Description
Beautifully set against a dramatic backdrop of commanding mountain ranges, lush evergreen forests and picturesque waters sits the cosmopolitan city of Seattle. Renowned for its long and storied music history, where stars such as Jimi Hendrix, Nirvana and Pearl Jam launched their notable careers, the bustling urban hub remains lively with countless event venues, an active independent music scene and a vibrant community of culture. World-class museums, vintage cinemas and an array of unique public art installations can be found throughout the city, along with the futuristic Space Needle, a 1962 World’s Fair legacy, as its most iconic landmark. A thriving and diverse culinary landscape offers a wide variety of dining selections, from waterfront seafood grills and farm-to-table bistros to vegan cafes and eclectic corner spots. And with more than 2,000 coffee houses sprinkled about, it’s easy to stay caffeinated enough to see it all.
