Welcome back to another edition of Three Stacks Thursdays! Today is an exciting day because we are one day closer to Friday and we also found some fun things to do in Seattle, Washington. So if you ever find yourself in the Emerald City with nothing to do, these activities will definitely show you a good time!
Visit Pike Place Market:
This indoor and outdoor market is located on Elliot Bay and has been described as something similar to the circus. As one of the world’s oldest farmer’s market, it sees 10 million visitors annually. There are numerous restuarants, shops, and large flower stands to explore while there. Also, the world’s first Starbucks is located there and Thomas, a grouchy balloon man, is a long time vendor to check out! No matter what you’re in the mood for, the Pike Place Market is definitely a fun time.

Visit the Space Needle:
This popular tourist attraction is a United States landmark and a symbol of Seattle. The tower is 605 feet high and has an observation deck at 520 feet. To get to the top only takes a minute, but the wait is normally an hour long, but well worth it. At the top, you can see the Downtown Seattle skyline, Olympic and Cascade Mountains, and Elliot Bay. The Space Needle also has a gift shop and rotating SkyCity restuarant.

Financial Tip of the Day:
Surf the internet for deals before you head to the store!
Before you decide to head to the mall, check out deals online for specials and sales. Stores often have deals that are online only and not offered in the store. They might have buy-one-get-one-free offers or unadvertised in-store sales. You’ll be suprised to see how much you save with the online specials most stores provide!
