Seattle Central LibraryFree: All time

Visiting libraries isn’t your idea of fun? View some photos of the Seattle Central Library and reconsider. This award-winning architecture is breathtaking in both its exterior and interior. The library comes with a coffee and sandwich shop. Wi-fi access is free. Its 10th floor offers a great view of Elliott Bay and beyond. And… there’s a neon yellow lighted escalator in the library. Need I say more.
