Atlas Obscura Sights: Seattle Downtown

I reserved Saturday for my Atlas Obscura explorations. Jeff and I went out to breakfast at a nearby Panera Bread, after which I walked over to the Federal Way Transit Center to take the express bus to Downtown Seattle.

The bus took about 45 minutes. My first stop after alighting the bus was the Amazon Spheres, which are three glass spheres set up for Amazon employees. The spheres also feature a rainforest inside them. When I got to the site, I saw that there were free tours that day. Unfortunately, the tours had to be booked in advance, and I could not secure a spot. Also on the grounds were a doggy play area, which I guess was built to facilitate employees who wish to bring their dogs to work, and also a community banana stand where I scored a free banana.

A short walk away from the Amazon Spheres was the second sight on my list: an 80-foot tall sequoia tree.
