8 things for Iowa Hawkeyes fans to know while in Seattle
If you're an Iowa Hawkeyes fan in Seattle for the big game, you'll want to read this.If you don't have a ticket to see the action in person, the official Iowa game watch location is Buckley's on Queen Anne, hosted by the Western Washington Iowa Club. They'll be open at 9 a.m. Foodies can take a food tour at the Pike Place Market! Get the inside scoop on where to shop and hang out, and taste food from local vendors along the way. Or, just check it out on your own for free. That's where the Famous Fish Market can be found. Sometimes workers will throw fish just for the tourists, or let you throw a fish for a donation. Other times, to see a fish get thrown, you'll have to buy one. Right around the corner from Pike Place is one of the grossest — but also one of the most famous sights — it's the Post Alley Gum Wall. Be sure and bring your own gum to leave your mark. Another free photo op — you can snap a selfie with the Fremont Troll, located under the Aurora Avenue Bridge. He gets a giant Santa hat like this during the holidays. If you're staying through the weekend, check out the Fremont Sunday Flea Market. Get the best view of the Seattle Skyline from Kerry Park. All you need is a few minutes here to snap some photos. Another idea is to connect with nature on a half-day tour to Snoqualmie Falls and hike to Twin Falls.Enjoy your travels, Iowa fans!
