Arrived in Seattle a couple of days before our Alaskan cruise to enjoy some of the sights. The combo ticket at the Space Needle includes the trip up the needle, the Chihuly exhibition, and two IMAX movies.  Dale Chihuly is from Tacoma, WA and his glass studio is in Seattle.  Wow!  He is incredibly talented and can blow and shape some amazing glass.  We enjoyed the views from the needle and spent time just sitting, sharing a peach pie in the sky, and looking at the views.  The day is what you might expect in Seattle, rain and clouds, but that didn't spoil the day.  Beautiful art, gorgeous views, and educational movies (we didn't understand half of the IMAX movie Deep Sky 😂).  After a complimentary wine social hour at the hotel, the Kimpton Palladian, we ended the day with a delicious seafood dinner at Elliott's Oyster House at Pier 56 right along the waterfront.  Yum!
