Seattle Washington Tourism

You can look from every direction in this city and see some of the most spectacular natural beauty. To the east is the Cascade Mountain Range.

The Olympic Mountain Range from the west and Seattle sits on a narrow isthmus between Puget Sound, the saltwater arm of the Pacific Ocean and the freshwater Lake Washington. 14,410 foot Mt. Rainier looms out of the southeasterly direction and is a breathtaking sight no matter what time of day you see it.

Seattle is one of the most beautiful cities you’ve ever seen. It has everything you could want for a vacation destination and then some. When you see it from the 605 foot Space Needle, you will fall in love.

Seattle is a bustling city with more than enough to do and see. The Seattle Center, a 74-acre park, boasts of being the entertainment and cultural heart of the city.

Seattle’s Pike Place Market is one of the last Farmer’s Market of this size and variety left in the country. This has now become one of the most popular attractions in the city. Take the Pike Place Hillclimb Tour if you want to find many of the seafood restaurants you’ve heard about.

The Hillclimb will take you down several flights of stairs to the waterfront. This area stretches for approximately a mile and a half from Piers 52 to 70. You will find amazing restaurants, great shops and many attractions in this area, including the departure of the Spirit of Puget Sound harbor cruises. Argosy Cruises also take you sightseeing or to the Tillicum Village on Blake Island for an American Indian Salmon bake.

Depending on what season you visit Seattle, you might want to take in a sporting event. Seattle is home of the Seahawks & Mariners who invite you to come to a game.
