Known as one of America's trendiest and most livable cities, Seattle is a delight for the tourist. You can shop at Pike Place Market (watch out for flying fish!), visit the International District and historic Pioneer Square, and cruise Puget Sound by ferry or sailboat. Just outside the city are more great sights and experiences, from northwest wineries to the San Juan Islands, where Orca whales make their home.
Seattle is truly a cultural melting pot, shaped by the Pacific Rim in everything from architecture to its eclectic cuisine. The art of glassblowing, pioneered by Dale Chihuly, is on display at Seattle galleries and the Museum of Glass. And you'll have a special opportunity to sample the city's music scene at our Tuesday evening General Reception at Experience Music Project, a new interactive museum of American popular music.
