Driving Downtown - Seattle 4K - USA
Driving Downtown - Seattle Washington USA - Season 1 Episode 17.
Starting Point: Pine St .
Seattle is a West Coast seaport city and the seat of King County. With an estimated 662,400 residents as of 2015,[2] Seattle is the largest city in both the state of Washington and the Pacific Northwest region of North America, and, as of July 2013, is the fastest-growing major city in the United States.[6] The Seattle metropolitan area of around 3.6 million inhabitants is the 15th largest metropolitan area in the United States.[7] The city is situated on a narrow isthmus between Puget Sound (an inlet of the Pacific Ocean) and Lake Washington, about 100 miles (160 km) south of the Canada–United States border. A major gateway for trade with Asia, Seattle is the 8th largest port in the United States and 9th largest in North America in terms of container handling.[8]
The Seattle area was previously inhabited by Native Americans for at least 4,000 years before the first permanent European settlers.[9] Arthur A. Denny and his group of travelers, subsequently known as the Denny Party, arrived from Illinois via Portland, Oregon on the schooner Exact at Alki Point on November 13, 1851.[10] The settlement was moved to the eastern shore of Elliott Bay and named Seattle in 1852, after Chief Si'ahl of the local Duwamish and Suquamish tribes.
Logging was Seattle's first major industry, but by the late 19th century the city had become a commercial and shipbuilding center as a gateway to Alaska during the Klondike Gold Rush. By 1910, Seattle was one of the 25 largest cities in the country.[11] However, the Great Depression severely damaged the city's economy. Growth returned during and after World War II, due partially to the local Boeing company, which established Seattle as a center for aircraft manufacturing. The Seattle area developed as a technology center beginning in the 1980s, with companies like Microsoft becoming established in the region. In 1994 the Internet retail giant Amazon was founded in Seattle. The stream of new software, biotechnology, and Internet companies led to an economic revival, which increased the city's population by almost 50,000 between 1990 and 2000.
Seattle has a noteworthy musical history. From 1918 to 1951, there were nearly two dozen jazz nightclubs along Jackson Street, from the current Chinatown/International District, to the Central District. The jazz scene developed the early careers of Ray Charles, Quincy Jones, Ernestine Anderson and others. Seattle is also the birthplace of rock musician Jimi Hendrix and the alternative rock style grunge.[12]

Visiting the Fremont Troll in Seattle Washington
The Fremont Troll is a large 15 tall sculpture of a troll that lives under a bridge in Seattle Washington.
The Troll is located under the Aurora bridge that carries state route 99, in the neighborhood of Fremont. The Troll was originally built in the 1990's to clean up an area that had become a haven for drug dealers. Now it's a haven for tourists!
This is definitely one of those wild and wacky things to do in Seattle. But if you're like me, and you like the quirky attractions, go check out the Fremont Troll.

Seattle, a city on Puget Sound in the Pacific Northwest, is surrounded by water, mountains and evergreen forests, and contains thousands of acres of parkland. Washington State’s largest city, it’s home to a large tech industry, with Microsoft and Amazon headquartered in its metropolitan area. The futuristic Space Needle, a 1962 World’s Fair legacy, is its most iconic landmark. The city is situated on an isthmus between Puget Sound (an inlet of the Pacific Ocean) and Lake Washington, about 100 miles (160 km) south of the Canada–United States border. A major gateway for trade with Asia, Seattle is the fourth-largest port in North America in terms of container handling as of 2015.
First time in Seattle? Cut to the chase and make a beeline for its proverbial pantry: Pike Place Market. It was founded in 1907 to fortify locals with fresh Northwest produce, and its long-held mantra of ‘meet the producer’ still echoes enthusiastically around a city where every restaurateur worth their salt knows the name of their fishmonger and the biography of the cow that became yesterday’s burgers. It doesn’t take long to realize that you’ve arrived in a city of well-educated palates and wildly experimental chefs who are willing to fuse American cuisine with just about anything – as long as it’s local.
Visitors setting out to explore Seattle should think of the city as a United States of Neighborhoods or – to put it in more human terms – a family consisting of affectionate but sometimes errant siblings. There’s the aloof, elegant one (Queen Anne), the cool, edgy one (Capitol Hill), the weird, bearded one (Fremont), the independently minded Scandinavian one (Ballard), the grizzled old grandfather (Pioneer Square) and the precocious adolescent still carving out its identity (South Lake Union). You’ll never fully understand Seattle until you’ve spent a bit of time with them all.
To outsiders, Seattle is an industrious creator of macro-brands. To insiders, it’s a city of micro-businesses and boundary-pushing grassroots movements. For proof, dip into the third-wave coffee shops, the microbreweries with their casual tasting rooms or the cozy informal bookstores that remain rock solid in a city that spawned Amazon. Then there are the latest national trends that Seattle has helped create: craft cider, pot shops, micro-distilleries, specialist pie-makers, homemade ice cream and fledgling nano-breweries. Walk the streets and scour the neighborhoods; there’s far more to this city than Starbucks' vanilla lattes and Boeing airplanes.
It may have nurtured tech giants Microsoft and Amazon, but that doesn’t mean Seattle hasn’t got a surreal, arty side. Crisscross its urban grid and you’ll find all kinds of apparitions: a rocket sticking out of a shoe shop; a museum built to resemble a smashed-up electric guitar; glass orbs in wooden canoes; a statue of Lenin; a mural made of used chewing gum; fish-tossing market traders; and a museum dedicated to antique pinball machines (that you can still play). No, you haven't over-indulged in some powerful (legal) marijuana. You’ve just worked out that Seattle is far more bohemian than beige.

4:23 A glimpse of the Space Needle through the Belltown section of Seattle
Belltown is the most densely populated neighborhood in Seattle, Washington, United States, located on the city's downtown waterfront on land that was artificially flattened as part of a regrading project. Formerly a low-rent, semi-industrial arts district, in recent decades it has transformed into a neighborhood of trendy restaurants, boutiques, nightclubs, and residential towers as well as warehouses and art galleries. The area is named after William Nathaniel Bell, on whose land claim the neighborhood was built.
In 2007, CNNMoney named Belltown the best place to retire in the Seattle metro area, calling it a walkable neighborhood with everything you need.
Belltown is home to the Art Institute of Seattle, Antioch University, Argosy University, the Seattle School of Theology & Psychology and RealNetworks Headquarters. It lies directly west of the Denny Triangle neighborhood, where online retailer Amazon is constructing three office towers to house its downtown headquarters, and where the Cornish College of the Arts is located.
10:40 Crossing Lake Washington Ship Canal
The Lake Washington Ship Canal, which runs through the city of Seattle, Washington, connects the fresh water body of Lake Washington with the salt water inland sea of Puget Sound. The Hiram M. Chittenden Locks accommodate the approximately 20-foot difference in water level between Lake Washington and the Sound. The Canal runs east/west, and connects Union Bay, Lake Union, the Montlake Cut, Portage Bay, the Fremont Cut, Salmon Bay, and Shilshole Bay, with the Sound, which empties into the Pacific Ocean.
12:50 Arriving Edmonds, Washington
Edmonds is a city in Snohomish County, Washington, United States, 11 miles (18 km) north of Seattle, Washington. Edmonds has a view of Puget Sound and both the Olympic Mountains and Cascade Range. The third most populous city in Snohomish County after Everett and Marysville, the population was 39,709 according to the 2010 census. Based on per capita income, one of the more reliable measures of affluence, Edmonds ranks 37th of 522 areas in the state of Washington to be ranked.
Edmonds is a port in the Washington State Ferries system. Currently, the only ferry from Edmonds is a run to Kingston, Washington; in the past, there have been much longer routes from Edmonds to Port Townsend, Washington
13:15 Leaving Edmonds, Washington
17:20 Arriving Everett, Washington
Everett is the county seat of and the largest city in Snohomish County, Washington, United States. Named for Everett Colby, son of founder Charles L. Colby, it lies 25 miles (40 km) north of Seattle. The city had a total population of 103,019 at the 2010 census, making it the 7th largest in the state and fifth-largest in the Puget Sound area. It received an All-America City Award in 2002.
Everett is home to the largest public marina on the west coast of the United States and is the western terminus of the western segment of U.S. Route 2. It is also home to Boeing's assembly plant for the 747, 767, 777 and the new 787. Boeing's Everett facility is known for being the largest building in the world by volume at 116.5 million cubic feet (3,300,000 m3).
In 1984, Everett was selected as the site of a U.S. Navy Homeport, Naval Station Everett. The Naval Station formally opened in 1992 and on January 8, 1997 welcomed the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln. The Lincoln is no longer homeported in Everett as of Winter, 2011. The aircraft carrier, USS Nimitz (CVN-68) has replaced the Lincoln as Everett's homeported ship, as of March 9, 2012. Everett is also home to the Port of Everett, an international shipping port, that brings trade, commerce, jobs and recreational opportunities to the city.
In 2003, Xfinity Arena (then known as Everett Events Center), effectively opened Everett to tourism. The $83 million arena continues to host events, once exclusive to Seattle's KeyArena, to present day.

Lets Visit Gasworks Park in Seattle + Fremont Troll + Gum Wall At Pike Place Market
???????? Tour Gasworks Park in Seattle along with other noted city landmarkks such as the Fremont Troll and The Gum Wall at the Pike Place Market. Join real estate expert and Seattle native Sean Reynolds as he takes you on a tour of Seattle's top 3 most popular tourist destinations.
We will go to the Troll underneath the Fremont Bridge, located in the Fremont Neighborhood, just north of downtown Seattle. We will look at and visit the history of Gasworks Park, an old gas refinery that the Seattle of Seattle turned from a toxic wasteland into a really nice waterfront park for the citizens of Seattle. And finally, lets check out the Gum Wall at Pike Place market. Yep, pretty gross!!! Let's look at it anyway.
Whether you’re a family looking for budget-friendly finds or a seasoned traveler on the hunt for the latest Instagram-worthy vista, Summit Properties NW has you covered.
Transcription:
Hi, I'm Sean Reynolds, the owner of Summit Properties NW and Reynolds & Kline Appraisal. Welcome to another episode of Only in Seattle. We are at the site of Gas Works Park in Seattle today.
So today we're going to check out Gas Works Park, which we're at now. Then we're going ahead to the troll underneath the Aurora bridge that's pretty close by and then we're gonna run into Downtown Seattle and go to the pike place market and check out what I consider to be the creepiest thing about the pike place market.
So Gas Works Park, one of the weirdest parks in all of Seattle and possibly one of the top weirdest parks and all the world. And what makes it so special is that this was an actual gasification plant that was run from 1906 to 1956. And then the city of Seattle bought it and made it into what it is today, and many of the original structures from the gasification plant, as you can see in the background here, were left as part of the park and a lot of the debris and the concrete from the original structures is underneath the ground and has been built up with dirt, kind of went through a toxic cleansing process and you can see what it is today. And we've actually got an artificial kite hill. You can run a kite down, launch it, get it going, and at the top there's this crazy sun dial that is also part of one of the exhibits.
A few things about this park is that it's an excellent place to watch the 4th of July fireworks. Those are just crazy huge. There's a massive display here and this is also the beginning of the Seattle naked bike ride. That's an important cultural event here in Seattle. So Gas Works Park was also featured in the movie Singles and also in 10 things I Hate About You. Same one as in the troll that we're going to see here shortly. And one of the kind of special features about Gas Works Park is that it's another example of how the city of Seattle is taking something that was a real negative.
This was like a real urban blight, a gasification plant that had been shut down. What do you deal with it? Well, they took it and created it into this really cool waterfront park that's got a lot of features and a lot of stuff going on and yet they still left some of the original structure so that people know kind of what its origins were and now it's just a major destination and a really cool place for people to come and visit and hang out.
The Fremont Troll, also known as the troll under the bridge, is an 18 foot tall public sculpture in Seattle's Quirky Fremont neighborhood. What's crazy about this 1300 pound troll is that it's entirely made out of rebar, wire, and concrete. The artists that created the troll wanted to turn trash into an interactive piece of art. Visitors are encouraged to climb on him and poke out his hubcap eye also clutching a Volkswagen car with a California license plate. The Fremont troll is bizarre and truly something you can only find in Seattle. Now we're headed down to the Seattle waterfront to check out one of pike place market, weirdest attractions.
You've probably heard of pike place market. Uh, it's one of the biggest public markets and most well known in the world. But what you probably don't know is that one of the strangest attractions, is just down below. Let's go take a look.
We're now at the market theater gum wall and it's in an alleyway just below pike place market. Pike place market is right up there; and upstairs. There's just a ton of gum here. So how did all this get here? It's Kinda just to strange bizarre thing and it goes for probably 40 feet that way and another 40 feet that way. It's on both sides of the alley. How did this get started? So in 1993, there was an Improv theater right around here. And employees, from there, started to put their gum on the wall and they would start to do it in kind of decorations.
