From the Great Wheel on Pier 57 to the original Starbucks on Pike Place — 1.6 miles along Seattle's rebuilt waterfront. Fish throwers launch salmon 15 feet over the counter, the Gum Wall was cleaned of 2,350 pounds in 2015 and re-covered within weeks, and the sea lions arrived uninvited after the 1989 earthquake.
