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.

Paradise

Leads to wildflower-filled meadows, and trails starting at 5,400-ft (1,646-m) to moraines and majestic views of the Nisqually Glacier.
Paramount Theater

One of the most treasured theaters in town, the faithfully restored Paramount dates from 1928 and exudes the charm of the popular Beaux Arts style of grand movie palaces of its period. Today, it presents Broadway shows, jazz and rock concerts, and dance performances.
Patagonia

Its roots as purveyor of first-rate gear, rugged wear, and polar fleece comfort began with alpinist and founder Yvon Chouinard.
Paul Horiuchi (1906–1999)

His heavily textured, abstract Expressionist collage painting utilized Zen philosophy to create mysterious works.
Pendleton

Thomas Kay founded this popular retail outlet specializing in blankets, and clothes for men and women.
Pensione Nichols

Personalized services and its proximity to downtown make Pensione Nichols B&B a decent in-city choice. It may be a little worn on the edges, but the clear views of sparkling Puget Sound are great.
Peter Miller

A specialty bookstore that makes you feel sleek and creative. Scout for anything on architecture, graphic design, landscaping, and art in general, or Corbu letter stencils, planners, business-card holders, and artimbibed gift items.
Pike Brewing Company

Best for microbrew, pub food, or brewing supplies.
Pike Place Market

An integral part of the Seattle experience, visitors flock to this thriving landmark all year round. Explore the invigorating mix of fresh seafood, farmers’ produce, flower stalls, and ethnic foods.
Pike Place Market

There is no other attraction in Seattle that shows so many different qualities of a city and its people. Anyone descending on the Market to stroll by innumerable stalls of seafood, fresh produce, crafts, and flower bouquets can feel the rapid pulse of a scene that’s all about hard work and hustle. Today, the Market is famous for its salmon-throwing fishmongers and street musicians who entertain tourists daily.
