Known for its picturesque waterfronts to mountains beyond the city, Seattle is a major hub of the Pacific Northwest. Both a buzzing city as well as an outdoor lover’s paradise, Seattle is lined by the Puget Sound, Lake Union and Lake Washington, which is one of the reasons it’s home to some of the best seafood in the country. From strolling Pike Place Market while listening to Nirvana and sipping a hot coffee to taking the monorail between sites like Olympic Sculpture Park to the Space Needle, there’s lots to experience in the Emerald City.
