 Nestled between the Olympic Mountains and the Cascade Range, and reflected in the waters of Elliott Bay, Lake Washington, and Lake Union, Seattle is known as “The Emerald City” for very good reason.
Historic Pioneer Square, trendy Belltown, and the International District are visitor favorites, and the city’s many waterfront parks are ideal for family activities.
The Pike Place Market, world famous for fishmongers who delight crowds by hurling salmon through the air, also features the freshest of local fruits, vegetables, and flowers, and is a must on any true “foodie’s” list.
While the 360° view from the Space Needle is matchless on a sunny day, your visit to Seattle demands a ride on the Washington State Ferry system to nearby Bremerton, Bainbridge or Vashon Islands to experience the region’s breathtaking beauty.
Even though Seattle endures a reputation for rain and gray skies, it’s one of the fittest cities in the U.S. according to a 2005 article in Men’s Fitness magazine. Its many outstanding opportunities for outdoor recreation include Hiking, kayaking, sailing, mountain climbing, downhill and cross-country skiing, snowboarding, and water sports. |

 Seattle-Tacoma International Airport is just half an hour away from the city center and a recently completed light rail link allows you to completely avoid the traffic and steep daily parking fees. The Port of Seattle has been expanded in recent years, making the city a gateway for the popular Alaska cruising market.
In 2010, nearly a million cruise ship passengers passed through the city, many enjoying a pre- or post-cruise stay as part of their vacation.
Seattle is temperate year-round and receives less than 40 inches of rain a annually, although it’s skies are gray about 50% of the time. Your choice about when to visit depends on the activities you’d like to pursue: if you’re a winter sports enthusiast, plan on coming between November and March – when it’s raining in Seattle, it’s snowing in the nearby mountains.
The warmer, drier months of summer (June through September) are the peak tourist season, and because they coincide with the Alaska cruising season, hotels are often fully booked weeks at a time. |
