Monorail tracks with Space Needle in the back.

If you are exhausted the way I was from walking a lot of Seattle the Monorail is a very quick way to get from the core of downtown over to the Space Needle and Seattle Center.

It was just $1.50 one way and it is very quick back and forth and I liked the views you got from above.

I found two web sites online, one for the existing system and another for the expansion. Apparently expansion of the Monorail is a hotly debated topic in Seattle.

In any event I appreciated the quick ride back downtown and you might too. Check it out!

Downtown Free Buses

Within the downtown district, you can ride the underground buses for free within circumscribed boundaries. This is a great money saver and an interesting feature of Seattle. We followed the entry to the subterranean tunnel at 5th & Pine Streets to catch a bus to Pioneer Square.

Everything is clean, well-lit, mostly exhaust free and the tunnels even feature some decorative details. Use will see that polished granite has been used for floor, walls and benches. Glazed decorative tiles spaced through out are quite nice too.

Most city maps should should bus lines and the boundaries of the "ride free" areas. You can probably pick these maps up free of charge at your hotel, in tourist areas, Pike Place Market, etc.
