Located on Washington’s Puget Sound, Seattle
stands tall in the beautiful and magical Pacific Northwest. Snow-capped mountains, glimmering lakes
and bays, copious coffee shops and a vibrant cultural scene are just a few of the city’s many charms.
Blessed with a bustling waterfront, charming neighborhoods, award-winning restaurants and a
cosmopolitan city center, Seattle will appeal to all.
Attractions
Pike Place Market, which recently celebrated its 100
year anniversary, is the oldest continually-operated public farmer’s market in the country. The market is
an open-air mecca for produce, fresh crab, salmon, baked goods, art, crafts and dining. Even if you’re
not looking to buy, there’s no better way to capture the vibe of the city.
Experience the Seattle Aquarium ... the
window to Puget Sound and beyond. Sea otters, fur seals—more than 380 species of fish, invertebrates, birds and
marine mammals. Feel as though you are walking underwater in the Dome. Touch tide pool creatures in the Discovery
Lab and witness the entire lifecycle of Pacific salmon in the world’s only aquarium-based salmon ladder and fish hatchery.
Woodland Park Zoo is hailed as one of the finest zoos in
the world for its award-winning naturalistic exhibits. More than 300 animal species from around the world and a
thousand plant species are displayed in the 92-acre botanical garden.

premier art museum! With an impressive collection of more than 21,000 objects, from Old Master paintings to African
masks to contemporary Northwest Art, the museum offers exciting artistic experiences for visitors of all ages.

Seattle favorite since 1952. The museum features award-winning exhibits and programs that bring 150 years of Pacific
Northwest history to life.
Dining
Contrary to popular belief, Seattle is more than espresso carts, espresso stands, and espresso bars.
Seattle is a food lover’s paradise, drawing on the rich bounty of the region as well as diverse ethnic
traditions. There are hundreds of fine restaurants serving up delectable delights from fresh seafood
to steaks and traditional fare from Asian to Italian. (See Dining Page)
