Newmark Towers- Pike Market was a great choice for a first visit to Seattle. The apartment was quite comfortable, nicely decorated & had great views of the city. Pike Market is just a block away, and there's a Target store right next door. The ferry terminal (for water taxi to W. Seattle, ferry to Bainbridge Island, etc.) and Seattle Aquarium are within a short walk. You can catch the monorail within a few blocks, which will get you to Seattle Center where the Chihuly Glass Museum and Space Needle are located. The front-desk staff is very courteous and helpful!
