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.

  • Inside, the decor and kitschy artifacts reflect the styles of the 1950s. Popular basics include the BLT and club sandwiches, hand-dipped malted milkshakes, and spinach salad.

  • Mercer Island is a small affluent community off Interstate 90 near Lake Washington’s eastern shore. The lovely water-front park, on the northeastern tip of the island, offers boaters and visitors notable attractions such as tennis courts, a playground, and trails that lead to a swimming area and fishing dock. On summer Sunday afternoons, the park hosts free concerts in its amphitheater.

  • Try the African Amber for thirst-quenching nirvana.

  • A cherished bakery café famous for bread pudding with fresh cream and berries, soups, salads, and sandwiches.

  • The serious gourmand will need to save time to browse in the area’s only bookseller dedicated to used and vintage cookbooks.

  • Ballard’s vintage theater offers modern luxuries.

  • Try to reserve a private tatami room if you have a large group.

  • It’s been billed as a video bar, but the clientele arrives to look and be looked at. They serve stiff but pricey martinis.

  • Here’s where to purchase official team jerseys and t-shirts, baseball caps, and other gift items emblazoned with the Seattle’s winning professional league team logo.

  • Order a pint of Nightwatch at this tavern.
