mapleleaves Posted November 21, 2018 #2 Share Posted November 21, 2018 (edited) Pike Place Market needs to be a morning visit. By 11am, it's uncomfortably crowded and you just want to get outta there. If you're only going to Bainbridge for the views, consider taking the West Seattle pax ferry instead. It will drop you near Alki Beach with great skyline views. Some good eats nearby too: https://kingcounty.gov/depts/transportation/water-taxi/west-seattle.aspx I'd skip the parade in Juneau and spend time at Mendenhall Glacier.
