10 Of The Best Places To Visit In Seattle
Maddy McCracken

Seattle is one of the most interesting cities to visit. Nature around Seattle is beautiful, the city life is bustling with street music and flying fish in the Pike Place Market. I lived in Seattle for a short time in my younger years, and recently visited and rekindled with and found a few of my favorite spots. On my most recent visit, we had roughly 2 and a half days to visit all of these locations plus Seattle University. Here are some of my top spots.

1. Pike Place Market

97 Pike St, Suite 2, Pike Place Market, Seattle, WA 98101

This is one of the classic tourist's spots in Seattle. The market is full of life, little shops, fresh fruit and fresh fish. Definitely, take the samples offered to you. The fruit is fresh and everything good fruit should be.


2. The Gum Wall

1428 Post Alley, Seattle, WA 98101

Sticky situations!!! (Punny!) Okay so apparently the city of Seattle cleaned this place up because it smelled, but the tourists fought back. For the record, the place did not smell but certainly harbored the largest amount of germs per square foot. Makes for some cool pictures.


3. Snoqualmie Falls

6501 Railroad Ave SE, Snoqualmie, WA 98065

Seattle has many beautiful falls and scenic nature spots. One of my favorites is Snoqualmie Falls. I love everything about the falls. It is beautiful and breath-taking. 10/10 would recommend.


4. Specialty's Bakery

1400 5th Ave, Seattle, WA 98101

This was a little breakfast shop we stopped at one morning. It was nicely decorated and had great pastries and coffee. It had a serene and homelike ambiance, and it would be a great study or work spot.



5. Piroshky Piroshky Bakery

1908 Pike Pl, Seattle, WA 98101

Another cute little bakery with amazing pastries. We visited Piroshky Piroshky twice because we liked it so much.



6. Seattle Great Wheel

1301 Alaskan Way, Seattle, WA 98101

Beautiful view of the city and a fun ride for those interested.


7. Space Needle

1301 Alaskan Way, Seattle, WA 98101

This is a given. If you can go up the Needle, I would definitely recommend it. Unfortunately, on my most recent trip, we did not go up it, but I have before and I remember my little kid self-being in awe.


8. Seattle Aquarium

1483 Alaskan Way Pier 59, Seattle, WA 98101

They have Sea Otters! Need I say more?



9. The First Starbucks Shop

1912 Pike Pl, Seattle, WA 98101

Beware the line for this shop can be insanely long! We ended up getting coffee at the next shop. But, if you are a huge Starbucks fan, then stop by.


10. West Seattle View

10404 34th Ave SW, Seattle, WA 98146

Another incredible view of an incredible city.

And that concludes my list! If you do go to Seattle, make sure to visit all the city has to offer and happy traveling!

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
