Seattle -- Walking from Pike Place Market To Aquarium

Checking the bus trip planner, I can get from my hotel to 1st. Ave, and Union easily. Although the Aquarium isn't far, crossing that Alaskan Highway looks daunting on Google Maps. Can't tell if there is any kind of pedestrian crossing.

Can anyone offer advice? Thanks

Lots of light-controlled pedestrian crossings IMHO, best bet is to use the elevator down from the Market to its parking garage, which is at Alaskan Way level, then walk to the nearest light-controlled crossing.

Do you have Google Earth? If so, you can zoom down and see the pedestrian crosswalks.

There are various ways to get from 1st and Union to the Aquarium, including down a staircase you will find at Union Street and Western Avenue and then right on Alaskan Way.

Enjoy, HTTY

Thank you. With your advice, I'm sure to make it safely. Aquarium sounds lovely and has some Dale Chahuly art. Two of my favorite things.
