We're going to show you guys what you can do with a scooter in Seattle.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use the walkway at the top of the Pike Place Market parking garage to avoid stairs with a mobility scooter.
Be aware that Lowell's Restaurant does not have an elevator to the second floor for wait service.
The Gum Wall alleyway is brick and can be bumpy for those using walkers or wheelchairs.
