Voted one of America’s most livable cities, Seattle is a thriving metropolis in a beautiful, natural setting, surrounded by the waters of Lake Washington and Puget Sound with numerous ports, waterways and islands off the coast.
Seattle’s climate is moderate, and visitors flock to the area to enjoy both the modern, urban city and the recreational access offered by the Cascade and the Olympic Mountains, including highest peak, Mount Rainier.
In the historic neighborhoods of Capitol Hill, Belltown, Fremont and Ballard, visitors enjoy turn-of-the-century wooden houses and industrial buildings, all restored into elegant homes, designer lofts, unique shops, galleries and night spots. These areas, along with Pioneer Square, Downtown and University District all offer clubs, bars, coffee houses, cinemas and eccentric eateries. Due to the strictly enforced minimum drinking age of 21 years, a number of ‘all ages’ live music venues in the city center do not serve alcohol to minors but offer a wide range of the latest in local music. Whether you're an active or leisure traveler, Seattle offers truckloads of fun and excitement for everyone. |
