Explore Seattle with Comfort and Confidence

Space Needle

The most recognizable landmark in Seattle offers not just jaw-dropping views, but also full wheelchair accessibility. A high-speed elevator takes you up to the observation deck and SkyCity Restaurant, where the city skyline and Mount Rainier unfold before you.

Pike Place Market

One of the oldest and most beloved public markets in the U.S., Pike Place is alive with colors, sounds, and flavors. Whether you’re watching fish fly, exploring flower stalls, or visiting the original Starbucks, you’ll find wide, navigable spaces that are welcoming for wheelchair and scooter users.

The Museum of Flight

Often overlooked, this museum is a highlight for aviation fans and history lovers alike. It’s fully accessible and packed with immersive exhibits, historic aircraft, simulators, and even the original Air Force One. The Museum of Flight is designed to make discovery easy for every visitor.

Ballard Locks and Botanical Garden

In the warmer months, the Ballard Locks are a peaceful and fascinating spot. Watch boats pass between Lake Washington and Puget Sound, and peek into the fish ladder viewing area to see salmon navigating upstream. The surrounding botanical gardens and summer concerts make it a relaxing outing — and yes, it’s fully accessible.
