1. Pike Place Market
Port: Seattle
More than a century old, Seattle’s legendary farmers market is also home to more than 200 local artisans plying handmade wares ranging from pottery to paintings to hand-carved wooden longboards. Shop for one-of-a-kind finds in the Main and North Arcades, then head to Beecher’s Cheese to sample the killer mac and cheese and watch the cheesemakers work their magic.
Lay of the land: Pike Place sits on Elliot Bay, just a 20-minute walk from Pier 66, where Oceania and Norwegian dock.
Address: 85 Pike Street
