The Alaskan seafood feast at the Crab Pot on Seattle’s waterfront.
The Crab Pot is known for its seafood feasts, where a steaming pile of crab, shellfish, sausage, corn and potatoes is poured straight onto your paper-covered table and you dig in with mallets and bibs. The photo shows the feast from this visit.
It’s a fun, messy meal and a good one for groups. The restaurant is on Pier 57, next to the Seattle Great Wheel.

Niagara Falls in November 2019.
Niagara Falls straddles the border between Ontario, Canada, and New York State and is made up of three falls: Horseshoe Falls, American Falls and Bridal Veil Falls. Together they move an enormous volume of water every second, and the mist and roar are unforgettable up close.
The falls are lit up in colour every night, which makes an evening visit worth planning for.

The roof is closed for one more Seattle Mariners game against the Chicago White Sox at T-Mobile Park in September 2019.
T-Mobile Park’s retractable roof covers the field when it rains but leaves the sides open, so even with the roof closed the ballpark still feels like an outdoor stadium. The photo shows the view under the roof at night.
This was the last of several games in a row against the White Sox that month.

A late-season homestand is a good time to catch a game, with smaller crowds and good seats easier to find.
