Seattle
is often characterized by its laid-back attitude and rainy
climate, but this thriving metropolis also offers
one-of-a-kind architecture, the Olympic and Cascade mountain
ranges, and a unique urban sophistication.
A trip to Seattle isn't complete without visiting Pike Place
Market. Here, you can browse the stalls of local merchants
and artists, take in a street performance, or watch
fishmongers play catch with the catch of the day. |

Thanks
to the fish-abundant waters, Seattle offers fabulous seafood
restaurants, ranging from fine dining to casual eating.
There's also a great selection of brew pubs, and of course,
coffee shops. With lattes and cappuccinos on just about every
street corner, Seattle's easygoing attitude seems to be fueled
by caffeine.
