicer and less generic than at your average airport store. It might cost you, though, if you wander in there with your kids.

There are also lots of areas for kids to interact. I also loved that they make the research labs so accessible to the public, with signs explaining what they are doing and windows to watch the scientists work. I've never been to a museum that did that and I think it is so special. First floor is about culture with a large emphasis on indigenous cultures. I really enjoyed the weaving exhibit. Second floor is biology with some stunning set ups of ecosystems and lots of stuffed animals. Third floor is paleontology and archaeology. I found the archaeology exhibit not as engaging as the rest. The fossils are very cool and well laid out.

We were able to walk from our hotel, which was a pleasant stroll and not far at all. Since we arrived early, we spent some time browsing the gift shop and checking out all the unique Seattle souvenirs before heading to the elevators. Once we made our way up to the observation deck, the views were absolutely spectacular. You'll find out pretty quickly whether you're afraid of heights or not! The panoramic views of Seattle, Puget Sound, the bay, and the surrounding mountains were incredible, and we spent plenty of time taking photos from every angle. One of the coolest parts of the experience was walking down to the rotating Oculus glass floor. It was such a unique attraction and definitely something you don't see every day. Watching the city streets more than 600 feet below while slowly rotating around the tower was both thrilling and fascinating. Thankfully, the glass is impressively thick and sturdy, which helped make the experience more enjoyable than nerve-racking. Whether you're a first-time visitor to Seattle or a local showing guests around, the Space Needle is a must-see attraction. Even if heights make you a little nervous, it's absolutely worth the visit for the breathtaking views and unforgettable experience.
