If you work in one of the Goodman Real Estate buildings — from Pier 70, the Market Square or Pioneer Square — you get the shore side flavor of Seattle’s waterfront. With Seattle weather usually staying summery well into October, why not get a little more in depth look at our working waterfront? Seattle’s Argosy Cruises offers a variety of on-the-water experiences, with one of the most popular being a one-hour narrated harbor tour. Cruise Elliott Bay and hear about Seattle’s history while taking in the colorful waterfront, skyline, and shipping terminals. The magnificent Cascade and Olympic mountain ranges provide the backdrop. It’s a great way to spend an hour… maybe after work or on your lunch break. Cruises depart from Pier 54.
