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.

  • This Ballard waterfront restaurant has two dining rooms. The café caters to happy-hour revelers, families, and informal diners, while the boathouse is reservation-only seating. Both menus includes the freshest Dungeness crab, oysters, and wild salmon from Alaska.

  • The entrance sign perhaps best sums up the philosophy of a club that features some of the area’s best DJs: “No minors, drunks, drugs, bigots, or loud-mouths.”

  • Many authors make their home here, and historical fiction, music biography, and science fiction are just a few popular genres that have taken root. Pioneer Square’s Elliott Bay Book Company (see Seattle Center) sponsors one of the region’s most treasured reading and lecture series.

  • Draws huge crowds for its microbrews and tastefully prepared pub food. The burgers, ribs, salads, and sandwiches are just great.

  • Seattle’s earliest micro-brewers began in May 1981.

  • This store helped define Seattle as an outdoor recreation mecca.

  • This deluxe hotel has a penthouse swimming pool, a whirlpool tub, and a workout room. It is near many major attractions

  • This bar houses the miniscule Jewel Box Theater, a 1926-era private movie screening room, while the remodeled bar draws hipsters and condo dwellers.

  • This Belltown bar’s back room seats only a few diehard fans of independent film.
