Seattle
Mountain and ocean views, fresh seafood, great coffee and better wine: What's not to love about Seattle, the largest city in the Pacific Northwest? The sparkling waters of Elliott Bay, Lake Union and Lake Washington wrap around this city, where shimmering skyscrapers and forests of evergreens coexist. Punctuated by the Space Needle, fed by the Pike Place Market and entertained by the Seattle Mariners, Seattle offers rich experiences for outdoor enthusiasts, families and foodies. The only question is what to do first.
