Overview

Overview

Seattle's accomplishments in this overachieving techy capital are overshadowed by Mother Nature's prowess. With Mount Rainier to the south and the Olympic Mountains west, orcas swim in large saltwater inlets, tiny creeks house spawning salmon and deer hide in the gullies. Get ready to skedaddle to Seattle.

See

Zip up to the Space Needle and survey the city. See the buzzing Seattle Waterfront - a hotchpotch of ships, shops, restaurants, Pike Place Market and tourists. Have a blast and feel like a rock star at the nearby Experience Music Project (EMP), then go next door to the Science Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame to see what's "out there".
Spend

Discover legendary service and style at Nordstrom in Downtown. Rummage around First Avenue in the Pioneer Square District for antiques and art. Souvenirs, crafts and foodstuffs rule at Pike Place Market as do all things Asian at Uwajimaya in the Chinatown-International District. Find fresh and funky fashion at Les Amis in Fremont.
Get Out

Savour the outdoors. Share Green Lake Park's three-mile loop with bikers, joggers and walkers. Amble or jog the path on the waterfront to Myrtle Edwards Park, where white-collar workers do it in the morning and at lunchtime. Wake up and smell the roses at Washington Park Arboretum.
Culture

When the sun sets, Seattle's spotlights are lit. Enjoy the opera and ballet at McCaw Hall in Seattle Center. Go Downtown to hear every last note of the symphony thanks to Benaroya Hall's outstanding acoustics. Explore the theatre scene: Seattle is said to be a proving ground for Broadway.
Eat & Drink

Seattle is a gathering place for foodies, especially seafood fans. Belltown has trendy restaurants and Asian cuisine resides in the Chinatown-International District. Downtown, Pioneer Square District, Lake Union and Capitol Hill offer a smorgasbord of everything from succulent steaks to Pan Asian.
New Perspective

Taste wine and stroll in the Japanese gardens on Bainbridge Island. Take the evening ferry back for Seattle's best view, of city lights reflecting in the water with a shadowy mountainous backdrop.

Fit In

Being fit and comfortable is the name of the game here. In the high-tech world, jeans, trainers and sweatshirts are often standard business attire. Accessorise with a friendly, relaxed urban look and an enjoyment of nature.

Get Around

Get Around

Boxed in by the Pacific Ocean and Puget Sound to the west and Lake Washington and the Cascade Mountains to the east, the neighbourhoods merge into each other and everyone has their own opinions of where the boundaries lie.

Downtown and the Waterfront is the beating heart of business, government, upscale shopping and entertainment. South is the Pioneer Square District, to the east of that is the Chinatown-International District, with Capitol Hill to the north-east. To the north is trendy Belltown, and the neighbourhoods of Queen Anne, Lake Union and Denny Way. Funky Fremont is north-east of Lake Union.
Bus

Seattle's excellent bus system makes navigating the city a breeze. All buses provide wheelchair and bicycle lifts plus helpful drivers who cheerfully announce significant stops and give directions.
Tram

Historic green and yellow trams, the Waterfront Streetcar, link Pier 70 and the International District/King Street Station, with stops near the Seattle Aquarium and Pioneer Square District.
Taxi

Taxis can be hailed from in front of hotels, the airport or by telephone, equipped with friendly, reliable drivers. From downtown it is possible to hail them on the street, but from residential areas better off at a taxi rank or by telephone.
Ferry

Washington State Ferries are an attractive way to see the area. Sailing from Piers 50 and 52, 801 Alaskan Way in the city centre, they link the city with the Olympic Peninsula, Bainbridge Island and other parts of the region.
Foot

Navigating Seattle by foot is only for the hale and hearty: East-west streets are often very steep, which may account for the high fitness levels of many locals.
Monorail

The 1.6km, two-minute monorail ride, built for the 1962 World's Fair, links downtown Seattle to Seattle Center, home of the Space Needle, Pacific Science Center, the Experience Music Project, and a host of entertainment venues.
Transport Tips

The Visitor Pass, providing unlimited daily travel on all regular Metro services, is the cheapest way to go. It is easy to get around by car, but parking costs are pricey.
Time Travel

Travel to the Pioneer Square District, where the city reinvented itself after the great 1889 fire. Grab an espresso and browse the stalls of century-old Pike Place Market. Go to Seattle Center, home of the 1962 World's Fair and have a look at the Frank Gehry-designed, futuristic, colourful exterior of the Experience Music Project.
