Suzzallo and Allen Libraries

For major Hogwarts vibes, visit the Suzzallo Library at the University of Washington and head up to the Reading Room on the third floor. For a completely different modern style (but still v Instagrammable space), check out the Central Library of the Seattle Public Library.

Pike Place Market

One of the oldest continuously operated farmer’s markets in the US, Pike Place Market retains much of the character and architecture of the early 1900s when it was first built and is another highlight of Seattle. More than just a marketplace, Pike Place is Seattle’s cultural hub, home to some of the best locally grown produce, fresh seafood, specialty food, handmade gifts and independently owned shops and boutiques.

Arguably the most iconic structure in Seattle, the towering height of the Space Needle makes it easily visible from a mile away as you take in the incredible Seattle skyline.

Kerry Park

Finally, head to Kerry Park in lower Queen Anne for the best views of the city. Plus, Queen Anne itself is an adorable neighborhood, so if you travel by foot, you’ll have plenty of ’gramming opportunities on your way to the park. And if you’re reeeeally lucky, you might even glimpse a view of Mount Rainier.

Gum Wall

Just outside the main entrance of Pike Place Market is Seattle’s infamous “Gum Wall”, which has become somewhat of a cult attraction since it was started back in the 90s. It is said that the patrons of Market Theatre were warned not to stick their gum under their seats, and as a result, began sticking them on the brick walls outside the theatre instead. For some bizarre reason the trend took, and today the theatre’s walls are completely covered in a visually-stunning layer of coloured gum.

Starbucks Reserve Roastery

Starbucks coffee aficionados will be in for a treat at the massive Starbucks Reserve Roastery and Tasting Room in Seattle. The first of its kind, this Starbucks concept store is as much a place of worship for coffee-lovers as it is a place to get acquainted with the ins and outs of the art of coffee-making.

The Spheres

A botanical-like workspace for their employees, the Amazon Spheres is both an office and a piece of art. This gorgeous and other-worldly structure was built with 2,600 panes of glass arranged in five-sided panels and its futuristic appearance has often been compared to Seattle’s other iconic structure – the Space Needle. If you’re looking for another cool and funky architectural shot to add to your feed, this is absolutely the place to head to.

Seattle Pilates Collective

After stumbling upon the lightning bolt after visiting Verve Bowls, I knew I had to add them to Seattle’s Most Instagrammable Places in Ballard. This lightning bolt wall outside of Seattle Pilates Collective.
