Seattle Travel Tips

  • Opt for a harbor cruise or a sunset sail.  Private charters are also available.
  • Discover American music's roots at the Experience Music Project.
  • Consider a ski trip in winter. Seattle is all about the surrounding mountains, and the nearby ski areas of Snoqualmie Pass, Stephens Pass, and Crystal Mountain draw regional snowboarders and skiers.
  • Saltwater-fishing opportunities exist year-round in Seattle, though during certain times of year salmon must be released, usually around May and June. During those times, fish for lingcod, cabezon, and flounder.

Seattle Overview

Imagine yourself sitting in a park on the Seattle waterfront, a double-tall latte and a marionberry scone close at hand. The snowy peaks of the Olympic Mountains shimmer on the far side of Puget Sound, while ferryboats come and go across Elliott Bay. It's a summer day, and the sun is shining. (Hey, as long as we're dreaming, why not dream big?) It just doesn't get much better than this, unless, of course, you swap the latte for a microbrew and catch a 9:30pm summer sunset. No wonder people love this town so much. Read More
