QQQQQQQQQQ

 

I am staying at Quality Inn and Suites near Seattle Center

it looks like we could walk over there and get the Metrorail

down to the "downtown" area....would that be Westlake or ?

is that the best way to get to Pike Place?

 

thanks

yes, you can walk to the Seattle Center and catch the Monorail to Westlake, then walk 3 blocks to the Market.

your hotel is well outside the 'free ride' zone however anything in downtown is basiclly in the zone so once you take the monorail in you can get around pretty easy. You might want to look on tripadvisor.com Seattle forum. On top right is a one day itinerary without a car, starting at the space needle.
