Over the last decade or so, Seattle has developed into a very interesting and cosmopolitan city. You can chalk it up to an influx of Microsoft money, but Seattle has become a really extraordinary place, filled with new and memorable architecture. These new developments include Safeco Field (home of the Seattle Mariners) and Seahawks Stadium (home of the Seattle Seahawks). This is now a city filled with great things to see and do, and the people are as friendly as ever. The only drawback to spending some time in Seattle? All that rain! Be sure to bring your umbrulla.
When you arrive in Seattle, you'll be struck by several things right away. The trees are so tall and so impressive! The water is so blue and so beautiful! And Mount Rainier, that gorgeous, snow-capped peak, looms over the city from almost any vantage point. This city is truly blessed with natural beauty. Its residents are also some of the nicest people you'll meet. Seattle is definitely a city worth visiting.
- Pros:Gorgeous natural features, friendly people, lots to see and do.
- Cons:Rain rain rain rain rain....

Good descriptions & tips & nice photos too! My 1st visit to Seattle was last year and I really enjoyed it. Some time was spent at Mt. St. Helen's too. Such a great area to visit!!
Glad you enjoyed The Emerald City and enjoyed some of what it has to offer! Nice tip on Snoqualmie Falls - I was married there!
Nice page on Seattle, keep writing up your tips, they make excellent reading. Happy travelling
I always wanted to take the underground tour. Such an unusual thing to do. Enjoyed reading your tips.
Hi Erin, your pages make great reading.
"She's dead, wrapped in plastic" G'Day there Erin. My wife & I stayed in the Salish Lode (c my Snoqualmie page) & I too referred to the 'Twin Peaks' tv series!
