DK Travel : Seattle

Over the last decade, Seattle has blossomed into a bustling powerhouse of influence, steering the future of high technology as well as popular culture. The population of this vibrant metropolis is fueled by the latest in software, espresso drinks, music, and visual art that’s often as far on the leading edge as the city itself. Seattle has emerged as one of the most attractive cities in the United States, with an ever-changing skyline that reflects the pioneering spirit that brought settlers here in the mid-19th century.

Hotel Andra

The Andra is a delightful, stylish hotel in a terrific location. It is central for most Seattle attractions, shopping and dining - we walked almost everywhere. The lobby is very welcoming and a lovely place to sit and watch the world go by. Bedrooms are attractively furnished; some bathrooms are on the small side but nothing to get upset about. Rates are very reasonable and there are some good deals to be had. Highly recommended.
Hotel Monaco

What was once a phone company’s switching center is now a sophisticated hotel. All rooms come with a fax machine and CD stereo.
Hotel Vintage Park

Part of the upscale Kimpton group, this hotel offers such comforts as plush terrycloth robes, lush fabrics and cherry wood furniture, and a hosted wine hour by a wood-burning fireplace in the lobby. Try Tulio, the award-winning Italian restaurant downstairs for a sumptuous dinner.
Howard Schultz (b. 1953)

Schultz turned a few local coffee stores into the global Starbucks Empire worth billions of dollars.
Hurricane Ridge

Drive to this 5,230-ft (1,594-m) mountain top at one of Olympic National Park’s most visited sites. The routes are paved, and bring visitors to one of the best 360-degree alpine overlooks. In winter, when the snowpack is immensely deep, the roads remain open for skiers and snowshoers.
I Love Sushi

This waterfront hideaway attracts crowds, as fish is always fresh.
