8 Instagram Worthy Spots in Seattle

Whether you are visiting Seattle for the first time or find yourself here often, let me show you the 8 best instagram spots in Seattle! 

Don’t forget to stick around until the end where you can snag your free itinerary to Seattle that includes even MORE Instagrammable spots.

Pike Place Market

 

This guide kind of can’t exist without the star of the show. Pike Place Market is the one of the top BEST instagram spots in Seattle! 

It’s not hard to see why this place has become so iconic.

 

The only way to catch a photo without crowds is to get here early! We got here at 7:30 am as vendors were starting to set-up, but we were already seeing visitors arrive. 

Don’t forget to grab some flowers just a few feet away from this spot to add a little something extra to your photo!

Gum Wall

 

Because I have your back, and want to make your Instagram dreams come true make sure to check out the gum wall located at Pike Place Market.

 

TIP: If you’re anything like me and struggle to blow a proper bubble just grab a balloon to execute this shot. 

Fremont Troll

Don’t let this picture fool you, I had to roll my body over the right arm of this statue slamming my shins into it in the process but the battle wounds were worth it to get an up close look at this local celebrity!

It can be challenging to get here, as it’s not located in central Seattle, and the metro doesn’t have a stop here but you can easily catch an Uber here or rent bikes.

We caught an Uber here and rode back on bikes. Seattle is such a bike friendly city with some of the best bike lanes, which made it extra easy to get back to our hotel!

Rainbow Crosswalk

These crosswalks are so much more than just Instagram hot spots, they are a tribute to the Seattle LGBTQ history and culture and were recently restored to their former glory.

You will find many of these located in Capitol Hill, and you don’t want to miss out on this neighborhood. It’s filled with some of the best shops and restaurants! 

Seattle Great Wheel

 

I’ve got just the place to make your photos pop. This Ferris wheel gives you some of the best views of the city making it one of the best instagram spots in Seattle!

 

Tickets cost $16 per adult, and can be purchased here.

And if you want to make it extra special you can purchase a VIP cabin with a glass bottom, although IMO you already get some spectacular views in the regular cabins. 

The Spheres

 

Amazon offices that are open to the public on the first and third Saturdays of the month. Can you imagine working in a dreamy place like this?? 

 

A real life arboretum turned work space that is filled with over 40,000 plants from around the world! It also makes for one of the best instagram spots in Seattle!

To book tickets and learn more go here

Seattle Space Needle

 

Even my fear of heights doesn’t compare to how great this place is! Not to mention one of the best instagram spots in Seattle.

 

You get two floors and 360 degree views. I have to admit my favorite part was the bottom floor, because you get to catch views from below through the glass bottom!

You will absolutely want to book tickets in advance to save yourself time standing in line. Purchase tickets here

Bainbridge Island

Okay, so maybe this place isn’t in Seattle BUT you can catch a 35 minute ferry ride to this incredibly charming place from Seattle and trust me when I say your Instagram will thank you!!

 

Even my husband didn’t mind snapping photos of this charming island, although my memory card seriously took a hit after I filled it with Bainbridge Island photos.

You will want to stop at Pegasus Coffee to admire the cutest exterior, and pop in for some delicious baked goods and drinks!

I hope this guide helped you find some of the best instagram spots in Seattle!
