Seattle Guide

What is there to do in Seattle?

Seattle is like several cities in one, such is the diversity embedded into the bustling hub of art galleries, museums and impressive architecture. Copious attractions drench Seattle in a sea of history, culture and vitality, and Pike Place Market is the pinnacle of entertainment and interest. The market is a mecca of fresh food, where the local residents congregate to peruse the stalls and haggle for a bargain. The market steals the attention in regards to food, but there are numerous fine restaurants lining the centre, serving delicious seafood fresh from the waters. The marketplace has thrust Seattle into major prominence around North America, though there are many more facets to the unique metropolis. Technology giants, Microsoft and Amazon, were born in the great city, inevitably creating a thriving business and entrepreneurial scene that is growing at an exponential rate. The myriad of offices and business complexes paint Seattle as a picture of logic and regiment, but that would do a disservice to the unassuming art scene which has sparked a fresh energy into the central areas. Chihuly Garden and Glass is a particular highlight, though just to walk around Seattle provides enough aesthetic stimulation, especially the Space Needle which has become the city’s most iconic landmark.

How do you get around Seattle?

Most locals choose to travel around Seattle by car, hence the superb road connections out and around the city. For anyone needing public transport, an efficient metro system is available around the entirety of the districts.
